Steve G Hi hope you are well. This blog is a good idea. Once you start writing stuff it'll be a great idea. What's your highs and lows thus far? News here - Steve M and Alex B have left/are leaving, Mark C is going to run Opex, I'm holding my breath and hoping that the intern is able to support me and the house in York is now in my name and I've changed the locks. See ya.

Louise Hey Clare, I've been really looking forward to checking out your website and today I finally got around to it. I was bowled over by all the updates and info you've put on the site so far all Clare's friends. As for you Clare, slacking off sitting down to a bit of diary duty is sooooo not like you..... You'll probably put in about 100 pages of an entry on the whole thing the day before you go home knowing you wha! Meanwhile back at the bog, I'm getting ready for dinner out with Mam for her birthday. I'll make sure to update her on all the latest from the website! Hope you're having a great time whatever you're up to, wherever, whenever, however with whoever....! Love Lou xx

Evelyn McMahon Hey Chick, Oh my god you seem to be having a great time.. I am so jealous as i am sitting here at my desk looking out onto Abbey Street and realising there is absolutely no talent in ennis whatsoever.. so you better make the most of the eye candy while you are on your travels.. cos there ain't any over her... of course my apologies extend to any male readers who might be reading this i am sure ye are lovely and if you could just walk up abbey street mon to fri and brighten up my day a bit.. it would mean so much.. I got your postcard as well oh my god talk about the death cycles to Culane Lake you were always crashing into me and i got the scars on my knobly knees to prove it.. anyhow i will e-mail you soon prob at the weekend and fill you in on whats going on in my life.. i have few stories for you so you take care while you are out there and i just want to say shame on the rest of ye girls for not posting any messages and i am meant to be notorious for not keeping in contact..

Enzo Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woollen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with string, These are a few of my favorite things. Cream coloured ponies and crisp apple strudel, Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings, These are a few of my favorite things. Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes, Snow-flakes that stay on my nose and eye-lashes, Silver white win-ters that melt into spring, These are a few of my favorite things, When the dog bites, When the bee stings, When I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, And then I don't feel, so bad.

Lynne Wilson Get updating your site ! its nearly a month since you put anything on - and I'm nosey! Hope you are having a great time - Love Lynne
