| 17th August 2009 yermum | Arcata town square - From: ...Hitchhiking to Humboldt County... from Canada... Hey, it was Christmas 1976 when I was loitering around the town square in Arcata when a group of born agains asked me to come to Christmas dinner. I said "oh well" and went with them. Had a Christmas dinner that couldn't be beat in, you guessed it, Mckinnleyville, and they didn't even try to convert me. Not that anyone could do that. How 'bout that eh? The world line goes ever on........ |
| 11th August 2009 Dad | Where are you?? - From: ...Hitchhiking to Humboldt County... from Canada... Hey buddie I'm having bear dreams and you could be mid-city downtown somewhere. Just be a little more specific than Humbolt County and I'll rest a little easier. All is cool wet and green here and the bus is progressing ply board by ply board and carving at a time. Contact somehow to reassure the old bloke. Lots of love Dad |

I've been hard into the bus lately with the back bed, back cupboards and the front sliding and rotating seat coming on a treat. I've also carved a couple of panels to tie in the bedroom and cupboards. Problem is, being back at school now, time is precious and not as much is happening as I wish.

| 23rd June 2009 Lexeh! | HhhHHHhh - From: What goes on tour... keeps going on tour... Aw poor sicky!! I have three words for you! APPLE CIDER VINEGAR!! I'm serious! Have a tablespoon of it every morning, and add a dash of it to the water you are sipping all day. Its AMAZZZZZIIINNNGGGGG! It balances out the whole PH of your body and kills bacteria and is so good. Bonnie has swine flu, and she took ACV and it cleared up! WOOoooOOOoooOOooOOOOooOO! Miss you! Wish you were back here (although its pretty rainy and depressing and hybernation weather at the moment)...LUFFFFF YOUUU! hope you feel better and the tour goes quick! xxxooo |

We've had rain rain rain over the past few days and starting to hang out for school holidays so we can head north for a spell. Take care drivin on the wrong side of the road ( especially when turning corners) , love dad. |
| 19th June 2009 Karl | culture shock - From: America! F**k Yeah! I really do have to say I find it funny when people do come to the U.S. including my inlaws. Most go to these big cities like Milwaukee, Chicago, New York. They form an opinoin on what they see and the people they meet and I also would be in shock ( I hate the big cities ). While you are in the area go to Cedarburg to see an older German town talk to Wendy at the Washington House Inn for some history. Also check out La Crosse on the Mississippi for some of the best views of the bluffs and to meet some of the most freindly helpfull kind people in the state. Let me know if you head over here and I will help you out. Really do your self a favor and go to the rural areas rather than the big cities you will be suprised at what you will find. |
| 18th June 2009 chazlie | good food! thank gawd! - From: America! F**k Yeah! thanks for that struthie!! i looked em up! they sound awesome :) need as much healthiness as i can get to beat this bleedin flu... :S i know everyone in the US isn't a knob... i was just jetlagged and sick and happened to be surrounded by MidWest rock n roll knobs, so i didn't get the best introduction :P cant wait to get to some west coast banjo pickin and mandolin strummin folkies... or whatever other cool gypsies live around there :) hehe... thanks for readin my blog :) talk soon! love C. x ps. I bought an awesome electric uke!!! did you see? it's a washburn and was only $60. not as nice as Lila of course, but good for travelling! :) |
| 17th June 2009 Jaime | wha? - From: Sun is Shinin' ... at 10pm!! what do you mean the US isnt chilled out? huh? we are SO chill! ;) (im kidding of course!) Cant wait to make my way back to OZ where everything is right! |
| 16th June 2009 Struth | weeh-hey! - From: America! F**k Yeah! Whoa! How did you end up in the States? DOn't recall hearing about it before I got the TravelBlog email! Anyway, hope you're enjoying yourself so far! There are actually a lot of nice people around, they're not all horrible movie cliches, and when I was there in '07 we didn't come across a single Bush-ite bigot or the like. A tip which I know you will appreciate: If you're somewhere for a few days and you actually want to get groceries to make yourself some food etc, do your shopping at a place called Whole Foods - it is a chain of stores that are basically supermarket-sized health food shops! They have pretty much everything food-wise that a normal supermarket would have, except it's the organic/biodynamic/comparatively healthy-and-ethical version. Of course, there's all the health-food-shop stuff like psyllium husks and LSA meal etc. and they also have toilet paper and all the other non-food stuff you would need. I absolutely can't wait for Australia to get something similar... Check it out: www.wholefoodsmarket.com - there is a 'store locator' and stuff, so you can see if there's one nearby no matter where you are. Hope that comes in handy for ya! Have a good time! Struth xo |
| 15th June 2009 Dad | Well..there in crazyland! - From: America! F**k Yeah! Great idea getting your blog up and running again, we were all so entertained and informed in your last batch of travels. If you don't get a phone you can still reverse charges, just to know you're livin' ,laughin' etc. Have you got that can of pepper spray yet? No, really , take care . I'll be thinkin' of you Love Dad |
| 11th June 2009 Angie | Here we go again!!! - From: America! F**k Yeah! The blooger is back!! Keep us informed! Take care! mwa! |

