Cold - winter is definately on the way. Other than that we're all still muddling through.

Lesley is taking her Top CIMA exam next week.

Mandy is in her second year at 6th form, has got a regular boyfriend (she can wash the top of his car where he can't) and is thinking of following her mother into accounting.

John, well John is just John. Got his job at Sainsury's; got his room; got his flat panel T.V.; got his PS3; got his P.C.; got his hi-fi. In fact the only thing he hasn't got is a beer fridge.

Me, still working nights, though that may change . . . but they're gonna have to pay.

And finally the animals are all still here, though obviously older and maybe a little slower; hmm . . . perhaps not in Princess's case.

I don't understand how (often why) people live in the cold. I've expirenced two winters with snow and as soon as I had to chip the ice off of my car doors to get them open, I drove straight out of town.
Good luck.

Glad to hear the family is doing so well. I had a few cats, but left them random places... I'm not allowed to own pets anymore. Had to look up CIMA: sweet! It's always good to have an accountant around. I'll be needing one to sort through all my problems after years of being jobless.

I just went with some crew to town. We are anchored out a bit from the harbor and took a small tender to the island. The keychain broke, and I watched the key sink and dissappear. We climbed a hill and visited Ft. Saint Louis with a backpack full of beer... which did nothing for us on the ride home. There were four of us, (me, two large men, and one small one) and two ridiclously tiny oars. Hahaha what a joke it was. We got far enough to feel as if we had made progress, but not nearly far enough to feel hopefull when gorgeous young islander came to our rescue and towed us back to the yacht.
