For Yeung Shu Kwan (Kenneth) with the X-Ray 1 Group on the Maribios Trek in Nicaragua.
ReplyDeleteHi Kenneth,
We now have snow in Anchorage and the skiing has just begun. I know this is a far away thought from where you are treking now. Yet, your physical and mental strength from x-country skiing the Spencer Loop and Tour of Anchorage must carry over to your present challenged.
Bill is still in New Hampshire with his father. Tonight he will have 8 people for dinner to eat salmon. Do they call the rice and beans dish gallo pinto?
Next weekend, I will visit my sister Betsy in Seattle. Her husband is from Nicaragua, near Granada. I will tell them all about your work in Las Tablas and your new trek in Mariobios.
Un abrazo fuerte!
-Emily
To Andrew Davies, X-ray 2.
ReplyDeleteHey Gap Yah,
Thanks for the email yday! I hope this next phase goes well and that you don't eat your Nicaraguan family out rice and peas...or break their basher beds.
I hope you're taking loads of pics, can't wait to see them when you get back over a "friendly dinner", however I suggest that you tone down your Gap Yah lingo by the time you get back, when have you ever said awesome?! I'm pretty sure you used to rinse people for saying that...naughty parrot.
Back at corporate central aka West Wickham, I successfully got my mother an interview for Monday, I cant't believe she may actually get a job before I do. Hayz is moving in for a month (unpaid internship which may lead to a job), I'm so excited about living with her again! And I'm back on the interview bandwagon, have got one most days so we shall see.
I'll update you soon!
Love you loads,
Chess xxx
Holly (Xray2), Hope you are having a fantastic time on your trek .... at least there won't be any digging (unless a bus gets stuck)! You forgot to mention that you got sick while in Achuapa ... good thing that you had a mom there to take care of you! Is there any way to thank her? Perhaps I will send a message to someone in Xray 6. Carly says that your class registration is at 10 am tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes. Be safe and have fun! Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteTo Sophie ten Bosch (X-Ray 4)
ReplyDeleteWat was het geweldig je te kunnen spreken schat, met dank aan de landgenoten. Door de blog krijgen we een heel redelijk beeld, maar hoe het ECHT is kon ik nu gelukkig van jou horen. Natuurlijk is het ook moeilijk uit te leggen wat je daar meemaakt en doormaakt, zowel de hele leuke en mooie als minder fijne dingen, maar ik denk dat ik een heel goed beeld heb nu. Loodzwaar was jullie trek in elk geval. Fysiek, door de weersomstandigheden, maar ook de afwezigheid van elke vorm van ' comfort' is wel heel want anders dan je gewend bent... Maar je hebt het duidelijk ook erg naar je zin; dat was goed te horen. Moest erg lachen om je verhaal over die toneelstukjes en het feest.
Ik ben heel blij dat jullie ' Nederlanders' zoveel aan elkaar hebben, dat heb je toch nodig als je daar in je eentje in de verte zit tussen voornamelijk Engelsen zoals je zei. En dat jullie met elkaar na afloop in een lekker hotel gaan ' bijkomen' klinkt als een vrolijk en fijn plan. Maar goed, eerst de komende dagen die vulkaan maar 's bedwingen en dan naar Prison Island San Lucas. Ik heb de berichten van de vorige groep die daar zat gelezen; het lijkt me wel heel bijzonder. En aan het strand- geen strandvakantie maar toch strand.... Ik hoop voor jullie dat het nou 's afgelopen is met dat meest heftige regenseizoen sinds jaren!
Ben weer erg benieuwd naar de eerste berichten; ik begreep dat jullie naar 3000 meter hoogte gaan- weer een hele uitdaging, Koud...maar vast ook onwaarschijnlijk mooi.
Ik leef en geniet op afstand met je mee, vind 't geweldig wat je doet. Hou van je, alle liefs XXX Mams