| 4th June 2008 Trevor | sounds cool - From: Beneficio Commune I hope to visit Spain sometime this year . It will probabaly be in the autumn. I live in Ireland at the moment and am looking to buy a classic french camper , rebuild it and use it for long breaks. I was a businessman , but after losing first my business and then my children I have become a bit of a rebel and an ageing hippie . I love the north of Spain , but have not gone down to the south of Spain yet , so am looking forward to meeting lots of Spanish people and may visit this commune. I like Spain , the Spanish people and the Spanish women , especially the hairy Spanish hippie girls who are just great , some of the most beautiful women in the world. |

I rode back home through all the well-heeled neighborhoods of peppy grove where they all are blocked in all 4 obstacles and I took the train to Swanborne and found the Alchemist. It is SOOOYooo. Personally I think you should read the Mezzanine or Life the User's Manual by Perec. I mean these guys are seriously here to fold the socks. Aren't we all. It was lovely to hear from u I'm sorry I was so paranoid about answering my phone the night before but we have to watch it when the homeopaths are after us...hey...Luv u mum |

| 14th March 2006 Axmanius | - From: Le Grande Tours Hey Chazlie!! I really lke your travelblog, it's really cool & full of humor! I suggest you go to Lyon, that's the south-east of France. There you must go into a bar called The Smoking Dog. Have a drink there. Move on to l'Abruevoir (The DrinkingPlace), you won't find action as heavy as there. After that you will redirection your feet to The Antidote, there is club called Plastic People, go there and look for the DJ; BA Dat, say hello to him from John from Sweden.. They will have help you if you encounter problems.. Do it now! And goodluck on your journey my friend. Play the ukelele good. /Axmanius (John) |

| 2nd March 2006 faasha | Good to hear from you. - From: The Sunniest, Windiest place in the UK. Haha! The trick to avoiding the dreaded lergies is to completely anaesthetise your body ! Great to hear that Tirie was such a worthwhile experience. The concept of hitching in the snow is not one I feel comfortable with . You can freeze out there you know.I presume you're either an icy sentinal by the side of the Oban -Fort William road by now or back in the comfort of Castle Rock. Missing you as always. Much love Dad . I'll ring again now that your back in range. |

I am interested in what animals make of human music. :) |
| 23rd February 2006 faasha | Speed bonnie boat - From: Oban-dee Oban-da! Like a bird on the wing over the sea to Skye. Good to see you're doing something to alleviate your stasis.

Van Morrisons' motor is going to Albany this weekend so maybe I'll finally realise my Morris dream this year. Wait for the next installment. I'l try to ring soon again Lots of love Dad. |

Lucky skunk... much happy shouting, Luc |
| 4th February 2006 faasha | Sooo, you live and nearly breathe - From: Ho Hum... Hi Chaz, Well Jasper's asleep in his room with the fan blowing, cicadas are creating the summer atmospherealong with a few flies, infernal cabbage moths depositing their offspring on our broccoli and the shreiks of 28's as they sup on our unripe nectarines. Yes summer is here at last, just in time for the school year. I think by term start there was about 1 day suitable for swimming. Still it's the weekend and there's a chance now. Paddling was great and overcast weather wasn't a major disadvantage as I didn't burn to bits or boil. After 10 weeks we're both on leave without pay giving us a chance to travel and also rediscover out=r creative selves. The finances thingy isn't so good for travel so we'll be away a far shorter time than previously anticipated and will probably stall our departure. Tell you when we know more. Well Lots of love for now Call or arrange a time for me to call you sooon, Dad ,B and jasper . |
| 4th February 2006 Struth | !! !!!!!!!!!! - From: Ho Hum... You ARE a real musician! Don't you seeee? You don't have to know your scales and read music to be a "real" musician! Ok, knowing your scales can be handy for improvisation, but I warn you right now, there are some things reading may come in handy for but you don't NEED it! YOU by far don't need it. You're a "real" muso already, dude! And a bloody good one at that! ... Sorry about the choc-coated-coffee beans not arriving yet! There has been a little accident... I took them over the nullarbor and they melted! And I won't be able to get any more for quite a while, so for now I'm sending you something else which is just as food-orgasmic. And, forgive me for not remembering, but have I burned a Chipolatas CD for you yet?... *hughughug* struthieee |

