Tis round here, turn up, sit on the porch, smile sweetly and look cute, and you get a pile of apples Not much has changed over the last two years actually, Bernie used to do exactly the same only he got a jar of pickled onions and a bottle of beer instead of apples

Airbourne (a band) are programming Rage ... Angels followed by AC/DC ... It's unturnoffable ... I am meant to be playing cricket for a bunch of blokes I've never met at a place I've never seen tomorrow about 9.

I won't end/start well ...

Validation trip (depending on visa requirements) March 2012, then make the permanent move sometime after July 2012. Possibly around October/November time, but we need to decide on that nearer the time.

Good stuff! Are the children enthusiastic, do they realise it's not just a 'long' holiday?

Bar snacks No nuts, AQIS will nab them (that's Him sorted then, they might not let him in but crisps and twiglets are always welcome

Might get to meet you before then, I'm over in Sept/Oct and hope to be catching up with the Barfly so we might manage to all get together, I shall have a chat with him and see what he reckons

Oh yes. The boy had a few wobbles about leaving friends behind, but we explained that he would be able to make new friends and still keep in touch with his UK friends and we've talked about the exciting things we can see and do and he is very enthusiastic about it.

The girl's only criteria is that we have a pool with a table in it so we can have picnics in the pool She may be disappointed
