hmm, yes, indeed they are your flip-flops. I couldn’t find mine so I thought I’d give ninja style ones a go. They were so thin that they were not really that comfortable, so rest assured that i won’t be borrowing them again;-)

cheers for the photos! keep them coming.

are sharing your room(s), or can you call that space you own?

han and I went to see the new Indy film too, though in slightly less glamourous circumstances, at the picturedrome in Bognor! I enjoyed the film and thought it to be a bit silly (but then all indy films are), but good fun. I think I’d rank it slightly below temple of doom. 1,3,2,4

I was informed by a reliable source (Dick Francis) that all female names in Japan ended with ‘oko’ -?
How do they carry their babies in Japan? is there some sort of handy sling that I can purchase via you? seeing as I’ve got a good collection going! And do you actually want a birthday prezzie? if so post your address!!

hail! thank you for you letter mama! it painted a nice picture of home! 🙂 as requested i have uploaded a bunch of pictures mostly of my grinning visage. went to the premier of the latest indiana jones film last night. it was really fun. the film itself was good but not great, however the ceremony was interesting. and it was very cool to see harrison ford in the flesh. slightly less interesting to see the jowley george lucas but still.

These are both of Lily in an unusual resting state. She is normally to be found leaping, running or climbing, but due to poor lighting conditions, i didn’t get any good shots!
