English lesson: When you are contemplating using the word "nice", hesitate and think of a more descriptive adjective! A letter from an eminent person writing to the "Daily Telegraph" used "nice" so many times that I think I shall also write to him!
"Nice" is a vapid word! "Vapid" - just as Victoria Beckham has been described recently in her TV attempt to storm the States and Hollywood in particular.
Now, you've got to do something about Scotty! Do you really want to travel with a man who wears his underpants inside out , only changes his clothes ("stinky") when he arrives in another country and prefers to sleep in a luggage rack! (No photos received yet of this phenomenom! But, of course, it may be my inexpertise.)
What is all this "Jandals" business, someone, or is it an "in thing?
Lots of love my darlings, stay "streetwise".
PS: I'm working on a "billet" for you in Singapore (think you have plans to travel there at some time) - may not come off but can try!
Nic
Its not theamount of outfits I have taken, its the fact scott only changes his clothes per country, stinky!!! Well you keep wrapped up and safe, love you xx
JO
What I want to know is if Scott was allowed any room in his backpack or if Nic needed both for the number of outfits she seems to have taken with her??!! Good piccies, very jealous, we have flood warnings at the moment!! xxxxxxxxx
Scott And Nic
Hey guys, these are the photos as promised (2 hours later!!) Well done Jandals on getting a message on the board. Papa pinkney, you have gone quiet on me!?! Currently in Thessaloniki but heading off to Bulgaria soon, will keep you posted. Love as always xxxxx
Janet
Hi from the two of us. Read your update and could feel the heat! My problem with Greece was that I could never find a half decent bottle of wine! I'm sure that you will have circumnavigated that minor detail! Gave your address to Tom and Gill and Geoff. I know that they have read your blogs. We had a good time here on Sunday and you were talked about. I think that we were all feeling a little envious if the truth be known. One of the new New Zealanders was here, Nic Bindle from south island, a wing. I think all the noise was nearly too much for him. You are still, and always will be, my favourite Kiwi Scotty! Well you two. Keep applying the sun cream and continue to have fun. Will be in touch. Looking forward to the pics. Janet - and Tony too of course. xx
Jandals

Today's English lesson - re: photo in Rome of Nic on th "pretty Spanish Steps". Apparently in the l8thC the most beautiful women and men in Italy gathered on the steps waiting to be chosen as artists' models. Did you get any offers, Nic?
However, it is YOU who are pretty - NOT the steps. They are imposing or majestic or awe-inspiring.
End of English lesson - and today's message.
Look forward to the next leg of your journey.
Love, love, love to you both.

Will be a very short message as I have a crying Sam on one knee and a crying Isabel on the other - makes typing and more importantly being able to think enough to string two words together very difficult!!
All looks fantastic from the piccies - very jealous. Isabel got very excited when she saw a picture of you. Still not quite mastered 'Nic' but getting nearer.
