The best firefighters in the world ...
Thank heavens we have them ... Have been watching your temperatures since before Christmas and the extreme weather conditions you have been having whilst we have been having a much milder Christmas/New Year season on this side and then the Big Wet. Tragic times for the people of Yarloop and Waroona and surrounding areas but thankfully, are in the best possible hands to help fight the foe. Like the Phoenix, the towns will rise again from the flames and, many will start over again - that's the Aussie spirit. Take care you guys and be ready to go if necessary. J xxx

Felicitations
Hi Andy & Caroline, Was great to meet you this year when we were in Perth for a court case and to visit Cindy (littlewing). We wish you peace, prosperity and good health and thank you for your friendship. Hope we can return to your part of Western Oz in the not too distant future. Have a blast and best wishes from David & Denise in Sydney.

Merry Christmas to you also!
Have a wonderful holiday season and wishing you great adventures in the coming year.

Bah! Humbug!
How disappointing Andy, that you didn't get to soar ... but, at least you can take solace in the fact that your donation will go to a good cause. I am always amused by the fact that we now seem to live in an age when everything seems to have to have a fancy, schmanchy name these days, which often leaves you wondering just what it actually means or what it is that someone really does when their "official" title on their business card really doesn't give you any inkling as to what it is they actually do. :) Back in the "old days" it would just have been a gliding club and everybody knew what that meant, but today, it's a soaring society. Guess it's not too hard to make the same connection in this case but, guess I'm just old school and work on the principle of calling a spade a spade, then everybody knows what's going on. :) Sounds like you had a great time anyway even though you didn't get to soar with eagles. :) Love & hugs, J xxx

Man v Machine ...
Hi KJ, We so miss you guys over here. The thought that you were only 3 hours drive away when in Canberra and we could visit anytime we wanted was a good feeling, to now being more than 3 days away (and then some) is not quite the same. Not that we would drive but, you get my drift. :) Must Skype again soon as we miss your smiling faces. :) Once again, congrats Andy, on your weight loss. Yeah ... not eating will do it. :) Anyway, good luck in your further pursuit and a happy cardiologist on the 30th. :) All fine here. Jen's off globetrotting again for the next couple of weeks - business and pleasure. Love you guys. Jan xxx

Go!! muscles ....
Congratulations Andy, on a job well done and, and I don't mean just the working bee and rock-laying. The loss of 22 kgs is a cause for celebration too. Well done!! But, keep this up and you'll blow away in the next stiff breeze. :) 33 deg here today after lots of rain and some lovely, more civilised, cooler temperatures this last week. Now back to the heat again (groan!). 38 deg tomorrow and 39 deg on Friday. Thanks for sending YOUR hot weather over. Roll on winter!! :) Lots of love to both. J & T xx

congratulations
It was great to meet you guys and I hope if your in SA I would love to catch up

Biting off more than we could chew
And what an adventure it has been - covered everything - not just in the travel sense. Appendix, strokes, hernias, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays etc. etc. etc.

Lucky 7
Hi. Congratulations on your 7th anniversary. Of course you made the absolutely best decision to go to Australia. Better yet, keeping us 'wannbes' enthralled with your adventures. Keep up the great blogs, please. We are getting our first snow and temps of -4C, so winter is on the way.

Seven Years Ago!
This really took me back in time...and made me go back and reread some of those first blogs. What good times you have had and wonderful adventures. I can't wait for what comes next...big plans I hope.