ReplyDeleteTo Josh Wilkes X-ray 4
ReplyDeleteThought the island might be a good project for you. Hope you're still OK. It was great to be in touch while you were at fieldbase. Congrats on your musical / entertainment success. It's cold and wet and blowing a gale here at the moment. I expect you're experiencing the rain but not the cold. We're looking forward to hearing from you again in a couple of weeks or so. Will still follow the blog. It's comforting to see what's going on. You're all doing such a good job. Now mind you keep away from the edge of that volcano!! You know what I'm like - disaster round every corner and born to worry. Seriously though have a marvellous time. We're thinking of you and love you loads, Dad, Mam, Ed, Gran and Auntie Ju xxxxxxx
( voor Caroline, x-ray 1)Lieve Tientje, Als het goed is ben je nu in Nicaragua al aan het Trekken. Hoop dat het lekker weer is!! Ben heel benieuwd naar de eerste berichten via de blog. Het was zo fijn dat we weer even een beetje konden bijpraten. Ik zag nu ook dat je echt mazzel heb gehad met de Turtles. Dat project is nu dus afgerond.
ReplyDeleteHier gaat alles zijn gangetje. Fietje 3-3 gespeeld in eerste competitiewedstijd. Jammer, maar er veel te weinig speelsters. Wij gisteren naar Max M.in New York ( Rotterdam), was 60(!) geworden. Iedereen wilde natuurlijk weten wat je allemaal aan het doen was, dus ik kon met goed fatsoen weer eens lekker doorpraten en je turtle foto laten zien. Ik hoorde van Anne Katrien , dat er nog contact was geweest van een vriendinnetje van Lieke met een van je leiders? Grappig! Rob lijkt aan het studeren te zijn. Afgelopen donderdag was het scholierendag in Groningen. Fietje is niet geweest ( gaat wel naar Kermess), maar Max is er wel met zijn maatjes naar toe geweest. Van Ka begreep ik dat hij het heel leuk heeft gehad ( en zijn kleren roken er ook naar!). Verder niet veel bijzonderheden. Ik blijf wel regelmatig even bloggen. Lieve muis, ik ben weer heel erg nieuwsgierig natuurlijk. Ook naar je groep.Wil ook heel graag weten of je blaren geen probleem geworden zijn. In ieder geval, dikke xxxxxx van ons allemaal, mammie

ReplyDeleteHi SD
Hope you haven't got too much of a numb bottom after your long bus journey! Hope it is sunshine and heat all the time for the next 3 weeks.
It is cold and wet here, days are getting shorter and Christmas mania is beginning to take over. Shops are full of merchandise!
Take care

ReplyDeleteFor Sarah K X-Ray 2
ReplyDeleteHowdy Sarah
Hope you're enjoying some spectacular scenery on your trek from one side of the country to the other. You got what you wanted! I'm sure the Pacific will look a lot more inviting than our cold grey North Sea.
Rachel & I are posting birthday cards so they might get there by the time you're back at field base. Something to decorate the tent with!
We had a lovely week end, with everyone (except you) round for a meal yesterday. Grandma's really enjoying holding Alex and talking to him now he smiles and makes lots of different noises back. Rachel & I went to our usual shopping places to make a start on Christmas shopping, but we didn't buy much. She persuaded me to buy yet more chocolates! Guess you might like some when you come back, at least chocolate won't melt here.
Lovely to get your texts & talk on msn, really miss you. Have a brilliant time,
Love you lots
Mamma

To Jack harrington (X-Ray 5)
ReplyDeleteMandy's To-Do List:
1)Thank Jack for the emails and phone calls on her birthday, which totally made her day :D
2)Write an email to Jack about all the shananigans that went on on said birthday (dirty pints + lunging = bad sunday)
3)Explain the scary essay incident, which turned out was the internet plagerising and not Mandy.
4)Be an awesome gf and watch a birmingham match (no matter how rubbish they are).
5)Wish Jack all the best on his new project, knowing he's having the best time ever (and try not to be too jealous).
6)Quiet time
7)Wait patiently for Jack's return...so she can finally watch despicable me :P
8)Hoover
A little birdy told me you might just enjoy this ;) Missing you loads, and I'll keep these coming as promised.
Lots of love Mandy xx
Hey Beki :) (X-ray 6)

ReplyDeletelieve Jan,
Ik kijk elke dag weer naar de site op zoek naar nieuwe informatie.
Wij zijn benieuwd hoe je het nu hebt daar te Nigaraqua. Zo te lezen veel meer relaxed.
Het zonnetje schijnt daar nu veel meer dan tijdens de trek volgens de berichten.
Het is hier kouder aan het worden en om half zes is het al donker s'avonds. De Sinterklaas artikelen liggen al in de winkels en sommige zijn al met Kerst bezig. Lekker genieten daar de komende tijd. Hopend zien we gauw weer een foto op de site.
We miss you veel liefs van je moeder kus xxxx

