hail all,
yes i know it won’t let you in as they locked me out and have changed the pass number or whatever it’s called . those are all the new details! cor blimey i say!
we are in punakaiki at the mo having a gander at the pankack rocks – most interestinh, and though the blo whole in the rocks was on strike, it was interesting to see non the less. the skies are not exactly blue, but it’s nice and warm so nice to walk along the beach. the beaches here are not asd nice as te ones up north, but they are still good for walks. not long left now, and we have had to plan a timed rout round the rest of the island, we are going to do a weeks wwoofing at a farm with horses!!!! in barrytown. hopefully it will work out. we have enough money to see us round without working thank goodness as the only jobs available are cruddy, and you earn such a pittence that we might as well wwoof, save money and hopefull have a good time as well! Not much reception on the mobile around here so that’s why no texts. i will send a text with the phone number of where we are staying if you need it – hopefull i will be able to use their phone and you could phone on mama’s birthday – i’ll let you know. we saw the england v samoa game, abd quite frankly, samoa should have won i say! oh well, it will be most satifying to squelch wales!!!
geoff is planning a few more walks, and stops the car at every possible strolling spot -oh well, good foir one i suppose, and the scenery round ehre is great. oh yes,the whole point of this mail was to tell you how festering the sandflies are around here. the guide book makes them sound like a small anoyence that is easily forgottewn as they only bite round the ankle. admittedly they do bite round the ankle, buthey bite every where else as well, leaving nasty red blobs that itch for days after – insanelly so that you HAVE to itch them. they are every where, and even the rain doesn’t deter them for long. after a quick look at the scenery ata stop we them dive back into good old gertie and cower int the seats, the windows open just a crack to let some healing air in. we wantch the cblack cloud of the pests buzzing round the window until well after dark when they do leg it, allowing us to open the windown for some much neared breathing. they are back before you know it at the crack of dawn, and if you don’t have your whits about you, and shut the windows quick smart, then you are covered with black bitter, and the car is full of them. in cases like this, i give geof a good battering for not chutting the windows, and then go around squirting masses of citronella at them!@!! much fun i can tell you!
geoff’s head is still asource of much a musment, though his hair is growing back fast. mine is rather long and plush though i say so myself!!! blonding up nicely in the sun!well, just remember those are the new detailes that i gave you, and there should be a letter in the post telling you the new number. the bit of my details i forgot was the date. not exactly forgot, but didn’t realise it was 1999, and not just 99!!!!!!! goeff has no idea what his date is as they have just changed the log in system (didn’t need the date before )!!!! got that?? not sure how much money i do have, but would be most obliged if you would plop a few hundred inand help yourself from mine at a later date as we are now using the funds from my account having already used all geoffs!!! i was hoping we wouldn’t have to use mine at all!!! hihihihi!

cheers
love T
