From Ringo and Chris
hello *K*! :) we thought we would send you a quick email...chris is taking very good care of me and i am being very well behaved..today i have spent my time saving all my energy for a marathon meowing session: i had some lovely pilchards for breakfast, which set me up nice for the day, and i preserved my energy by napping on your bed (which was very comfy indeed:) anyway....that enabled me to perform what i imagine was beautiful operatic soprano welcome when chris came to see me......now ive got myself all tired and im going to have to go and have a rest...hope everything is purrrrfect **MEEEEOWWW**
Response: Ah, Ringo, so lovely to hear from you! Do thank Chris for me and continue those beautiful operatic soprano welcomes (although don't scare him!) Hope you like the pic of your distant Mexican relation. He said he was your 2nd cousin twice removed.. :)

:O LEAVE MY NUTS ALONE!!! I mean OK I could've accepted a bag of nuts, which I feel is in itself a generous sentiment (on my behalf) considering that they were supposed to replace 6 months worth of alcoholic beverages, however I must draw the line at sharing said nuts. And don't go thinking that multiple bags of nuts will resolve this situation, I will own every nut you bring back to this most loathsome cut of English turf.
Response: Oh come on now Andy, I know you like to share your nuts around, and Chris is a very good friend of yours.. ;)
From chris
oh, oh, im reserving some peanuts on your return! :) *YUM*
Response: I'll bring you some from Mexico ;)
From a very dark and soul
Oh ye of most contemptous joy, heed my plea you did not, for it seems the fun I sought to dim has grow-en quite a lot. (I know, I know.. soo much talent, wasted I am.. wasted). Sounding pretty marvellous out there crazy K, a little advice on the Welsh though, avoid them at all costs not a pleasant people, ever so slightly primitive, often cannabalistic. Take care me dear, and keep hold of some cash, you owe us all 6 months worth of drinks!
Response: So very talented, you never fail to impress me Andy ;) I was thinking you would lavish me with alcohol cos you'd be so pleased to see me again! My budget will probably stretch to a bag of peanuts. Will that do? xx
From Chris & Vicky

From Sarah
Hello. Well this is my very first email i`ve ever sent, and now Phil says its not really an email which has ruined it a bit. Can`t fight technology any longer! Hope you`re having a fantastic time out there and we all miss you in sunny Ipswich. Spent some of this afternoon catching up on what you`re up to, can`t help but feel slightly jealous. Will now have to love you and leave you as I've taken rather a long time to write this and people are getting frustrated. Take care x
Response: Hi Sarah! So nice to hear from you. Very chuffed that I am the first person you've contacted via a computer! Very much looking forward to a cup of tea and a catch up in Berridges when I get back! xx
From Christopher :)
hey *K*

Response: Took lots of photos to bore you with when I return - not to worry! You should definately try skydiving - it is the most amazing rush. When your feet hit the ground you just want to go back up again! Got a DVD of the jump for you to see :)

Hey K :)

From Ellie
hey Katherine,
SE Asia sounds amazing and am thoroughly jealous of your travels!Have been checking your site regularly for your latest adventures in Oz and still no news! Have you been kidnapped by those pesky auzzies and forced to endure endless BBQ's?! Or have you been persuaded to appear in the special 20th aniversary episode of Neighbours?! Hmmm i'm puzzled! Maybe your having such a fantastic time you have forgotten your public that awaits your every word! Do you not realise that revision is driving me CRAZY and that i need 'Katherine breaks' so i can regain my sanity!!!The pictures are really cool by the way! continue to have fun and take care.
xx Ellie xx
Response: Hi Ellie! Ah, really pleased you like the site! Have been away from civilised world for 3 days, so unable to correspond. Not kidnapped by Aussies, but almost taken by Dingoes! I of course made sure I watched the 20th anniversary specials of Neighbours while here, and plan to visit the set while in Melborne (a bit sad I know!) Good luck with revision and take care xxxx
From Vicky
Hi K,
Sorry to hijack your page, but I am going to be running 5km in the Race for Life in Ipswich raising money for Cancer Research, so if anyone fancies sponsering me, even a £1 will do please check out my website:

thankyou! Vicky
Response: Go ahead my darling.. :)
From Susie and Ben
Hi K!!!! Can't believe you are swanning off around the world without a thought for the rest of us in rainy, boring old blighty. All sounds fab - but have to admit to being a little concerned about these needles that everyone keeps refering to?! Can't wait to see all your pics and read the next installment - it has brought us some international cheer on this miserable tuesday evening.
Lots of love and good luck from S & B xxxxxxx
PS Ben is a little too interested to know how foxy the thai women are for my liking!
Response: Hello! Great to hear from you! Yeah, there are loads of gorgeous petite Asian women! I feel like a giant walking around here and I can't buy any clothes because none of them fit me! Chris gave me some clean needles because you are advised to take them to SE Asia, because if you have to go into hosp in some places they use recycled needles. Better to be safe then sorry! Let me know about wedding plans and new house.. kathow@gmail.com xxx
From mister christopher
im in a stuffy english office. i am officially a capatalist pig! so to comfort myself checked out your happenings! Koh Tao sounds like as good place as any to chill for a while-you gotta let us know what the diving and snorkeling courses are like-id think pretty awe inspiring views are to be had!
i have to ask cuz i geeky-but-whats the local music (and scene like?)-id think pretty ecclectic seeing that theres loads of backpackers coming and going.....HEAVEN!
i shall leave you with this image-i am about to sneak out of work early (YAY) to sit in a traffic jam for about 1hr.30 till i sludge back into the poo of ipswich.....big happy face! hehe :)
hope those needles are still unused young lady-keep us poor suffering epsilons informed! take care-
xx
Response: Hello you!
I've been here for 3 weeks, but every Monday morning I still smile at the thought of everyone sitting at their desks! :)
The atmos is really special - chilled out in some bars and parties in others. So good as you can go wherever the mood takes you..
Getting a little sick of Morcheeba and Bob Marley already, but really enjoying
Jack Johnson and Pete Murray - played alot out here. Will send some CDs back to Ipswich... Needles still unused, and I will keep it that way! Loads of love :) xxx
From Phil
Hey You
Well, sounds as if you're having a cracking time young Katherine! Elephant trekking, rafting...makes work feel even more mundane! Just to make me feel really envious, I hope you're taking lots of great pics of all the things you see and do.
Nice work by the way with the cocktail bars...hope a few White Russians were involved!
Stay in touch and keep me posted with all your fun and games you're having you lucky thing...
Love Phil x
ps. You'll be shocked to hear that I'm missing out on photographing Lemar on Wednesday - I'll be in the bright lights of Hamburg on 'business'...how yuppie does that sound!
Response: Hello! Am taking loads of pics, but I doubt they are up to your standard ;)
'On business' eh? Just make sure you raid the mini bar xxx
From Mum
I am with you every step of the way!!
Love
Mum xxxxxxxx
Response: I really think you are - keep pointing out the different bourgainvilleas to Vena and telling her to smell the Jasmine. She thinks I'm crazy!
From Vicky (your sister)