ReplyDeleteHi
Thanks for your calls at the weekend. Hope you managed to get some more kit for the volcano. Will have to check out exactly what you're supposed to be doing there! No doubt Holly will fill you in on the amazing 21st she's just been to but I passed on your messages to her. Jess has started wearing her hair loose (after all these years!) - must be some boy she met at the Halloween party she went to! Glad you're teaching them how to partay a la Lufbra - I'm sure they ain't seen nothing yet! I'll try to remember to send a message to that nice young man you handed the phone to - that'll get all your friends talking!!! Better go - need to finish bottling up my sloe gin!
Lots of love,

Message for Amy Cooper
ReplyDeleteX Ray 6
Dear Amy
Hope the second phase of your adventure is as exciting as the first! It will be a great experience to live with a local family and also meet new people now that the groups have all changed.
I'm sure it will be a fantastic feeling when the group finally turns on the taps!
Things are pretty much the same here. We are getting ready for Megan and Grace's party on Saturday. They've got some pretty cream bridesmaid-style dresses to wear, so I'll take some photos to show you. At the Halloween party Megan was saying your name really clearly when she saw a photo of you.
A couple of the girls in year 3 were asking when you are coming back to school to work with them! UCL has emailed to say that your aplication has been received complete and you will have a decision by 15th Dec.
Hope the project is running smoothly and you aren't getting too many blisters from digging!
Missing you lots
Lots of love Mum and Dad xxxxxx
To Jayome Hutchinson (X-ray 6)
ReplyDeleteHey Jay :)
I hope you are doing well and are enjoying the start of your new project! It was great to be able to talk you again, especially on Skype, being able to see you face and hear your voice meant a lot. Loving the tan as well, about time you started to tan really :P Looking forward to receiving your next letter, when you get mine dont be too confused if it contains questions that you have already answered etc- just remember I wrote it before we got to talk :)
I handed my first essay in yesterday, eeek it's worth 40% of my module grade so I hope I have done ok! This week at uni is going to be pretty uneventful, it's reading week for me which means all but one of my lectures are cancelled hehe so basically it means I'm just going to be sleeping a lot and trying to correct my sleeping pattern!Though of course Weds will be our traditional orange wednesdays! Not sure what film we will be seeing though, will tell yoou about it though. My parents are coming up to visit this weekend- I best get tidying my room eek! Then next week I'm going to visit Cam and that in Sheffield which should be pretty fun! Then after that it wont be long until phase 2 is completed! And we can hopefully talk again. I'm looking foward to it already, you are nearly half way through your time already and I cant believe how quickly that has gone. I love it haha.
Not much else to report really, I told you all the latest sports news via Skype and nothing has really happened since. I'll keep you updated on the F1 and football though :) Oh and I'll let you know how it goes as we retain the Ashes from you Aussies ;) hehehe. It starts in Brisbane as well I think :) When you get back I'll have to show you my Australia guide book hehe, see how many places you recommend :D.
Looking forward to reading about your project in the blog and in the mean time I'll be counting down until we can speak again. Enjoy the sun too, over here it is wet and cold. Great :P
Love you lots and lots,
Emma xxx
For Ben Green X-Ray 3, Ben, I hope you are now on your next assignment and that you are drying out. The blog has been interesting but a little bit alarming as well. I think all the rain you have had is now in Europe as it has been raining all week. Nothing new here. No news about Adrian but he goes to NECIS tomorrow and he and Vito are doing a 51 km run in the north of Luxembourg in 2 weeks. Felipe over tonight and says "hi". He was up in St Andrews last weekend doing some recording. I hope you get a chance to email next time you are in Field Camp. I think you were probably not there very long. We are sending post and hope it is getting through. Miss and love you, Mum

ReplyDeleteHi SD
Hope you are having a great time and my swede is back :) The Pope was in Barcelona at the weekend and there was a demo by 6,000 gays who objected to his disapproval of gays. Great pics of gays blatantly snogging to the cameras. Reminded me of our weekend in La Rambla. Still have pics of the procession we witnessed!
Mummy and I are off to Twickers on Saturday to see England v Australia. Talking of Oz,looking forward to Sydney Christmas 2011???
X-Factor is hotting up with Cheryl Cole under fire for refusing to vote when she had to choose between 2 of her girl contestants. Real bore but pulling in the audience. Nearly 17M watched last week's show.