But to see the most beautiful part you must get a little further than Orgiva. Well done, anyway. To know more: http://www.hippy.com/php/review-436.html ;) |
| 16th December 2005 goosie | - From: Beneficio Commune man...maybe I should build a tipi across the road! might attract all sorts of fantastic jamming people :) |
| 15th December 2005 Struth | Cool Tipis - From: Beneficio Commune There's a tipi at Woodford like that, but much smaller and cosier, the "chillout tipi" as it's known. It would probably comfortably five or six people before things started to get cramped. I actually kissed somebody in there... nostalgia hehe. |

| 14th December 2005 Louisa | laughing thru tears - From: The Importance of Siesta hi Chaz--you are the Compleat Hoot. Wish we were all travelling with you on this fabulous trip. I particularly like your dark ally missions and jamming with a chef and a one-handed drummer. Was the chef "banging on the pots & pans?" Love from all of us--The Pushy Stage Mother Of The West |
| 13th December 2005 Struth | - From: The Importance of Siesta You're a very beardy 12 year old, laddie. Where is Lila??? When are you reuniting with her???? Dad wants to know how she's doing. We're gonna start on the cuatro soon! Thinking of naming it Charlie... if it's ok with dad, I'm not sure if it's gonna be his or mine yet! |
| 10th December 2005 goosepie | - From: Sacromonte you'd make a great gypsie! |
| 9th December 2005 Struth | CAVES!!!! - From: Sacromonte That is the coooolest thing ever... I wanna live in a cave, surrounded by gypsies! They should have these things EVERYWHERE for the travellers that are too broke to actually pay for any accom! And hey, would you have to pay hideous Margaret River rates on a CAVE? I don't think so... :) You should turn into a gypsy, Chaz, then you could find out the best ways to do ANYTHING on the cheap!... and learn to play Django ukulele! |

| 6th December 2005 lyn in down town albany | - From: Keruac of España... continued! You've just had me in bloody stitches too..Yeah laughing out loud all by myself!!! Hope your stitches r all good and u keep a calm attitude in future when unsheathing that little pocket beast!!I'm referring to 'The knife'....of course. xoxo L |
| 6th December 2005 Gus_Granada | Welcome - From: Keruac of España... continued! Welcome to Granada. You arrived just in time to enjoy the brand new Christmas street lightning. I guess you probably have a return ticket to Scotland from Barcelona. In case you haven´t, consider the possibility of flying back to UK from Granada. Ryanair flies to London and Liverpool. Flying on December the 13th you can find a one way ticket for 14,00 Euros (taxes included). Much less than the bus back to BCN. While here some recomendations: - Dont miss Hanigan&Sons (better after 12:00 p.m.) - If you like snow or skiing try a day at Sierra Nevada (skiing under the sun)or just a trip to the Alpujarras area - You'll find the caves at the Sacromonte quarter. Try the disco "Camborio" for something different after 1:00 a.m. - The best tourist and non-tourist flamenco can be found in the Sacromonte. Try a walk there in daylight and nighttime, different worlds. Ask at the tourist office for the activities of the 'Centro de Interpretación del Sacromonte'- non expensive highest quality flamenco. A bit more expensive try the 'Los Farruco' family flamenco show in town these days. Or any of the Teatro Isabel shows this week. Better dancing than singing. - Most tourists miss the Campo del Principe Square, or the riverside. Dont. Happy stay |
| 6th December 2005 mum | gaudi - From: Keruac of España... continued! i hope when u get back to barthelona you don't slash your ass open sitting on the shard covered bench at parc guell. love from one who remembers u when you had no scars yer mum |

No, wait, maybe it would be better NOT to think about that... hehhhheh. I got you a present for yer birfday (and there'll be a Chrissy one soon as well) tell me where I should send them! |

