Day 2

Jerry has survived and relocvated to the oposite corner of the dorway!
Today we're going into the town to register with the police, find some more local clothing, get money our and find an internet spot which is where I'm at now (obviously!). We didn't get out till much later than we planned because Celine was waiting for a guy who was supposed to turn up at 9 but got here at about 12! Both Maddy and I have bought 2 salwar kamises (I think that's what they're called!), and then met Celine's sister and her husband who were both very nice. We're on our way back now. Sorry I haven't been able to upload photos yet, but hopefully I'll get the opportunity soon. Boy its varm in here!
Anyway I think I better go now Celine's waiting for us upstairs.
Hope you are all well!

Hi Sarah! We are having an Indian summer here and we're not even in India. MD rolled in horse poo yesterday with your mum (except your mum din't roll in it with him). Some things never change! Hope you are well and enjoying your new surroundings. Is Jerry still alive? xxx OCD Cyclist

Hi dear girl, Good to know you arr. safely!
Hammock still holding up? Could imaging you sleeping standing up - or feet up! Leave the spiders alone otherwise hundreds come to the funeral.

Hi hun, been a lovely day here. Took dad out for a walk to Birkrigg, down to the beach and back up and home slipping in for a pint at Bradylls Arms! I know I am going to regret not getting on with the garden but too lovely a day to work whilst g'dad here.
George had great time at camp and his team apparently won the shooting competition. All a bit tired now.
Hope you both keeping well and busy. Where do you spend most of your time when you are up, dressed and have eaten breakfast (and all the other hundreds of meals!)? Do you mix with the women in the shelter or do you stay in your flat?
Bonnie in heaven since g'dad arrived and you not the only ones who are going to be waddling soon!!!
Checked SAQ on your email site and it under Cambridge but not exactly sure what you want us to do now. Dad going to ring over next few days and I'll have a word with Leslie at work as she our computer bod at school. Take care. God bless, Mumms XX