For Sarah K X-Ray 2
ReplyDeleteHowdy for the second time this week!
I left a message yesterday but just had to leave another to say I got your letter! What a lovely surprise! It was great to read all about life in El Rodeo, and I made myself late for work reading it twice.(Lucky my students were late too, so no one noticed!)
Hope you're still enjoying your trek. I'm sure you'll have no problem keeping up. Even if it's raining it's got to be better weather than here. The snowflake is on in the car! My students left their children at home today because they thought it was too cold - they were horrified when I told them it's only Autumn!
Your letter was postmarked 2 Nov & arrived her on the 9th, so that's not bad. I'm looking forward to another now that you've promised to write again. Miss you loads,
love you lots & lots,
Mamma

ReplyDeletesorry we missed you on your break. We'll try again next time. 280km in 15 days is a long trek. I hope you're keeping a clean pair of socks to filter your water! Your weather seems to be improving, although it's going to be hard treking in that heat. Just remember to enjoy the scenery on the way.
Ian has jsut signed up for a 'long' cycle ride - 100kms. We smiled to ourselves as it's only going to take him 4 hours - maybe I'll make him walk it in support for all you guys! love Auntie Debbie & Uncle Ian xxx

ReplyDeleteFor Sarah Kendall X-Ray 2,
ReplyDeleteHowdy sister!
I hope you are enjoying the trek :) Just read Mum's message on here and I would like to say that in no way did I persuade her to buy more chocolate for Christmas! I just saw them and said 'that's cheap' and the next minute they were in the trolley lol!
Back at Uni now after a lovely weekend at home. Alex seems to get cuter and cuter - the first time i've seen him since you last did! He has changed a lot and is smiling lots and lots and trying to laugh! Awwwwww! He is also very very tall surprise surprise lol!!
I am working absolutely none stop. Don't have time for any of the 'recommended' reading or anything, I just have so much coursework to do and it is all really really hard! Not fun! Hopefully I will find time to go out at some point though lol. Went to Chinese 'Wongs' the other day which was nice.
Anyway, it is 1.27 in the morning here and I really should get off to bed. Got a day free from lectures etc. tomorrow, but it's the last day before my coursework deadline and I have an afternoon filled with boring meetings about various boring things and boring people :( Going to art tomorrow night hopefully though :)
Anyway, hopefully talk on your birthday! Hope you have a lovely trek and take lots of photos. Keep safe and well! Miss you and love you lots and lots!

ReplyDeleteHola morenita, espero que este bien y disfrutando mucho de la vida, viva la experiencia al maximo. Ojala que no este pasando mucho frio en el volcan, y esperemos que no haga erupcion un dia de estos.. jaja..! Tambien ojala que este disfrutando bastante de toda la deliciosa pasta, el atun y los pork&beans! Que bueno que este haciendo Raleigh Adri! Ya quiero salir a vacasiones Rodri, ya vamos como 2/3 del semestre por lo menos, y pasado mañana tengo examen de mecanica, y estoy mal pero me a ido mas o menos en los otros.. Mi amor la extraño mucho.. Le mando un gran beso y un gran abrazo, muaax! la amo!
Adri vieras que escuche que en San Lucas mandaban a los delincuentes mas peligrosos, decian que los que entraban no salian vivos, morian en manos de los carceleros o de sus compañeros, incluso hay sangre en las paredes de sus peleas, igualmente se conservan los grafitis que hicieron... Y dicen que en la noche se puede escuchar y algunas veces, durante la noche se pueden ver y escuchar los espiritus de los reos muertos.. Tambien lei que en una parte de la isla hay un cementerio...
Que pase un linda estadia! ;)

