Make friends with a spider today
Great blog Sophster. Good idea to name your spider - it's the first step to making friends. Dad and I had a pet spider Henry that lived on the wing mirror of the van. Then he met a girl (pretty amazing I think that she was happy to take to the nomadic lifestyle) - that's love. We called her Henrietta. (I know, not very imaginative - perhaps we should have called her Catherine?) Then one day Henry wasn't there any more. I cried. But I guess that's part of living on a wing mirror. On one side you can catch flies really easily with a web that moves at 40-60mph, but on the other hand there is always the hazard of being removed by a bush in the narrow lanes of Devon. So, make friends with your Bob. Encourage him to catch the mosquitoes. If it's any consolation, there are a ridiculous number of mosquitoes here in Wiltshire. The spiders in my room are useless - the mossies just land on the webs then take off again! I killed 20 of them the night I got back from holiday in France! (Wish I'd brought the mosquito net back with me.) Fortunately I've only been bitten once, but I can't sleep as long as I here one buzzing in the room, especially when it tries to fly into your ear! It's good you've got air-cond - they really don't like it being below 18-20 degrees C. (Although it's probably not great for Global Warming to leave your air-cond on at 18 all night!) About sleeping on the plane - Club World is the way to go. I got an involuntary upgrade to Club World on the flight back from Bangalore. I did protest, but the girl at the check in insisted. ;-). Slept most of the way back. Good job as I only got 1hours sleep before hand - had to leave for the airport at 4am, and didn't finish squeezing all my shopping into my 2 bags until 3am! PS "fought", like ought and nought, rather than like taught. Isn't the English language so inconsistent? Google says "Si guardas el luchar ni uno ni otro de ti puede sentarse en mi regazo" That's cool - "send arse" meaning sit - wicked. (but that's European Spanish, might not be same in Paraguay). How different is the Latin Spanish to European? All I know is that you don't want to say "My dad embarressed me" - it may be taken the wrong way! Anyway, glad to hear you're enjoying it out there - keep us posted, love Uncle Hamish x

Our God Is A Great Big God?
Sounds like playground boasting to me.... Person A-"Yeah, but my God is bigger than your God" Person B-"Yeah? Well my God's got six arms and built in nunchucks!" All sounds grand, keep writing mahusive blogs so I have summat to do at work!

Well all miss you too, my dear. And bloody hell am I jealous that it's so hot. I've been sat in a classroom all day in a jumper praying that it doesn't rain on a book I (stupidly) left outside. xxxx

Good to hear that you are safely at your destination and that the only thing to complain about it the crappy Internet service. Look forward to reading the full Blog when the wireless router arrives. lots of love Charlotte