| 14th November 2005 faasha | Spring at last - From: An afternoon of whimsy in the park AHHH! Spring at last. Today was actually sunny all dad , not drizzly spitting or southern polar bitter. Jasper & I played outdoors ( with hats on of course) and looked for frogs and lizards in the long grass and back pond. I mowed part of the rye grass and wild oat jungle and in the late afternoon finally planted out some tomatoes and basil which have intermibly been sitting in pots while Bianca and Jasper munched corn chips under the grape arbour. At present I'm burning the midnight oil writing reports on the school computer (mine is still off being repaired after it's collision with Thomas the tank engine and friends.) The moon is looking full and wonderful tonight but I'll sit here until at least my quota of five reports are complete. tyhey're taking about an hour each . Oh yeah , What do you want for your birthday ? I know where castle rock is at last, I've looked at the views from their web site so I can envision you there. This is feeling like displacement activity , Best go and do some work so i can retire before midnight Thanks for the pre winter ramble lots of love Dad. |
| 14th November 2005 Struthius | - From: An afternoon of whimsy in the park "I admittedly went to the sidelines to...*ahem*...uh... crochet a hat. :S" What's wrong with needlework? You said so yourself that "Life is shit if you can't knit" :p Ah, today was so LOVELY AND WARM AND SUNNY, NOT A CLOUD IN THE SKY!!!!! *coughcough yes I know I'm a wanker* x Struth |

I put your name and room 45 so it should reach you. Have you seen Kyra yet? Hows about a few words even if you domn't have photos. Your gothic description was fantastic however I've not seen much since then. We're still getting lots of rain which is driving me spare. The school Japanese garden is at last progressing and reports are looming close on the horizon. Next weekend is the Bridgetown Blues and I have a double weekend pass which I won as a door prize at a Tsunami relief concert which I played in early in the year. It will be really strange to be at the Blues and know I'll not be running into you on street corners or doing any gigs or seeing you busk with your friends. I'll say hiya to any of the Wise clan if I cone across them although they won't know me from a bar of soap, we can commiserate on your absence. Kids have started to roll in so i must go noe Love you heaps Dad ( write soon you slacker) |

A MASK!), the identity of the spook will be revealed. i wish u luck! xxxxxxxxfifi |

| 9th October 2005 Ben | Nice, I must say... - From: We Meet AGAIN! Hey Charlie, Great blog, hope your having a great time in sunny scotland. Sounds like its all going pretty well, apart from the loss of camera that is. One of my housemates went to edinburgh and he said you should check out the cathedral. Apparently its rather stunning :p Anyway have a great time. Ben |
| 9th October 2005 tegan | stuff - From: We Meet AGAIN! argh, internet, i hate it, but i just wanted to say hi, and get my name on this thing! am glad you're having fun, and nice beard, by the way. ishka, chad and gal were here for my housewarming last night and say hi, gal wanted to catch up, but i guess no luck there! love t. |

All is well here and I'm colse to finishingcarving my mega bowl. It's a shure fire way to develop RSI in the wrists. The weather's gradually improving, we had a little sunshine today and the atmosphere is warm . Must go Love dad. |
| 4th October 2005 Kate | - From: Och! Hey its kate from thailand, sounds like your having an awesome time, if u ever get to cardiff let me know as im at uni here now and it would cool to see u! |
| 4th October 2005 Faasha | Hmmmm! - From: Och! Helps if I looked at your previous blog. What a bugger. WE NEED YOUR PHOTOS!! It's not that you're a terrible writer or anything but the pics just make it so much more vibrant. HM is one in Britain? Comparable to Oz? I have one knee twice as big as the other at the moment as I dropped a piece of wood on it a couple of days ago and bruised it and this morning it's come up a whopper! Doesn't hurt too much though, just a b it hot. Have been spring cleaning around the yard as we've had some sunny patches. It's good to shift loads of crap which have been laying around mouldering in the weather for years. Have started doing some carving with the chainsaw and also have a kitchen table on the go , made from two burly jarrah slabs. Jasper is go. go .go, and runs km's each dayor pushes the push mower upside down all over the place. B is well and being very creative with recycled costume construction. Oh how I wish I could stay home always!! Take care Lots of love Dad b and Jasper ( PS: when does the festival run?) |
| 4th October 2005 Faasha | where's your camera?? - From: Och! where's your camera?? |

