Phip's Guestbook

Hey Flipper, you look fantastic. No orange spray tan for you! Your blogs have been so much fun to read - I will miss them. Will catch up when you start you new job.

Phip, looks like you have had fun, looking forward to having you home enjoy your last week Roz xx

12 September
I know how black you get in the sun, but even I am suprised at how brown you are!! You look like a local, especially next to Bec. What a fun place - I bet you are going to miss your lunch packets everyday!

I'll come back with you next time! I'd love to have seen those baby elephants at the orphanage. You will have a tough time settling back into 'Western' life again when you return. Savour the rest of the time you have there...you don't know how long it will take before you can return.

i envy you wit the elephants bring me one baby elephant home.. i tried when i was in africa

lions and tigers
Great pics Can see you have quite a 'tan', but a good idea would be to lay off the lion!

hi philippa. sounds as if you are having a fantastic time...i envy you. photos are great. try and have a chat to the japanese monk one day. he may take you up to the temple for a visit. anthony said you were going to singapore for a few days while renewing your visa. are you still going to india on your way home. great place. try not to miss it. tom and anthony have both been very ill with flu. dr said if they feel nauseaus (is that the correct spelling...doesnt look right but i am not getting up to check it out) to contact him immediately so i guess thats one of the symptoms of swine flu. we had 2 weeks in the van down the south coast...not too cold but not sunny either! we called into copa on the way home for a couple of days. found a c/van park 5 mins way. the only have 4 sites but full of cabins and permanents. on the round road. very nice tho with excellent ameneties and a swimming pool. could walk into avoca...me that is not jf. tom and john went fishing one morning and anthony and john went fishing one evening after work. both got wet from rain as well as the sea. caught one fish but let it go. still very cold here..altho sun is just coming out. 2 to 15 degrees forcast for today. take care love carol

Well, it seems so many people I know are off gallavanting around the world and I am still here in Sydney. Bernard (Louise Petchell's widower) is currently in Santiago doing some conference thing and then travelling around the world a bit from there...I believe he's hitting Spain and England after Chile. And you are in SL being attacked by bugs! Oh well. Sydney had it's warmest July day in 19 years on Wednesday - 25.5C! It was so beautiful...and even more special to be getting such a sunny treat right in the middle of winter. I'm so glad I was on school holidays to enjoy it. Holidays are almost over though...back to work on Monday...spewing! Hey Phip, can you get a photo of the fireflies? I would love to see them in action....I've never seen one...not even on TV! I might 'youtube' them in a second and see if I can see some! That's it from me. Keep blogging so I can live vicariously through you!
