Dad Wow, that is bad losing everything. And they can't go anywhere till they get replacements? We have just got home again after the weekend at PL with Dave and Larissa (who we collected from Avalon) and Simon and Tanja. Great time. Weather quite good without being hot. Very nice fish meal Saturday night thanks Simon, and then Sunday, this morning, Dave and Larissa did breaky of pancakes. All sorts of toppings. Beautifull. Sorry we have been off line a bit, but i guess so have you. Hope the language thing goes well and the family are nice - and probably tea totallers might not be so bad!!!!! Ha ha. You are a big boy. Take care - guess you will especially now. Hopefully you will be re united with Sarah soon. Love Dad

Andrew Hey Lu, The lessons are Spanish ones, 4 weeks and living with a family. Should be good. I head off tomorrow, and hopefully sarah will be able to get her doccuments and come over soon.

Lucy b***** about sarah and her parents. That sucks. Glad to hear you are safe and sound and enjoying it all. Are the lessons you talk about the Spanish ones? All good here. Getting ready for Christmas. Christmas party next weekend then downhill race the following and then mum and dad, gran and pat arrive. All fun. Can't wait. Kids good and say hi. Love you. Xx

Big Rig Poppy beat us and made us work........

Big Rig good to see you have gone back to russia

Dad Very strange - this blog which is pre the Moscow one, was not up last night. Don't understand how that has happened. Still very interesting etc. Keep having fun. Love dad

Dad Hey man, not sure I agree with all your ma wrote. Domino is well and spends quite a while outside - her shaved area is slowly growing back, but still not as hairy as 'normal'. Simon and Tanja brought Granny up last weekend and we had a fun time pulling the fence down between us and Jurgen - the part for the house paddock, not the whole lot. Also finally moved that water pipe that we used years ago to pump water from the shed tank across to the house. Had to get the water out to make it light enough to reroll and store between 2 of the shed tanks. Opens up that area. You sound like you are having a great time - does sound interesting. Don't do what I did - went A over and got concussion while ice skating (in Canada just a few years ago!) Sweden here you come!! love Dad

Mum Sounds amazing ! you must be seeing and experiencing so many fun things ! Your trip has almost made me wonder about visiting Russia when we go to scandinavia . All well here. Just about to got o Wodonga to bank our tax returns ! woo hoo ! Well di it finally snow before you left ? No doubt it will be snowing in Sweden. I must admit sitting opn the beach in Miami sounds wonderful ! Another place on my wish list.

Dad (and Mum) Great to hear from you again. Alcohol still seems cheaper than most other drinks!!Your Ma and I read it together and she now knows how to navigate through the system. Expect more comments!!! Its 8pm Sunday and we have had a great weekend with Simon and Tanja, and they also brought Granny up. She got 1/2 hours notice on Saturday to be ready to come up here. Did quite a bit of clearing up with the side fence line on Jurgen's side nearly ready for replacing. Plus the prickly bushes near the vegie garden are also gone. Jurgen pushed them over with his tractor while he was snapping fence posts off - from the old fence. Achieved lots, and they got some decent weather instead of usual Melbourne s***. Keep enjoying and keep safe. Love Dad (and Mum) xxxxoooo