| 3rd October 2005 Lex | yay! - From: Better Job Prospects! wow charlie that is so awesome, do u think this means there may be a new begginnig for double entendre? that job prospect is A LOT better than the nudie houseboy one heehee. anyway good luck and DEFINATLY go for it this is an oppertunity not to e missed! love you and miss you heaps. have fun! Lex |
| 3rd October 2005 Angie and Grace | Do you do requests?? - From: Better Job Prospects! I'd like to hear Bumble Bee on the uke! Great hearing your voice the other day. Sorry it was so early for you... It must be my bad maths skills.... Stay safe. Have fun. Give Lila a 'snog' for me. |
| 3rd October 2005 Struth | - From: Better Job Prospects! DOOOOOOO IT!!!!!!!! And get me & Lucy to fly to London to do a cameo song!!! hehehe. But seriously, Go For It. |
| 2nd October 2005 Faasha | Hmmmm! - From: Better Job Prospects! Well you should keep writing songs anyway no matter what you're doing travelwise. Have you got a double entendre demo on you or do you need one sent on. It would be great for you to get some recording done especially if you can get Ash in on it and /or write some more originals. Still Edinborough tomorrow then? There may be opportunities there as well. Did you get the guy's email or contact details? just to keep in touch or to arrange something for when you've got the fare and a spot of spare cash. If you go tripping off to London, make sure it's not just so he remembers your face but rather have it arranged to put down some tracks and do some creative work otherwise it's a very costly P R visit. I'm sure if you contact him and explain the situation he'll work out something with you. Go for it buddy , but plan it out and discuss it with Ash and Alaya first. Unreal !! |
| 2nd October 2005 Megan | hey - From: Better Job Prospects! Charlie thats really awsome.. you should do it... congratulations :D |
| 2nd October 2005 Graham & Sue | Long way to bring food - From: Better Job Prospects! Hi Charlie, Sounds real good thing, if you and Ash put a band together, and do some more gigs and release an album, will we still have to bring food and sustenance, like the early days at MoJo's. Should I give up work so that Sue and I can be roadies ( I can do the sound checks as I have a degree and can count to two(one two, one two check)), and Megan will be a groupie |

| 28th September 2005 Faasha | Clean the pool. Get the soap . - From: Job Prospects Jasper is in his pool/bath at the moment . I think that busking is a lot more sociable and less exploitativethan your current job offer. Was that via helpex? Why don't you talk to Ash about apple stuff given your vast wealth of experience with the pomme family. We're back from Perth and back in the busom of our home. Ready to do the chores and get the garden planted for spring. MMust go . Try something a little less intimate than beau baby pool cleaner and odd job boy. Lots of love Dad B & JJasper |
| 28th September 2005 Struth | ! - From: Job Prospects "...and not shy at showing off his body." What did I tell ya? EH? ;) What sort of job is it, exactly??? Sounds... interesting...! Guess WHAT!!!

| 25th September 2005 faasha | baseball bat - From: Living on a Mound Well if you're in jeapordy that much you should be carrying a baseball bat and searching for a cat. onversely you could call up Malta Kano who'll surely find you some suitably dark and dank accommodation. See if you can get a copy of Rossini's Thieving Magpie to accompany your reading . It's very appropriate. Enough! Enough! Find some decent digs. I'll ring Em & Ian when I return to Pembyland for an address. In the meantime ask Nornie for Rosemaries address as she & her hubby may be happy to have you. You met them on your 18th birthday remember. They have an organic farm thingie in Wales. I'll ring soon and check your pulse Lots of love Dad ( By the way I'm at Lexerella''s at the moment. ) |

I hope your catchup with Red was not too disabling, though it sounds as though it was. Were Ash and Alaya smart enough to avoid it all? Back here it's coming closer to holiday time with four days to go in the term. Yesterday was close to a real spring day and I got to use my new chainsaw. All the trees are in blossom.

