Hi ya, awesome photos dude! I'm Lina, a friend of Sarah's and she sent me the link to check out the photos from her very crazy Jamaican party! Love the costumes! Hope you're having a wicked time in NZ!
I miss Wellys... :P

L :)

I can only assume someone slipped fake tan in my factor 20 as in all photos I seem to have a rather jaunty (jaundiced?) orange face. I ll be back (to visit) the city is too much fun and no place for a bear to live.

yeah, and we want presents too.

Yeah Tev, you tell him from me too. I mean, what are the rest of us Isaksens supposed to live off if he doesn't get himself a well-paid job as a travel writer and start posting the cheques back? Blue money? There was a reason for having a third child, and it wasn't for company... Love & hugs, L.

Teva will you tell Kris to write something, he dragged me half way around Glasgow so that he could find the perfect laptop to write entertaining stories from on his travels. we've been waiting a while now

Teva,

Hisokani Taranaki he. Sokokara nansei ni hyaku yaado, gojuu hiro no fukasa ni takara ari.

Hey All!
Well, as this seems to have become a bit of a family catch up spot i thought i'd add to the trend... have you been gone so long that your friends have forgotten you??
No i'm sure that they miss you guys as much as us!... So - Teva and Kris sending all good thoughts to you both and teva, i hope that the card you refered to was from this sister and that your winter coat arrived in time to prevent you freezing!
Zoe - great to read a bit about Erraid and looking forward to seeing you in August when Trish and I make it up for a long weekend (staying in Edinburgh on the the way up (15th Aug) for anyone who will be around- would be lovely to catch up!)
Aunt Suzi - Can't believe i missed your birthday! - Sending very much love and belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY thoughts to you!
ANd i could go on with messages everyone but thats not really the purpose of this message board... and i have to finish packing as about to head over to Trish's and we're off to turkey tomorrow!!!
So will be thinking of you as i kayak down that Lycian coast of Turkey... Sending much love, Ona xx

Hi Zo,
the funny messages I send are not to everyone but just you and mum. But not Kris. Because he never sends me emails detailing his exciting adventures with exotic women on the other side of the world.
(Sniff).

Hi Teva and Kris,
Hope you are well, I just got back from Erriad evryone there sends their love to you. Had a great time swimming in Balfour bay, hot sunshine, cooking for the family, amazing sunsets, sheep round ups - but just couldn't deal with helping castrate and cut off those little lambs tails only using a knife and a rubber band - maybe Iv'e been in The Park too long and turned woosy. Ah, a crofters life. "crofters lamb soup anyone"?- no really they didn't, the tails apparently had maggots in them anyway- sorry that was a bit grim - but true
Anyhoo, I am doing fine and have quite a few experience weeks coming up soon, so life is busy. Love to you all. Hey Leif I'm your long lost sister Zoe, by the way. although i like the funny stuff you send on fridays even if it is to everyone.
xxZoe

Hi Kris, is your hair growing back GINGER or is that just a trick of the light in some of the new photos? Don't listen to mr no-mates Leif he's just jealous because you're demonstrating manly AND close and there's nothing wrong with keeping those feet like silk.
Gosh we do miss you and wonder if you will come home in time for Christmas - Wow two winters in one year!
Hope you stay warm and lots of love to you both ( and Barney) . Mother India xxxxxxxx

Must I actually put a picture of myself engaging in a carnal act with a female for you all to know my oritation in the bedroom?
I can make no claims for young Kristal-tips, but, although there is nothing wrong with two men enjoying an alternitive lifestyle together, that ain't my slant.
Coming up...
Pictures of me with Barn-dog doing sport, watching football and drinking beer (hopefully with ladies).

Hey dudes
What's a-happenin'? As far as I can tell you're spending waaay too much buddy-time. Brokeback mountain was all well and good (It does a man good to stride naked in the wild with his compatriots from time to time. Reminds him of his masculinity, his virility, his odour) but cooking together? stripy v-neck fashion shows? FOOTSPAS?!? No, no, no - it's all got to change. Take the Barnstaple for instance. Before he left you guys he was just another no-hope chemistry-grad loser bound for a life of sterile academia in an (American!) ivory tower, his life over before it had even begun. A month or so later he towers as a collosus amongst men (quite literally), bringing the noble torch of truth and enlightenment to New Zealand's future generations, even as he communes at dusk and daybreak with the birds and beasts of field and shore. I know it's hard, but try spending just a little time apart. Kris could try taking the rubbish out by himself for instance, or you could pop round the corner for some milk, Tev. One step at a time. One step at a time. I look forward to seeing my humble wisdom put to good use. In love and sacrifice, your brother Leif
