Glad Mama used the hat, most gratifying after carrying it round everywhere!!!!!!

I’ll wait on the claim thing, mahaps send the things from singapore or New Zealand. as i can’t actually claim fron here i shouldn’t need them. No idea why i brought them in the first place. My bag is bursting with useless photocopies!

Will purchase another, malay hat so that you can have one each, and laughing at each other should eleviate the bordom of the quiet homestead!

Thanks for the mail mama, sounds like the weather is pretty nice at home at the mo. I am drinking some wierd pink stuff from the market. The lady mumbled ‘soya’ i think, but it doesn’t tast like it to me – interesting!!!

Love tanya

PS Geoff says all insurance companies are thieving scoundrels!!

Did you all get Mama’s ‘hat’ email? I had trouble sending it.

That was a fun leech story, Tan!

I should wait on the claim front.

It looks like SARS is a thing of the past: just as well you didn’t abandon SEA, as I suggested!!!!!!! Keep your mask, just in case. You can always donate it to Liv for pollen protection.

A few more photos.

It looks like Mama has crept into the tp one; or someone has borrowed her Tahitian shorts.

annika on the right, caroline on the far right, dipti on the left and our vast catch of fish in the centre. now that you mention it dipti’s shorts did remind me of something.

thrane isrealis. hanet in the center is the one i know quite well, she was very nice. that is the jolly coke machine at hone heke and beyond is the microscopic kitchen.

aha! guto, the funiest brazilian i have ever met. his classy turn of frase endeared him to one and all

from left to right takoya of beach misadventure fame, sam son of shane, and some guy i don’t recall the name of.

What a disgrace!!! I might just write a complaining e-mail to the bloke who sorted it saying that i am most displeased!!!!

What should i do? Se4nd you the stuff or else keep it and then do it when i get bach (when the policy will have run out, and they will probable say they can’t deal with it any more!!!

I got your claim back, Tan. They want originals of your Travel Booking Invoice, Invoice showing premium paid and Insurance Master Certificate. Photocopies won’t do, even for £33!

I assume you have the originals. Anyway, I phoned them and confirmed that the claim could be finalised any time so if the originals are with you you can deal with it later.

Or are they with me?

Also, they require written authorisation from you giving consent for another person to deal with the claim on your behalf. An ordinary Power of Attorney doesn’t look to be enough.

Anyone would think this was a claim for many hundreds of thousands, blast them …

If it’s Flight SQ286, it leaves Auckland at 1415 and arrives in Singapore at 2045.

poor moggies i say!

gone of the wwoofing as i have only six or so days left. i need to get an itinary from somewere but my flight leaves at 2.15 so it is likly that it will arive in singapore at about 2 in the morning which sounds nice
