Good Afternoon 1ozzy

[1ozzy]

Hello JJ, how are you?

[JJ109]

Fine thanks - "stuck" in front of the computer because I am too lazy to get on the garden, too hot is my excuse!

[1ozzy]

Roughly where are you JJ, obviously not UK.

[JJ109]

Thailand - at the start of the mountains just North Of Chiang Mai. Not as hot as Oz, but hot enough!

[1ozzy]

More humid than where I am though, country NSW.

I have a brother in-law lives in Thailand, are there many "redheads" there? I know there is at least one ;-/

[JJ109]

I can't remember the last time I saw one!

[1ozzy]

Well if you do see one say "G'day Collin", you're bound to be right ;-)

[JJ109]

Will do - G'day

[Euniceadi]

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I didn't expect to hear so soon as it's 16.45 Tuesday here in New South Wales, where I'm staying with family.

[1ozzy]

On holidays Euniceadi?

Mind if I ask where?

[JJ109]

You're welcome Eunice, G'day to you also!

My husband and I are staying with our family in Shellharbour; our son emigrated here ten years ago. I've been here five weeks and my husband two weeks. We have three small grandchildren, aged 7, 5 and 3 respectively and like to make ourselves useful while we're here. Sadly, we have to fly home in 13 days but at least it will be Spring in England then so it shouldn't be too cold.
