Happy birthday Julia

Here's Julia having a little rest in the hammock Nick bought us for Christmas. She's reading the personal classified looking for a new partner and family which is the present she REALLY wants for her 52nd birthday on Tuesday - just joking, I think..

Julia, Dom and I are just packing (Saturday night) to head up to Molong tomorrow (central NSW) for a two-day course in riding off-road bikes. We get to sleep in the shearers' quarters on a farm and we've spent the day cooking excellent meals which we're currently freezing. Julia is considering getting her motorcycle license again with a view to an adventure from Hanoi up to the Chinese border (take that, Stu and Marianne!) when we go over there again in the middle of the year. Julia has noticed in the planning that prices have risen in Vietnam in just 12 months - the sooner you all go the better. We had a bit of a birthday dinner last Friday night with Amanda and Jules got two tickets to the live version of Spicks and Specs at the comedy festival. It's one of her favourite shows and we're all on our best behaviour, each of us hoping we'll be the one she picks...

You'se people live like KINGS! Why it's almost as if you had no children to support. Your trip to Vietnam sounds great - Marianne and I are planning a similar trip riding penny-farthings from Paris to Machu-Pichu so we'll keep you in the loop

I can just imagine what Black would be saying about visits to to these quasi dangerous locations like Molong.Sounds like an enjoyable course and a great bike ride.In 4 years time I'll be trying to cadge a place in any such adventures-stockmarket permitting.Hope you had a great bday Julia.

I forgot to say "Happy Birthday", Julia, so because I apparently stutter a lot (not "alot") these days ,"Happy Birthday". I was very impressed that you were brushing up on "the Art of Football"! We are never too old to learn!