ReplyDeleteQuisiera palpar el silencio
Ser yo quien sopla el viento
Bañarme de estrellas quisiera
Vestirme de mar y de cielo
Practicar el lenguaje
Que no se habla ni es silencio
Hablarte en otro idioma quisiera
Decirte así lo que no puedo en verso
Llegar donde no alcanza mi verso
Mi mente surreal no es suficiente
Quiero llegar donde no alcanza mi verso…
Quisiera habitar en tus piernas
Creciendo como la hiedra en ti, o
Navegar mil leguas quisiera
Fijado en el timón de tus caderas
Caminar la llanura
Que haya en tus ojos encuentro
Bañarme de tu cuerpo quisiera
Andar las costas de tu cuerpo entero
Danza sudor y cadencia
De pulso agitado y sereno
De ver tus suspiros quisiera
Embriagarte con mis besos
De tu piel tu mirada
Mil canciones de noche engendro
Pero antes que cantarlas quisiera
Andar las costas de tu cuerpo entero
Llegar donde no alcanza mi verso
Tu cuerpo imaginar no es suficiente
Quiero llegar donde no alcanza mi verso…mi verso. mua!! nochi!

W weekend napisze wiecej bo jest juz pozno i jestem zmeczona. Mam nadzieje, ze projekt, ktory teraz robisz jest tak samo ekscytujacy, jak ten z zolwiami, a moze nawet i bardziej.

ReplyDeleteYes Walters. You know who it is. Hope you're well. Palace won 3-2 at home to Watford last night but are still bottom. Getting home for me was such a mission. Harry had his passport nicked so we had to go between the police station, airport, embassy, bank and back to the embassy several times before our flight! unbeliiiievable. Torres smashed two away against Chelski btw ;) Will and Mike are back in the naaam for a couple of days, and I am going to Soton preetty soon. I may now longer not be going to France so you may even see me when you get back. Who knows! When you have a moment, think of me, sleeping in a warm bed, having hot showers and playing fifa :) lol.. Send everyone my love. Much love homeboy. Louis xx

ReplyDeleteHowdy sister :),
I know i've already written this week (a very long message lol) but decided to write again anyway cos I'm missing you :(
Mum read me your lovely letter over the phone. Really nice surprise! Hope you write another one lol!! I am not working too hard honestly! I am only doing the stuff with deadlines but I seem to have a deadline every single day! :( Handed in one piece of coursework that I managed to finish at 3.45 in the morning though! Just had three hours straight of lectures in the same room, with the two most boring lecturers in existence! They are running 1p coffee, tea and hot choc in Lusu this week, so really making use of that lol! Had a cappuchino in the middle of my lectures, which just about kept me awake lol! Going to get another in a bit. Going home next weekend, so going to catch up with work this weekend. Had a meal in Pizza place in town with old flatmates (not certain members of course lol) last night, which was lovely - had 3 courses! Very very windy weather here, especially in Lancashire, nearly got blown over last night - over 80mph winds!!
Look forward to talking in a few weeks. Miss you and love you lots and lots

ReplyDeleteHiya buddy, hows things? Thanks for the email! The photos look mega- spotted you in one! Sounds like your all working hard and bonding together as a group.
Helmet, Jamal and I were talking the other day about the Royal Maring values: determination, courage, unselfishness and cheerfulness in the face adversity. Seems very appropriate for what you are doing too! You've got bags of all of the above so Im sure your doing fine as well as supporting/ patching up the others too!
Look forward to more updates of your trip!
Take care, Charlotte

ReplyDeleteBen ... hope you're having a great time in Miraflor and your Spanish is improving. We will be in FL for a few days when you come back - so there'll definitely be some R&R opportunities. You'll have to come and meet some of the people in the business too - remember they can help with future work opportunities so it's a good thing :). I got back from Belgium with a stinking cold and it was freezing in VA, but it's now much warmer ... who knows what it will be like when you get back! The gym is still under construction - not much time for progress I am afraid, but will try to have it done before you get back :). Anyway - doing this from the plane on the way back home, so I need to go back and do some work .... so, hope it's all good. Love you. mum xxx

Weather has been very bad in the UK this week. Cold ( 3 degrees ) and wet. Brr.

i cant waiiiiittt to see you and everyone else in fact i have TWO WEEKS TO GO here, ill tell you why thats good in a bit. haha

How's it all going? Well, I hope. Looking forward to reading the next installment on X Ray 6's progress. Hope you enjoyed the random comments made by everyone??Auntie Lanie was in charge, so I'm taking no responsibility!
I've been looking at the best way to book train tickets to London on 18th Dec. We can get a ticket with a one day travelcard so we can do some Christmas shopping before we come to the airport. When you know which terminal you will be landing at, could you let us know please.
It was nice to have a chat with Tom at the party, he said he had read your group facebook message.
I wrote this message out and then the computer froze so I'm writing it again and hoping that I can send it this time!
Is the time going really quickly for you? It does seem like such a long time since we saw you.

