Hi darling Mikey. Well you did it. Well done. Sad to hear of the cold iced feet. That won't be a problem for you when you get back to Bris. You have certainly experienced some of the wonders of the world, extraordinary. Yes, Horne did beat Mundine. A knockout in the 1st round. Lots of v cross people. Bennet has been sacked by Broncos. See, nothing much changes. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Big hugs. Love from us. xxxx

Great stuff! Keep it happening. I agree with the Deli Lama...besides no point rushing it if you want to absorb the beauty of the place;-) Were the penguins on a rock?... just wondering .. We begin the long road north tomorrow. PapaD in good form. He's a real asset in his wheelchair.. we get to go to the front of the queue. ..he thinks it's very funny! Horn and Mundine face off tonight down the street from Heusseler Tce; bushfires raging in north Qld, Sydney got flooded a couple of days ago; cyclone brewing near Solomon Islands: so business as usual... enjoy the tranquility of the great southern ice mass! Big hugs to you both.

Hiya! Wedding was great fun - Beth came down the aisle to the Death March from Star Wars, I was dressed in the same gear (khakis, white shirt, blue jacket) as your dad, Pete's back yard was awesome with llamas and a tractor, and a good time was had by all! We're off to fastback the Cradle Mountain run over 2 days (35/45km), and forecast for snow so we'll be thinking of you! T20: not much of a game in the end... Australia won by eight wickets with almost 5 overs to spare: England 105 (19.4 overs): Wyatt 43, Gardner 3-22, Wareham 2-11 Australia 106-2 (15.1 overs): Gardner 33*, Lanning 28*, Ecclestone 1-12 Victorian election was a surprisingly big win for Labor. From the ABC: Victorians have "rejected the low road of fear and division" by voting Labor back into government, Premier Daniel Andrews says, as the Liberal-National Opposition wonders where it all went wrong in a state election some have described as a bloodbath. Mr Andrews said Victorians had re-elected "the most progressive government in the nation". The Opposition Leader conceded it was a "stunning" night for Labor. ABC election analyst Antony Green declared a Labor win within 90 minutes of counting getting underway. At 9:00am (AEDT), the ABC's election computer was showing a 4.8 per cent swing to Labor, and forecasting 55 seats were likely to go its way in the 88-seat Lower House. Meantime: enjoy the carrot cake and good luck!!! Big hugs to you both
