well at last someone looks at blog occasionally particularly as Chris and Phil asked to start one

Well your young ladies will have to marry Rockefeller junior III to maintain their life style

I assume Issie went with school friend to a top hotel in NY - she knew all ropes when going thru Manchester airport as a veteran traveller

It would be agony for Anna as me here as like a pin cushion with mosquito and sand fly bites - i cannot sit on patio in evenings to read .

Incidentally Michael will have to sleep on a bed at Chris with wooden lats missing so there is a hole you have to avoid. I went there from Barts when let out sat night - they are going to get another sometime.

You did not let us know about Issie's spelling test - a runner up is fine . My Mother used to say " always the bridesmaid and never the bride" when we were young . There is a song about that .

We have been to beach today in Noosa - 90 and humid but we sit in shade and your Ma is happy as Larry if a good book - ideal area with great shops and facilities .

We may go to a Brisbane hotel for a weekend to have a bit of looking after although we eat well - your Ma has lost weight so trousers now fit her easily and some fall down - not a pretty sight. She feels better getting around.

Adam will have to email - he will be happy to get away to uni and i have him pencilled in to be a foreign journalist based in London!

Phil - can you encourage to get a job! Her advisor recommended as part of rehab.

James had to get me out of a mess as I was unable to order a replacement washer for flat in Hfd - my cheque card was rejected and as i said Australia is home for cloned UK bank cards as not all pin and chip etc . Curry's would not let you order from abroad - you had similar problems with BA going to Beirut.

Do you want to visit St Johns when in Jerusalem - you were there as kids - I can arrange


G&A will be pleased with another Grandchild

i am in cafe and going to Irish pub for happy hour and Chinese takeaway tonight .
