Rego
$652, for how long? Seems like a lot of money. Or does that include insurance?

Sapphire and Steel
May not be an exciting day for you but it would be just my kind of day. No sheep in site and plenty of rain and plenty of time to sit around and contemplate my navel. Kimba had 5 puppies on Saturday. 4 males and 1 female. Two plain black like Wally (so we think that Wally must have sneaked in when we weren't watching) two black and brown and one brown. I took some photos (not very good) when they were a day old so will email them. Kimba is very protective for the first couple of days so it is a bit hard to get a good look. She actually had 6 but one was stillborn. They are like little squirming sausages that make the funniest noises. Would love to come to Cairns but I don't think that Caroline,Andy, Wendy and Tiddles would like going without their feeds. Love, Helen

Skinks, dogs and all that
Hiya.......Caroline you look very beautiful as always.....we do miss you with your always smiling face and your zest for life, We are very happy to see you so happy though.......so many contestants on Deal or No Deal are after winning money to go to Australia....we don't blame them. one contestant wanted enough money for her, her partner and her cat to go and live in OZ.....joyfully she won enough with a bit left over..It is great that you found someone to bring your DVD's back to Chandler's Ford....the world is becoming a very small place! We will be delighted to collect them from Ruth's parents. We are suffering at the moment, won't explain how but you will guess.....it is all very well this five fruits and veg per day, but we have a glut of tomatoes and apples at the moment.....delicious made into various dishes, but our tums are not happy!!! Dad has finished pickling all the beetroot..happily did not allow the pressure cooker to blow like he did when I was working and I came home to find the kitchen sprayed red, with a red spotted ceiling. Another young chap at this moment has taken £25 thousand offered so he will be buying his ticket to OZ. From your blogs it seems that there is plenty of space there. Love you...take care Mum and Dad xxx

The Black Box
Hi Andy and Caroline If you switch the black box on again today (Saturday) you'll be able to catch some old editions of "The Bill". That should cure any addiction! Did you catch any of the Cairns Festival?

Good books
Hey Caroline have read a couple of Nora Roberts books myself and quite enjoyed them. She has written loads of books and also goes by the name of J.D. Robb so shouldn't be too hard to find a few more. She has also written a few trilogies so keep an eye out for them. Your namesakes are very very cute!! Bottle feeding lambs was part of my gorwing up and now my sister does it with her kids. They have baby chickens at the moment so maybe I could convince the kids to call one Kangaroo and one Jack - you never know. Enjoy your house and your TV - there is so much trash you could watch all day long. Take care talk to you soon Jode xx

Where is the platypus!
Sorry no platypus, hope you managed the Nandroya walk from henrietta creek, two lots of falls. One smaller one is part of the track. I love it. Good for a chilly swim. I am pretty sure that red cedar actually fell down during the cyclone, the area was pretty well trashed so nice to see the rainforest getting dense again.

Anniversay
A little belated but hope you had a wonderful day. Have sent some photos via email to Andy's email address. Home that you get them. I'm a bit technologically challenged when it comes to those sorts of things. Keep enjoying, Love Helen

anniversary
Hello Andy and Caroline, we wish you a happy anniversary for tuesday. Have a nice day! Love Chris and Willemien xx

Australia
Caroline and Andy, Sarah and Darryl / are touring Australia in summer apparel The days very hot but the nights can be cold, To escape from wet England with tents to unroll Darryl and Sarah, Caroline and Andy Met outside Cairns, by gosh that was handy From possums to spiders and snakes, oh! be wary Kangaroos and koalas and the odd cassowary The wedge tailed eagles on road kill they spy with camera in hands, then off they do fly! Their blogs are amazing and photos give cheer We hear they've been fossiking, then stop for a beer The gems that they found they took to the shop No fortunes here, so it's no time to stop They swim in the lakes and also the pools Watch out for crocodiles as they are no fools! The water is cold which cools them all down So back to the campsite then a trip into town Reticulated campsites they think are a must but, oh dear when they get there "There's no room for us!" A lamb roast for tea with veggies and dampers The camp fire is lit so off with their jumpers The oven is placed on the embers that glow And in no time at all the food is a "Wow" With no light pollution, in the blackness of night Their stargazing is perfect, they exclaim with delight An inter planetary walk would be just the thing so next time they come a telescope will they bring So, Sarah and Darryl and Caroline and Andy A good time they've had, no need to be dandy With kisses and hugs they go separate ways And promised to meet up one of these days ********************************************

THE train!
Ok, so it did look as good in the flesh as it did in the brochure!! We can just about make out the Cassowary driver and the guard at the back!! We've had a good day today, we're camped in Karumba and we've talked about you guys a few times in fact if we were staying for the camp fire sing-a-round tomorrow we were going to give them some good old bush poetry....yours!!! Missing you already, hope Undara is good. Speak to you soon Wallaby Wanderers aka Darryl and Sarah x x x x
