So if Australia win, does next year's final take place in Australia?

No, Germany.

It will be organised by the Australian team however, and Australia will be allowed to re-compete.

And here comes the part that the whole Europe cringes in embarassment.....

I do have a mole I am aware of on my upper back, that got swiped with cream this morning. Its quite incredible in fact, where I got and didn't , the difference, never seen such a marked difference, I'm sure I'm not always perfectly thorough, partly by virtue of limited reach:o

OMG tons of gossip (and not all good) but I have been logging in here on a Kindle (which is a PITA as I can't type on it as it changes all the words) so I kind of know what's been going on with you all...just. I mean GB hasn't mown his lawn for 6 months :eek:




My Mum is not good sadly and so we are treading water. She is now having Chemo too.
My Dad is having Radiotherapy and is now totally deaf...and as my parents aren't together so it's like a double bubble.


Whilst we were really about not moving to the big house of derelict loveliness by the sea last Autumn, it was the right decision for all family things.


On a positive note, I had a bit of a hiatus year work wise (much needed) and we had to block our website in China using keywords that work ~(like Tiananmen sq. massacre) and wait for them to work as it got ridiculous.


I'll put some links up one day so you can see what they did.


And now work has gone off again and amongst the usual stuff we have a corp buyer for the new swim range and a yoga thing going to Aus + the US but none of this will be visible until SS 16 .
Hows you? I hope you managing to eat more raw foods

I was thinking of you recently and I did read about Firs new job and how it gives you both more time together....I so hope it's working out as time is not finite, it's actually our most precious resource.




DS has had a lightbulb moment recently and he always thought he would enjoy the uber corp type of environment he is in.


He will complete his TC next year + he has found the whole thing fascinating as it has challenged what he thought he believed in. In a nutshell, he is finding that the people he interacts with are somewhat 'dry' (his words) and many without 'soul'. He is currently wading through concrete in the real estate dept with it's long hours and slightly masochistic work culture.


We have a feeling he will take his qualification into an area that challenges big business practises rather than defends them. Sadly, he will probably never make the mega bucks going down this route but he feels strongly about many things he has seen / experienced.
