Happy 2008 from 2007 Thought I'd take the opportunity. Well it clearly wasn't Friday when you got that picture was it? Looks absolutely fantastic, keep those blogs coming.
Merry Xams & a Fab 2008! The weather is cold and wet and I cant stand the sight of any more chocolate/turkey/cheese/crisps/nuts/more chocolate and even alcohol! (although I'm sure I'll feel up to some vodka cocktails for NYE, mmmmmmmmm!) Andy is in front of the TV watching yet more football/darts/cricket (sorry D, Man U wont be top for the start of 2008) so I thought I'd just pop online to wish you guys a Happy and Healthy 2008, hope you get to celebrate in style and that 2008 brings you everything you wish for! Jxx
Cyclone Damon Hope you are both still on terra firma as Cycone Damon has just blown thru your way as you are no doubt aware. With luck it will have passed you by with high winds and heavy rain. Let's know your news Daren and Tina, we are thinking of you. Love from Brian and Rosemary.
Smell and "dirty rags"........ D - just read your comment about the drink preparation - how could that put T off? Sounds just like the kitchen here at work!! Oh how we miss our "fridge monitor" :-)
Life here is still same old same old, well what did you expect? Please post more photos soon to keep us smiling Jxx
Vuja De .... *settles into comfy chair - again - cracks open another can of beer, this time with some hot-buttered toast, and waits for the next update*
Kava & Mozzies Hi Brian
Yeah, we had our first Kava ceremony last night (many more to come I'm sure). Only had 2 cups and not really sure what to make of it. Tina didn't like the smell and the "dirty" rag they used to prepare it with so it may not be our drink of choice in the future.
Thanks for the warning about Mozzies. we will make sure we're fully stocked up with DEET before we head off.

well git was not the first thing that came into my head but as we have to keep this clean. you lucky lucky B#*?s?/# ds.

Greetings. Daren have you tried the local brew Kava, never fear it's not alcoholic. It's a narcotic. The drill is:- you are gathered round a large bowl of the stuff with an even larger Figian squatting beside it, you clap three times and are given a cup of it. For each refill you clap three times; when you are unable to place your hands together thee times consecutively you've had enough. Usualy my lips went numb after three cups. Tina you can look forward to meeting, free of charge, the Kiwi version of Mozzi especially in the lower South Island around about the Milford Sound, we call them our Ambassadors, they leave a lasting impression. Love from Rosemary and Brian.
Accidents Well done Tina, keep up the good work. We knew you wouldn't fail us, don't worry I am sure you will get to roll down a hill soon!!! Love to you both
Hmmmm Sounds like you're having a wonderful time, wish it were me. Will the 2 of you be staying on seperate islands (like the programme) then meeting up once a week to see if you want to stay together? Tina, remember that in order to defrost anything you need to stand on a table and hold the item closer to the sun - works a treat everytime.
Been a very poor weekend here in the Channel Islands, wind, rain, fog but fortunately no snow, Crevices or Robson's.
Keep well and hope to hear from you again soon.
May you take a little bit of us all with you on your travels. Not in a literal way of course...that would be disgusting, disturbing and give the customs chaps quite a shock ("Why...that would be a bag of human hair and nail clippings").
Send me a card from somewhere hot and sweaty, like L.A - I hear the football staduims are quite A La Mode at the moment.
I had really ... ... rather hoped to be the first in here but it appears I have been beaten to it by the Weaseliest of all the Weasels.
Fare ye well Young Hobbits - may you enjoy your adventures as you travel beyond The Shire. And remind me before you leave to tell you the three things ye must know about The Wise Woman.
Toodles.
Spare room When you say spare room, do you really mean Daren's naughty room?
I look forward to keeping track of your movements (no, not those movements!)
We're off on a year's traveling round the world. Leaving November 14th 2007. London>Fiji>NZ>OZ>Singapore>Malaysia>Sumatra>Java>Bali>Vietnam>Cambodia>Thailand>Hong Kong Phooey>London.
Looking forward to spending Christmas and new year Island hopping around Fiji and then 3 months driving round NZ in a camper van followed by 5 months of the same in Oz. Then we'll do some time traveling around South East Asia, hopefully to see Orangutans in Medan, Sumatra and Borobudur in Java before some R&R in Bali. Then some touristy stuff in Vietnam including a train journey between... full info
