Yesterday we finally got in touch with the relos in oz,we were on the skype audio visual link which is far superior to the other ones,I thought the old bloke who showed up on the screen was somebody they had found in the local geriatric home,but no it was crocodile mick in a funny hat, it seems he had been fishing and then lubricating his throat with victoria bitter,one of his sons came on camera and told us he had just been surfing(its winter) and the temperature was +21c here it was 13c early summer!having just installed the equipment they had a loose wire on the mike,it was left to Debbie to fix it (croc mick is an electrician)so I told him its just as well he has sold up and retired.
The upshot of it all is we are visiting them next year he wants us to bring Gina and Andy as well but I don't know if they are ready for his rich vocabulary without some previous exposure via the skype link,threats have been made to take us fishing on one of their three boats,they have two dinghys and a 30ft yacht,so there could be a little sick on the ocean waves to come.
Just out of interest we are obviously a family of some consequence in Australia,as there is a promontory in Sydney named Millsons Point.

How far is Mick from Sameer's?
Probably a five hour flight. You have to fly to Perth the up to canarven or a 600 mile drive. It is a long way.
Graham you have to get your Aussie speak correct. It is Relis, servo, avo, uni, that is all I can remember.It will all come flooding back when I get there, I hope?
