Hi happy campers

Does this mean you'll be like monkey off monkey magic now that you're higher spiritual beings?

Australian Idol was in town on the weekend. Rach and i were thinking of going in it when we remembered neither of us can sing - which is funny cos rach is a choir teacher. Going by this mornings paper 10 locals got through and are going to melbourne for the real tv auditions.

West won the cricket grand final.
Shaun got most valuable player for South Aus in the under 18 national championships - his head is even bigger if that is possible.

We've got a poker night at our house on saturday if your interested. I mean really who would refuse that.

Cheers

Jason and Rach

I'm only here writing because i can't find the TV remote to turn the bloody Commonwealth Games off.....please hurry up Sunday!
You missed the christening of my poker table a few weeks ago (ebay has A LOT to answer for!) 4am before the final game finished and I honestly thought we would see the sunrise.
As Jas has said the guys will christen his new poker table (again ebay!) while I have to baby sit...fun.

Are you two crazy?? Not talking - what the hell?? i would die- actualy die - 10 days did you say? emergency how about saving dennis from the voices in his head?

Crazy young ones!!

I would imagine that Al, Kris, gavin and i will discusss enough bullshit to cover you both this weekend- Menindee here we come.

Spoke to JIm yesterday- how great is he. Are you sure he is related to you dennis? wierd.

Gavin is working over at the enemy school at the moment, the purchase of our house is coming along nicely- 3 bedrooms one for you guys if you ever return to the desert oasis and all is well in the land of oz.

As rach and Jason mentioned- idol auditions- i was a success (as you can imagine smelly cat the album released soon) But the most exciting was dennis's protege Jessica Lambert- we know you love her dennis- taught her everything she knows BUT will she thank you on national TV- will you be back to find out??

The suspense.


We love you both

take care

Hi,
Just thought I'd let you know you're missing St Pats Races on Saturday, a hockey AGM on Monday, Pro Hart's state funeral on Tuesday and maybe another poker night on about Wednesday (but I think that one's flexible).

Looking forward to hearing from you when you can talk again (how come Kelli and Gav got a phone call and we didn't - we're feeling a little jealous and not sure if we can remain friends with them due to them stealing your attention away from us!)

Did we tell you we have fish in our fish tank? Did we even tell you we have a fish tank?

Write soon so we don't look like needy friends with nothing better to do than visit your sight!

Love From Rachel and Jason.
