Hello all,

Happy anniversary to Mama and Dod. Hope you had a good day…not too much excitement I hope!!

Bet you are glad the exams are done and dusted Liv. Take it from me though, you never really see the back of them. Just when you think that you’ve left them behind for good, they come back and bite you!!! The big question is: are you going to join the desmond club like myself and your sister?

Jul: How’s the boiling mud???
See you somewhere near Singapore. We’ll tell you where when we’ve had the chance to consult our bible.

Geoff

Sounds like it could be any of those things, and we are leaving thailand in a few days so hopfully it will go. On Koh Phan Nang at the moment. really nice and quiet and we are just relaxing for a couple of day in a small bungalow on stilts serounded by greenery and overlooking the beach. Most realaxing, especially as i have just bought myself a hamock and have stung it up so that ot gets shade and breeze!!!!!

Tanya

PS will get apis as soon as i find someone who has it.

I did think of doing that no food thing you did do, and then intriducing little by little to see if it wa somthing i’m eating, but as there is little avriety here, and the same spices go into everything, it seemed very hard to introduce one thing ata time. Maybe it’s fermented fish sauce, which i think they put in everything! COR BLIMEY I sey!!!!!!!!

well hail all,

I spoke too soon on the subject of the old swellings. They appeared again last night with a vengence!!! Curse all biting insects i say. The antyhistamines seem to be keeping them at bey. I thought they weren’t doing anything, but geoff suggested that they were stopping thwem from getting any worse! The joys i say!!! I will take the last doxis as have onlt ten left so might as well as it is not them i am allergic to! Took a picture of swelling on arm and leg to show you all – bet you can’t wait! If they have not gone by the time we get to bali, then i am going to get one of those allergy test things in OZ or NZ to see exactly what it is. Geof had one and found he was allergic to house dust!! Most useful.No ned to woryy thogu as they don’t get bigger than a small plate. Whats tyhis about jul’s flights??? What is going on in that area? Are you still coming to bali with us or not sure now??? WEll, we were going to go to the other side of the island but decided against it and stayed here. Hellishly hot and humid. Freely sweating in the shade. Getting a ltitle fed o the hot weather now and dreaming of the cooler times in NZ.

Glad to hear you celebrated in the appropriate and approved manor. Are you sure it was cod?

Liv – what did you get for that lego thing you did? Hope the exam goes well.

Lovr to all
Tanya

Nothing!!! and feeling fine Dod, so all’s good i say. Chemists here look like they would give you pwdered chalk as soon as look at you, so i opted for the nothing option. No swelling in sight at al.

Exams sound mighty exiting Liv, hope it all goes well and you sail thoguh with the first you should get !!! As for hey fever, just come to a warm climate. geoff’s asthma has disapeared all together!!!

Jul, plan A sounds fine. Did Dod tell you that we are on a different flight out of bali to singapore (SQ143) as the original one was cancelled. All most confusing, but as long as you leave on the same day as us there should not be a problem. The day hasn’t changed.

We are off to the other side of the island now which, being remote and un modernised probably won’t have e-mail and such like, so will be in touch soonest!!

Love tanya

Feeling fine now and had a great time. Glad to hear all’s well at home.

Dod,