ReplyDeleteHi fat girl
I sent you a message on saturday when your nouna was here. she was in stitches when i wrote it but it looks like it is not here!!!
Angelo was here at my house and he held 95% of the total conversation talking about eating mould and his nights of not sleeping and his freezer full of animals that no one apart from him eat like horse,ect. He even got his tools out and changed my front door lock.
Anyway how is it out there.... have you cleaned your toilet out yet?
Mum keeps moaning to me to send you messages. \i think she needs a laptop.
Anyway you r boring me now and i want to watch the real jungle in australia with im a celebrity...
BTW carefuk u dont fall down as you might make a big hole in the ground with your big fat bum.... maybe u can use the hole as your toilet hehehe
penny says hi. she is trying to work put what deserts to do for when mum and dad come on sunday for dinner... i told her not to bother to compete as she has no chance of winning.

ReplyDeleteHi Kateth!
How are you my dear? I have finally gotten around to writing on your blog! I hope I am doing this right?
Anyway I hope you are having an amazing time and enjoyed your time on the deserted island! The prison sounds quite scary but a great place to spend Halloween (a lot better than bar 35 for definite)! A hammock on the beach sounds right up my street as well! How are all the bugs and wildlife?!
I hope you are not too brown and skinny as if this is the case we can no longer be friends as I am pasty and obese and this will only get worse in the coming weeks! Sorry I hope this isn’t being read out loud as it sounds really shallow!
Just a quick question though, are you dodging the camera by any chance? Not seen a single photo of you but think you may be lurking in the background on a couple! Ha ha!
I don’t have any gossip I’m afraid, I haven’t done anything since you left pretty much! I have got a new sofa so can have more than 2 guests at a time which is the most exciting news I have to report I’m afraid!
We have had really bad floods in Cornwall at the moment and loads of houses have been evacuated but Bude is still here and I drove past your house this morning and it hadn’t floated away so no worries there (Bude hasn’t been effected really so not to worry you!).
I guess you will be in phase 2 now but not sure if you are doing a trek or living with a family but I’m sure both will be amazing and lots of fun! I hope you are enjoying yourself and have met some great people which I’m sure you have! Y
ou are very missed in Bude and it isn’t the same without you!
Take care and have a fab time!
Speak soon!

At least the sun is out in the latest photos!! Sounds as though you are all having a great time - even with the wet! Made us chuckle when we saw that the "shop" sold painkillers to the group!!
Still wet here - cold, windy - at least if it's wet with you it's warm wet......
Will be interested to know why the old kneecaps were bandaged!!
No news really - all the same here - just wanted to say hello - we're following the blog and I think Dad wishes he was there too - he would soooo love this!

ReplyDeleteLieve Art ,
Het is inmiddels al de zesde keer dat ik op de blog een berichtje achterlaat maar het verschijnt nooit ??? Hopelijk krijg je wel de post en heb je misschien wel je mail kunnen checken. Ik heb al 2 weken niets meer gehoord en van jullie groep is er qua verhaal en foto niet echt veel op de blog. Hoe gaat ie daar lieverd , we zijn heel benieuwd naar de nieuwe verhalen en hopen dat je het nog steeds geweldig hebt. Hier winter en er word hard gewerkt door iedereen . Nanook heeft vandaag rapport binnen met als laagste cijfer een 6 en hoogste 8 dus we zijn mega trots op onze brugpieper. Phoebe is meer bezig met bossie en haar social life , maar probeert ook wat meer haar best te doen.
Pappa wacht nog steeds op grote jobs die bevestigd gaan worden en ik heb mijn eerste big order uit Milaan binnen van een top winkel ! Niels doet zijn 2 vakken en zoekt naar werk en maakt muziek ... Ik heb vanochtend contact gehad met de HKU en je moet voor 4 dec een port folio laten zien , dus wij proberen een mooi portfolio samen te stellen van de foto's die je hebt gemaakt en hopen dat jij via Raleigh als je terug op fiedlbase bent een selectie kan doorsturen van de 10/20 beste foto's . Zou dat lukken denk je . Laat maar weten en misschien kan je dit ook bespreken met je team leiders . Ze hebben daar vast begrip voor . Lieverd ik ga Phoebe halen van school Big Hug love & peace , Mam

