Hi guys. I see its -4 there! It's really nice weather in Hong Kong - 20 degrees, sunny and no humidity. We watched the harbour 'light show' last night - very impressive.

It's our last full day of our holiday today - seems very odd. We'll bore you to death over many a glass of wine with photographs and wonky videos (of which there are m more…

Hi Tom & Sian!
WOW! What an incredible photograph of that storm! We have of course been closely following the weather situation in Australia by being glued to 'I'm A Celebrity - Get Me Out Of Here'. So far Robert Kilroy-Silk and Dani Behr have been evicted. Sian, you'll still have time to get hooked to the show when you get back!!!! (so more…

I note with interest (and of course a degree of concern)that on the day that you arrived in Brisbane the city was struck with the worst storm it had seen in 25 years!! News captions down here include "Brisbane declared a disaster zone" and "soldiers and prisoners called in to help repair damage caused by one of the biggest storms to hit the city i more…

Hello Tom and Sian,

Interested in your comments about sport. I once was quite briefly in Australia. I did see some Aboriginees. I didn't get to speak to them, but they seemed quite likeable. Apart from them I thought the inhabitants fairly indistinguishable from the Estuary English - the same whiney accent and an inexplicable ability t more…

Would you like me to go round to have a chat with Mr Menzies, taking Nightmare with me? He has a long and distinguished record of dealing with unimaginative Bank of Scotland Managers. His methods are vigorous, direct, not for the squeamish, but seem to work.

Mr Menzies is now in effect a public servant, a fact he should not be permitt more…

Hello darlings. Seems so long since we were at your BBQ the weekend before we left for our 'big adventure' (thank you for making it so special for Tom). We played part of the video we took on that night at a family get together at Diane and Dale's house and positive admiring comments were made about your kitchen!

We are nearing the end more…

I didn't need a hat when we used to meet by the bins on Thursday mornings, darling!My leopard skin dressing gown was enough.

Hello you two
I would liked to have been a wall fly when Tom was given the airport staff his opinion on their inadequacies in relation to letting a flight go earlierthan scheduled...

I shudder when I look at Sian leaning into that gorge.
You know what I am like with heights, I would have been crying.

Good luck more…

Just reading your airport experience is giving me anxiety! I don't need any more stress what with jumping off bridges, holding killer snakes, shooting down slides into dismal swamps at the speed of light and, today, tree top walking and other adventures at some wild life place near the Great Ocean Road in Victoria state!

We've only be more…