| 6th September 2005 goosepie | - From: The Four Yorkshiremen hey- these are some fantastic pictures! (graverobber- very sexy indeed) |
| 6th September 2005 Struth | Lovely photos! - From: The Four Yorkshiremen Lila against the green tree is a winner. And you and Benny make quite... interesting models. Heh heh heh. But you need a hell slow shutter speed and someone walking past & a leather jacket to make it look like the cover of Revolver... :) Struthius |
| 6th September 2005 JEN6882@aol.com | Interesting - From: The Four Yorkshiremen I was browsing the web, preparing for my study abroad trip to Middlesex University in London and stumbled upon this blogging site. I just wanted to let you know that I have found your blogs to be the most fun to read. The pictures of your friends and you and comments remind me a lot of some of my friends at good ol' Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. |
| 5th September 2005 Nic | So Jealous! - From: The Four Yorkshiremen Hey Charlie - I'm just sitting here writing a paper (yeah - already) and I can't believe it was only a few months ago we were roomies in Phi Phi. Sounds like you're having a blast, wish I could be there! |
| 3rd September 2005 ash | malllllllllllllllll - From: Lila! guitar stolen equalls nee d mal !!!! hey charlie when you come to austria can l you bring my mal baby as i have had a whole 2 weeks without the sweet sounds of music p.s catch the bus or train to bled in slovenija on wed to meet us . cant wait to see ya man ash |
| 2nd September 2005 LUCE | - From: Lila! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRAY! |
| 2nd September 2005 Faasha | Austria did you leave out a letter or two? - From: Lila! Wow what a cheapo fare! Do you have to travel in an unpressurised undercarriage or something? Just think, with prices like that you should be able to get an around the world twice trip for what it cost you to collect Lila. Have you contacted any of the Brugglers in Aus or Aus to see if there is any accommodation on offer? Did you realise that the cost of living in Austria is one of the highest in Europe? I hope you are able to get some work soon as your forays into the broader Europe will prove quite costly . Will ring soon Love Dad |
| 1st September 2005 Norn | - From: Lila! Hi Lila, I was wondering where you were. Glad to hear you're not lost in the jungle of SE Asia. Look after Charlie |
| 31st August 2005 Struth | ! - From: Splendid weather, old chap! £2.50! That is approximately how much in AUD$? (can't be bothered finding the exhange website...) |
| 30th August 2005 faasha | Em's Folks address - From: I'm-a goin fishin too! Hi Chaz, good to see you can fend for yourself in the wilds of Britain. Spears and loin- cloths next. Take heed of you wise and worldly cousin, you don't want parts growing shrinking or falling off in years to come because of some biochemist's oversight. |
| 29th August 2005 your grandmother | - From: I'm-a goin fishin too! You CANT be serious about being a medical guinea pig!!! |
| 28th August 2005 Struth | - From: I'm-a goin fishin too! "WHAT IS WITH THIS CHEESY LOPSIDED SMILE OF MINE!?!?!??? aghhh!" Don't worry m'dear, you have a darling smile, it does you proud. heh. |
| 28th August 2005 Vik | welcome to UK (ele) - From: I'm-a goin fishin too! hey dude Will have a place for you to stay in Swindon for a while by 12th Sept (new job)if u want.Not exactly the most historical town but.... XX |
| 28th August 2005 Kyra | did you hear the one about the hairy forehead? - From: I'm-a goin fishin too! Yes, a cautionary tale about lucrative sounding 'medical trials'. I think the hairy forehead says it all. You think you hate shaving now?? There was a time when I also considered such desperate measures... Still, I guess it's something to tell the grandkids (the three-eyed hairy-foreheaded ones, that is)! Anyway, I am really enjoying your blog and the attendant fotays, keep em up lad, keep enjoying yourself and most importantly, remember the dignity inherent in being an impoverished artist! love kyra |
| 26th August 2005 Lex | - From: I'm in London. Still. (as in not moving!

| 25th August 2005 Faasha | One perfect day - From: Oxfordshire... splendid! It's a perfect day here, cool ,misty, sunny with a hint of spring. I suppose you will feel the portents of autumn creeping in . Oxfordshire looks very "English'. It's really kind of Benny's folks to hgave you . Hope you're washing dishes, mowing the lawn and generally being helpful (ie not leaving your beer bottles in the lounge or undies in the shower, ( joke!) ) Any chances of work yet? Our Japanese garden at school resembles a clay pit at present with everthing waterlogged from rains and holes for ponds and rocks filled with muddy rainwater. Kids are herenow ( i"m in my classroom , must go ! love Dad |
| 25th August 2005 ;lucc | - From: I'm in London. Still. (as in not moving! Woohoo!) HAH! I NEVER KNEW LONDON HAD SQUIRLS! |

I still don't know if I should send emails or comments. Gail will be in UK in about a week. Hope she can catch up with you, even if its just on the phone.lots of love from OZ |

Take care and enjoy English Beer,chips and good old english weather. Good Luck job hunting Sue Graham & Megs |
| 19th August 2005 B (Dad and J) | Get to a hospital - From: You should always know where your Tao is Your Dad is at school umpiring a Hockey carnival and got a call from Nornie who told him aboout your injury. Your dad asked me to write and pass on a few words. 1. Coral cuts - very fast infection. Spreads and grows quickly. Keeps growing inside you. 2. Have you got nodes in your groin area? 3. You will most likely need antibiotics. 4. Travel insurance should cover everything. Get RECEIPTS and get policy details from your mum. 5. You should probably shift closer to where you can get treatment. 6. You need more than just topical treatment, probably antibiotics, a cream will just get rid of the surface infection, but not the one growing inside you. 7. If you stay where you are and become imobile life will be very difficult and you may miss your plane. Move to a place where you are able to get help. 8. Do not just ignore it, go and do something about it before it gets even worse. 9. If you get a chance, call. Reverse charges if your mobile is still out of action. 10. Listen to the voice of reason and experience!! Hope you get this message soon. Love B |
| 18th August 2005 norn | - From: You should always know where your Tao is ive sent you an email re your injury. let me know if it hasn't arrived, and I'll send it in the comments section. |