How u doing cuz?
I bet your having a wicked time bossing everyone around, putting on your posh voice...(but I know better lenga)
Anyways, am still working with your bro, and sticking it out at college still. got my first assignment back this week and got a merit but was disappointed not to get a distinction and am due to have words with my tutor about it next week coz i'm NOT happy (check me out actually caring about education for once in my life...). I'm still the only guy in my class of about 16 people, and im in the process of applying to Uni and looking at courses to go away for a year too.
Anyway enough about me, I hope your having a wicked time and if not why not??? and remember when your eating if you look for it you'll find it so don't look and stop grinding your teeth when you sleep - its very annoying.
Chat to you soon Lenga.

ELENA OURRIS X-RAY 7
ReplyDeleteHey FATGIRL
Me again.... 2 messages on your blog in 1 week..... OMG I must be missing having your big fat bum around!!!!
I was just thinking of you as I was having a number 2 on the toilet... The toilet reminded me that you have to dig then clean out your toilet and it put a smile to my face.
I went to mums last night and they showed me the letter that you wrote, well when I say "you wrote" I should say "SCRIBBLED". They asked me to read it to them as they could not read your writing.... even I, the man that worked in Edmonton that had to read writing from people that knew no english, could only just about understand 80% of the words you wrote. I think you need to go back to school in Anastasia'a class with those books with three lines in them so that you can be taught to write properly.
Anyway, it was good to see that for some strange reason you seem to be enjoying yourself out in the jungle with the vultures flying over you and the rain pouring into the hammock that you keep falling out of when you return from the toilet that is a hole dug inthe ground that has overflowed over because of the rain..... I am soooooo jealous NOTTTTTTTTTTT.
I just showed Johnny how to send you a message on this blog thingy so he is probably sending you a more normal message than mine.
Anyway, I have just thought.... if you are in the jungle that means you don't have much to eat which then means you might loose some weight which then means you might no longer be fat which then means your name might have to change to anoerexic girl.
Now thats too much thinking in one day for me... I have a headache now.
I am going to have to go now as me and Penny will be going Sainsbury's in a bit to do the shop for when mum, dad, tom, christy and their kids come round. She is still trying to work out what cakes to make and compete with mum... so far we have banoffee pie, loukisa (chocolate and biscuit cake), jelly and caramela. Anastasia also wants a fairy cake!!!
I bet you wish you were coming now to eat some of these cakes so that you can regain your rightful name again..... FATGIRL.
I see looking through the blogs that you have a greek message from Nikos..... ahhhh ain't it cute. Bet you could not understand it though hahahahahahahahahahahaahaha.
Mum is still getting on my nerves asking me if I have left you messages on your internet thing. I keep saying yes to her to to her knowledge I have sent you 35 messages. She keeps telling me to tell you that you are fat and ugly but I keep telling her that its not nice to lie to you and that you are really Very Fat and Very Ugly. Anyway, she has decided that your room needs a clean and has thrown everything away that was in it and put worktops in there to make her kourapiethes for the whole or North London. I am afraid you will have to sleep with the kourapiethes when you finally get back to London!!!!
Anyway you are boring me now so I am off to Sainsbury's to set the record for buying the most cake ingredients.
Bye ffrom Tony, Penny, Harry, Anastasia, Mum and Dad and everyone else that can't be bothered to learn to use this blog thingy.

