    Hey guys thanks again for the birthday wishes.I had a PM on facebook from Ricky wishing me HB and he said i can post this here.I asked him how he was getting on and what he missed etc:
    Radio 4, not the weather, good TV (and reception!), Jaffa Cakes, digital radio (they are going to have trials in Sydney in August or something... - 3,000 km south of us!!), my mum, friends, seeing people who are not white or Chinese / Korean / Japanese / Aboriginal, crime, bad food (I'd murder a chip butty), Doctor Who, MSE, and more that I can't think of right now.

    But I love it over here, and I'll love it even more once I can work, which should be fairly soon.

    We can swim in the sea at this time of the year without being killed by the box jellyfish, which is great as the beaches are just 10 minutes away, or a 15 minute walk to the lagoon. Crocs are more of a problem than the sharks up here, so you don't go too deep or where there are no people.

    It gets light and goes dark at the same time year round, and the sun shines most days. I wear flip-flops everywhere and most of the time (when I'm not barefoot), and shorts and T-shirt.

    Seafood, fruit and veg are all AMAZING!!

    You're welcome to drop this message into the Inn if you like. I miss the comping people so much; you're all a great bunch. Internet is so much slower over here, and there seem to be no unlimited packages, so it'll be a while before I get back into that.

    Take care, and have a great birthday!!

    Ricky

    Amilucky, hope things get sorted..they need pushing these people. Can you not ask for legal advice at all? Best wishes to you and to your wife x

    KKK, I am so sorry about your loss x I am sure your aunt knew how much you all loved her till the last minute...take care of yourself hun!!


    Dalkirst, glad you had/are having a good day, and thanks for posting Ricky's email x

    Gemma!!!!!! Stop being silly! You know you are nice x

    I sent myself an email (including my work today and a colourful diagram I spent all afternoon doing- sure they don't get impressed with an artistic thesis and want ideas but I am trying to distract them ) and then got overexcited when I saw new email:o:o