| 14th August 2005 Jasper, B & Dad | We're all watching - From: Last Night in the Land of a Million Elephants Jasper is sitting here at the moment scrutinizing all the photos, pointing out which one is Charlie (he sometimes gets it right too!) He'll think you are just a disembodied computer body by the end of 2 years who lives in our "puta"! The brewery here is getting their bottling line at the end of the month. greg has bought over some samples for us to try , very fine ale indeed. Jasper is crawling across the table to comment rrroijrioriorrrrrrrrrrrrwmledmfdmfdmfmf,f. Which means.. thats charlie in the boat .. MYturn now HE SAYS aGain ,l,mzzm f/C "/;fc;;;;;dcdsdccdddc/cd'dcddsdsdssddsxssxn I think he's swearing about CD's and now he says nigh nigh! Whew! Weather has been miserable all weekend and our bamboo has been blown down again. Are you in BK or elsewhere. When do you fly out? Where & when do you arrive in UK? Do you answer any questions that we ask?ie do you know where Baz's firewire is ???? etc Bye for now, love all |

| 9th August 2005 Faasha | A good place or a mal area - From: Short stop in the capital of nowhere Sorry about the bad pun but your mum & I conferred and agreed that it's not worth ruining a great adventure for the cost of a mozzie net and a tube of insect repellent. Please take care , you're not mozzie proof. I'm in the thick of it at school. The mornings have been cold and misty lately and there are cows billowing foggy breath next door . Jasper & B are well and the verandah is at about two thirds done. Lao looks so wonderful , I'd love to see the Meekong and sample the caves. Must Go , got some class visitors. Lots of love Dad B & Jasper |
| 7th August 2005 Norn | - From: Short stop in the capital of nowhere gosh Charlie, its starting to sound a bit hairy!. beware the typhoon season specially near rivers and the like. it starts about now, in fact its already hit China. Gail has won another literary award, the rate you're going you'll be writing travel docos. heaps of love from us both. |
| 5th August 2005 luce | - From: So much for Good ol lonely! that flute picture is so beautiful |
| 5th August 2005 jesse | shit hot - From: So much for Good ol lonely! Hey chaz, how are ya mate. Im so glad to see that you are getting around SE asia. It looks so good over there, I think my next trip will have something to do with that area. Are you heading over to India? if so dont do a treck anytime after september, no matter how "warm" the tourguides tell you it will be. Im back at uni looking for a job, a house, and a bit of sanity, not exactly in that order! But so far havent come close to any. Have a great trip....stupid thing to say! Peace man Jesse |
| 3rd August 2005 Dad B & Jasper | How is Lao Now? - From: Picture yourself on a boat on the Mekong Hi Chaz, I don't know if the last comments went on so I'll say hiya now. The weather is still very wintry and wet. School goes on and on. I'm sure holidays are somewhere out there. Jasper is sitting beside me drinking his milk and I've just been informed the fire's gone out ( again!) There are great caves in Lao if you get there. Are you keepingt to your budget? Wwoofing yet . I realise you're pre probably out of range on the technology stakes. Jasper's hitting me on the head with keys at the moment so I think I'd better go Lots of love Dad B and Jasper |
| 1st August 2005 Nicole (ex-roomie) | SO jealous! - From: Picture yourself on a boat on the Mekong I am getting all nostalgic reading of your adventures in Laos, I wish I could go back! Instead I'm waiting for it to be airport time - thats right, I'm going home. Have a blast, down some Supertiger whiskey for me (Smooth and Mellon!), and you rock out on your ukelele (remember hangman?)! Don't forget your Phi Phi roots! Nic |
| 1st August 2005 ash and alaya | hey anus..!!!1 - From: Picture yourself on a boat on the Mekong hey man, sounds like your having a blast!!! were over herei in portugal at the moment and about to head back into spain and then morroco. wissh you were here or i was there!!! take care and hope to catch up soon in another weird and wonderful country love ash and alaya (specially ash this is me typing) |

