Hi Carla,

Any chance of getting in some diving while you are away? In case you didn't notice, you are living in one of the worlds best diving destinations. Let me know if you get underwater.

Hi from Cairns

Hi Carla, was a shame you didn't come via Cairns on your way to the Solomon's. How long are you there for and what are you doing? Have you been out and about seeing places or are you based in Honiara?
Wayne & the boys are well and send their love. Suppose your Mum has rung and told you Kate & Michael had a little boy (actually he was over 8lb so not so little). I think they have called him William. Very hot and humid here in Cairns at the moment, so can imagine it would be more so where you are. Take care, and will email you soon.
Is there anything you need sent over? If so let me know. Love Maree, Wayne, Thomas & Jack XXXX

Cairns!!!

Hey there in Cairns miss! And the boys!!!
Well the Solomon's is pretty hot too, as you know! After my short stroll to work, my back is covered in sweat!
I am over here working in GIS, helping out with the provincial Topographic maps. Great people and I have been to a few parties, and for the first time ever tried Diving on Sunday! Was Great, now I am keen to do my dive master!
Colin and I are planning on meeting up on my way home- In Cairns!
So we are coming!
I fly out of here on the 11th Nov- the HON: 0200 flight- BRS:0600.
So we will be there! I havent asked for leave yet and haven't booked the flights, so i have a bit to do before it comes into play.
Talk to you more when I have some more info.
love
Carla

don't go just yet.
I can't be on here all day. Did you get a chance to look at the transfer? tell me about the race? how is everyone?
How big is the program to download? b/c we are charged per download.
Hence why i can't log into several progs.

hey back

Still here...

I havn't had time to check the transfer yet.

The race was ok. My wrist was fine, but my body just blew up. I just hadn't done enough training. It was cold and wet. Sprinkling rain and it got down to around 4 degrees. Slippery in places and sticky in others. The bike and lights held up fine, and no crashes. Everyone was pretty sore, but no injuries to anyone.

I just spoke to your mum and told her the problem you are having sending email. Nick is up at her place today, so hopefully he can help her get onto the website!

Lots of love,
Colin

It's actually pretty small.

You probably download 50-100kb everytime you read your email. Visiting this webpage 20 times would be a 400kb download. I don't understand the rest of your comment.

download

ok well I will download and follow protocol then.
I was just talking to her when I was emailing. Her house was broken into. Talk to you about it later.
I hope your feeling better.

good boy!
Yeah- seems breaking in is pretty common here. So I think I might just stay at the Mandana, even though there is a fair bit of commotion there too. It is probably the safest choice for now.
I am working on provincial maps. Learning a lot. I am going diving next weekend. I could have done it yesterday, but I chickened out!
Keep well and Healthy & I will try too. Love you lots.
