Wonderful news!

Great to catch up on your news about the NYT Julian. Sorry I couldn´t get to it in real time but the saga of the missing internet and misbehaving CD drawer is continuing. We are still here, honest. Will try to get to Alicante soon to see if the man can fix it easily.

We had a super weekend what with cricket on Saturday (30 runs not out and a win of 180 runs or so) and a very interesting church service on Sunday in which the older girls got wet. Larry, our resident pastor for the last two years goes back top the US next week and I´m taking on more responsibilities in the church as a result. A number of us went for an Indian after yesterday´s service and had an enjoyable meal. Work is a little frantic (as ever) with me chasing my tail trying to run a department, do my SMT bit and run a family home... I find a short twenty minute weight session in the early morning keeps me more energetic for longer so I am feeling pretty healthy apart from the cramps that come from a long day in the field and trying to teach hockey on Friday afternoons!

Looking forward to seeing you all in the not so distant future I guess. The countdown is on but as I am a bit behind with the blogging I have little idea of what I´m counting down to. Things seem to move to fast off the blog pages for a weekly review and I can´t seem to get back into January at the minute. Oh for a Mac.

Talk to you all again soon. Glad you had a happy birthday bruv.

PS Dad, remeber the 30 euro bottle of wine I accidently bought while you were here? Well, it was pretty good! We had it when Kev came over. Love to all.
