... more jobs that the cats would like doing while they are here!
I am feeling much happier now as I can see that they will be very happy and that once we leave they will forget about us and just keep watch on the food we Sarah, Simon, Wilma & Marlene!

... iron holder. I’ve made myself "useful", a little. We’ve also practised playing computer games to impress friends with high scores and spent far too long on Facebook. Laura has written some notes for one of her stories and declared that she must get out of her pyjamas before she starts on the vodka. I am pleased to note that it is nearly 5pm and she is still in bed clothes rather than swilling her mouth out with booze first thing in the morning!

... the third engine failure of our journey to Alex's Mum in Norfolk (what was supposed to be just a slight detour on our way to Dover for a ferry on the 9th Nov). It could have been worse, we could have come to rest in the middle of a busy A road instead of splayed at an odd angle across the store's disabled parking bays! Three cheers for Alex's marvellous steering ...

Hiking – You really should get to know Vietnam inside out and what better way than to explore the scenic and serene mountains in the north of Vietnam by hiking. Take in the mesmerizing nature in the Central Highlands of Vietnam and the grassy tracks of Mekong Delta offer many memorable hiking expeditions.

Jungle Trekking - Vietnam has deep green ...

... it was designed in the 70s but it looks like it could be brand new. They had a beautiful exhibition in there of photographs of farming and farmers in East Anglia. It sounds daggy, but the photos were just stunning. They also had one on surrealism, but I wasn't so keen on that. Far too many pairs of underwear stretched across chairs and disturbing video installations.

Anyway, that is all from me really. Hope you're all well. Not long now til I'm home really!

... who lives in my flat. We went to The Waffle House and, well, ate waffles, obviously! Then we shopped for Halloween costumes, which was a first for me! Plus all the shops had put up their Chistmas window displays that weekend, so we had fun staring at those. After shopping we went to see a movie called The Invention of Lying. It starred Ricky Gervais and was pretty funny. Not a really great plot and a very corny ending, but some definite laughs. Loved the ...

... told everyone I will spend them on something extra that I would not have been able to enjoy without their treat - or I might use it for something especially memorable - like my first ever try at ski-ing which I have planned for Dubai - It seemed the most appropriate place to give it a go - also we are close enough to the end of our trip for breakages not to be too much of a problem.

... available, but each one comes with the exceptional service from the staff. An intimate romantic walk on the beach is within your reach. The beach is located in the vicinity and ready to be taken advantage of. What is a more romantic than the beach, pure blue water, and picking up seashells in the sand? On their website you can contact them to get your own ...

... workshopped that poem on Wednesday when I went to my creative writing group meeting as Wednesday was a dedicated workshopping session. The group has another session this afternoon on dialouge, followed by a few drinks in the campus bar, so that should be fun!

That's it from me really. Hope you are all well and that the weather is starting to get better in Australia. Can't wait to see you all in only two months' time!

We finally get to see the truck - !! . . . Our new home. Doesn't look at tall as the one used last year - or maybe it's just much longer to take the extra bodies. Kirsty (middle) and Steve (right) will be our mummy and daddy for this trip. Still can't get all our stuff into our bags and we leave for London 7am tomorrow . ... . :-(