All's well here....Sasha is in NYC this weekend touring around with a friend and I'm off to Boston next wednesday for turkey with John, Sasha, Laura and grampa....Dad has to work;;;-(
We signed the final papers for the house....So it is officially sold....I'll have to start house hunting when I get over to Dublin just after I return from Boston.. .;-OOOO

ReplyDeleteHello :) I put off sending you a message yesterday due to hangover, but today I have a cold so I thought; meh, this message will suck but you're probably used to this by now. I found another song that makes me as crazy as "Crazy" did. Yus! I've got it on repeat on youtube 'cause I have no money to buy it. Christmas steals my money! I want to by a black santa hat that sais "Bah, Humbug" on it but I can't! I have no money! Then the whole hideous cycle continues...
...what am I talking about?? Gah, I don't even know. How's the rainforest coming along? Got a nice mirador going eh? Lots of...lots of trees? I thought so. Ah, I wish I could talk to you, instead of rambling on about literaly anything that comes into my head, and almost misspeling literaly.
Ah! This message is so low grade. It's rubbish. I feel like being french, slashing it up and shouting "Vot was I zinking!".
Basicaly, It's cold here, I have a cold, I hit my head off a cieling at a party on friday then fell down the stairs (classy) And I'm missing you wayyy too much. One of the lyrics in the new song is "Truth be told I miss you" Which I quite like. I can't wait to see you again.
Lots of love (and sorry for the weird message!)

ReplyDeleteHi JJ.
I hope this gets through, Mum and i have been sending you various messages, but they never seem to appear here so I can't be sure.
Anyway, all is ok here. Mum's gone down to see Dee for the weekend so I'm here on my own with Molly the Collie - who is as bonkers as ever. She's now become obsessed with shadows and will stare for hours at them.
So how are things going? We haven't seen a blog from x-ray 3 yet but Laura says that you cropped up on her facebook page the other day and that you said you were having fun. When you get a chance at the next turnaround send us an email to let us know that everything's ok, as we've only had one email from you right at the start and we're pining.
It's cold, wet and windy here..(bet you're looking forward to coming back!) but Lewes is beginning to feel a bit pre-Christmassy, which is always lovely.
Wales have been grinding through the autumn internationals. Lost to Australia and South Africa and drew (should have thumped them, really) with Fiji. Next week it'll be the All Blacks, which probably won't bring much joy. I'm going to see the Barbarians againt S.Africa at Twickenham in a couple of week's time with Steve - which might be the only time this autumn I get to see a side I support actually win something! Brighton are doing well, though. Top of the table and heading for promotion.
It's the trek next for you, isn't it? Gosh that'll be tough, but at least you'll be good and fit for it, what with all the digging and clearing. Hope your kit is holding up? I can't wait to see the photos.
That's it for now, son.I'll keep my fingers crossed that this get's through.
Lots of love. Dad x

ReplyDeleteHi JJ. Just realised may have address last message to x-ray 6 by mistake. So hope it gets through to you. Anyway, all well here, son. We miss you very much but hope you're having an amazing time. All the pictures on here look wonderful. Are you tired of beans yet? Everyone sends their love. Send us an email when you can.

Sophie ten Bosch x-ray 4 De berichten over jullie groep verschijnen niet op de Blog. Eerlijk gezegd weet ik niet waar je zit en wat je doet; bij zoveel onwetendheid begin ik jouw onderneming hier, in het loodgrijze Nederland, zelfs als een avontuur te zien. Ik hoop en verwacht dat je het geweldig hebt en dat ik spoedig iets over jullie lees en veel foto's te zien krijg. Ik heb een fotozaak in de Kinkerstraat gevonden die al die vreemde bestanden van de foto's weet om te toveren tot mooie afdrukken. Ik kan niet wachten om je weer ergens in de wildernis afgebeeld te zien. Dag lieve dochter. Ik hoop dat je mijn berichten ontvangt, ik zie ze zelden in het overzicht terug. Ik denk elke dag aan je en vind het geweldig wat je doet. Kus

ReplyDeleteHi Sime
Just wrote a long message and I lost internet connection and the message has also gone!!
Was Auntie Shammi's B'thday - gave her a surprise party - everyone was there except dad as he is not well!! I got some flap from you-know-who - I gave her a 'look' and moved on. Its Karran's 21st and Simi's 40th b'thdays on 3rd Dec - oh well this too will pass.
Thaiji and rest are fine - talked to Kirran and could hear Dhaan making her 'statements' - she wants kirran to entertain her all the time!! preeth is fine - has been all over the place - for work and at the moment is in a West London hotel as she has deadlines. Thaijis are going to India on the 10th for 3 weeks so you will miss them. Renu and family are fine - she called to find out how you were doing.
Rest everyone is fine.
Looking forward to having you back soon
Take and Enjoy -
Love
Mon, Dad and Avnita
