Hi all Chris back again.
Thanks for post Barb have been going to ring but wanted to give you a chance to settle in first good to get a bit of an update.
The weather has been trying but apparently Twizel takes the prize no sun for 2 weeks ,fogs and hoar frosts yuk!
Real sad about Marks mother.
Last mon I spent a few hours researching Sydney for March. Found an apartment in Darling Harbour which could fit the bill for us. The flights are a bit nutty (eg I found a good time for leaving sydney but goes via brisbane) Am after economical (ish) direct flights that leave in afternoon. Maybe too early for deals yet.
Anyway has made it all a bit more exciting.

Went to my friends 50th on sat had Chocolate Martinis sounded awful but was real yum. Great food but with the sport on all night no music. The netball was good though.

Glad to hear you are into skiing Jeff hopefully your cuz will get onto it soon.

Went to the movie Paris J'Taime very odd but rather cool apparently a must see for all you who have holidayed there.

Went to see pats surgeon last week, was interesting, he is a facial plastic surgeon so went into depth about the procedure and how he intends to achieve good results. will probably come up in october which isnt bad timing as soccer finished and water skiing not started.

His soccer was great on sat they lost 8-6 high entertainment game looked like mud wrestlers at the end.
then went to see Steves sister and ran into her mates just back from their trip mostly small villages more communist bloc countries Poland,Austria , Croatia etc sounds great.

Better go prise the girl out of bed for our bi-weekly exercise class.
bye
