Better than a postcard!
Hey mate - glad you're having a good time! Missing you back here. Loving the updates so keep them coming! God, that Soklina's a pretty little girl isn't she. It's lovely to see you getting on so well with all the kids, I bet they think you're great fun! Funny to see you wearing a 'Slackers' T-Shirt with a bunch of kids too ;o) Would be apt in this country but I bet they work hard there. Not sure if I should have found the "Balloon Day" picture so funny... reminded me of something but I can't put my finger on what it is (not in public anyway!). Wish it was 40deg here bud, I've been out buying a new heater for our living room it's been so cold! Keep sending those updates fella and have a beer for me and Em.

Great to hear from you...
It was worth the wait then! You seem to be settling in really well and having a great time with the kids. Superb photos as usual. I particularly like the ones of the market; they give a real feel for the place. I bet the smell was something else! Talk to you soon - Harry
