(I hope it doesn't affect our/his visa application - which it didn't!)

Yes, I thought that. What the hell was he doing with fake ID???????
Wonder if he is a person that would object to proper ID cards? Makes me wonder.
How come Esme one minute had blonde hair and in another scene, it was almost black?
I hope they do more updates anyway.

As for the 'white hearses' comment, I think it's probably better to drive around with a corpse in a white (heat reflecting) hearse than a black (heat absorbing) model.
That Russel kid scared me. I've got 2 daughters (2 & 5). Please tell me they don't all go through that!

Wouldn't a conservatory be a little warm during the Perth summer months?
I loved her comment about 'Look at this plot. There's no shade', and then the hubby slowly shaking his head until she realised that there would be shade from the house that they planned to build.
Same planet, different world...
I admired the husband. Got right into the laid back lifestyle. Then again, he needed to be pretty laid back with her constant whinging.