| 1st August 2005 luce | ahaha - From: Picture yourself on a boat on the Mekong wow! this little boss guy sounds like he really knows the whole shebang of things! I am doing canoeing at schewl at the moment, havent gotten as far as rapids yet. all weve done is cooked some two mintue noodles on a camp stove. and so,I be adventurous too! |
| 1st August 2005 Dad B & Jasper | with tangerine beers and footy pass pies - From: Picture yourself on a boat on the Mekong I don't know if the last comments went in as it all dissappeared on me and a new box arrived. Jasper is now not hanging over my arms making typing near impossigle , he's carrying on a monologue with his duplo animals ans making tractor sound effects. A storm is coming in with freight train winds roueing through the karri's on the hill. B is still at school and Jasper & I have done some mowing, and seiving of sand together. The Meekong looks intgeresting. I'd love to go canoeing on it for a month or two to sample some of its wonders.What kind of wwoofing is it in Vien Tien ? Is it an orchard, homestay ? I'm not so sure Laos is highly technological as you say , probably more that they get hooked into the same commodity markets as we do. I'm glad you got there safely. Jasper has just climbed back on my lap and has a certain pong, so must go for now. Lots of love Dad , B & Jasper |
| 1st August 2005 Norn | - From: Apocalypse Laos Great photos Charlie. Like the Tshirt snap. Good luck in Laos. Sounds like you'll be on the move a bit. Pop Art and I are well. Thinking of you every day. keep taking care. Nornie |
| 27th July 2005 Norn | - From: And Now... To Laos! (that rhymes, ok? it's pronounced "Low"!!) Glad to get your latest message, Charlie. Your pics are great. When I travelled back home a couple of weeks ago, i met a couple between Kuala lumpur and perth who had been travelling through Asia for some time. They said they liked Laos best. It sounds like an interesting place. I look forward to your journal and pass on your news to Gail in the US. Try to keep in touch with either your dad or me whenever you can and let us know when we can reach you on your mobile. I tried to call a couple of times without success. Stay well and take care. We love you and miss you...Nornie and Pop Art |
| 27th July 2005 Faasha | Lao has definitely got communication technology - From: And Now... To Laos! (that rhymes, ok? it's pronounced "Low"!!) Hi Chaz, Good to hear from you once more. You should try using the info pages on travelblog. there are numerous entries from Laos and the people travelling there, using travelblog just like you. So there is no excuse for not keeping us iinformed of your adventures. More photos are better, but please put your shirt ON when you are out in the sun and when you are in photos. (Pasty, white chests get sunburnt easily). Good to hear you're enjoying lots of different experinces. We spent 2 days digging up bamboo from a house in Manji for the school garden (and some for us). It is already about 6m tall and looks great. Physically exhausting though. Getting in shape for when we go woofing and I have to do manual work again. Will you still have the same mobile phone? (yes, you do get coverage in some places in Lao - we checked!) Love Dad, B, Jasper |
| 27th July 2005 Struthie | Ooooohhhh! - From: And Now... To Laos! (that rhymes, ok? it's pronounced "Low"!!) Gorgeous girl, eh?? OOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!! Tell all, tell all! CHARLIE AND *insert name here* SITTIN' IN A TREE, KAY-EYE-ESS-ESS... :p |

| 20th July 2005 norn | - From: Motorbikes are fun i read your journal every day, Charlie, but I must have missed a couple of things. What happened to the wise ukelele? or is it too painful to say? Just remember what your grandmother said about riding motor bikes and take care! you did get travel insurance, didn't you. Don't let my comments put you off giving us all the gory details of your trip though. We want a warts and all account. Are you able to keep up to date with world news through the internet. if not, let me know and I'll keep you posted on world events. - Remember? the world outside the tropical paradise. heaps of love |
| 20th July 2005 Dad B & Jasper | Good to hear from you and see the piccies. - From: Another fortnight, another tropical paradise... *sigh* It's rrraaaaiiiiinnning again, it is cold and miserable and school suxxxx. Not at all jealous of you. Had enough of school after only 2 days back. Jasper keeping us up for 2 hours in the night may be infuencing our perceptions somewhat......actually nah - not at all. We need to get out of here. Thanks for the photos, they are just what we needed. They are an inspiration and a motivator. Jasper is looking at the photo's rught now and saying Charlie, Charlie over and over and over in a growly voice. More photos would be great, or more words if you feel so inclined and can drag yourself away from your special Welsh friend. Lots of love B, Dad and Jasper |
| 19th July 2005 norn | - From: Another fortnight, another tropical paradise... *sigh* Hi Charlie, glad to hear from you again. Yes. I was a bit concerned when there was no news from you for about a week.Sounds like you're having a whale of a time and meeting lots a people. Pop Art and I will have a few days in albany on the weekend. Gail is now in the USof A. Love always |
| 19th July 2005 Ellie | - From: Another fortnight, another tropical paradise... *sigh* Your stories are the highlight of my day Charlie, I'm so bloody proud of you, and so ridiculously happy for you (ok, and just a tad envious!). I'm so glad for the invent of modern technology just so you can keep in touch with all exciting and interesting people you must be meeting on your journey. Keep sharing the love. Ellie xx |
