Time to catch up. i know we have had a few off line chats but thought I'd take the time for a catch up. Well, to start with Mrs s and i have been without water and kitchen for the last 3 weeks here at home as we have started the refurb on 77. at the moment we only have the study untouched, floors up in the front room, wall down between the kitch and loung, floors and ceilings up/down in the entire rear of the house- no floorboards or joists. therefore no plumbing or lecky ! am living off a kettle and amicrowave in the study. We have no external rear walls and the rear lean to roof has gone as well so open to the elements.doors to the old back room now bricked off and the kitchen door which will lead to the new rear room is boarded up. You have a spot of rain - hah!! floors and u/floor heating start this week so we will have flooring once finished. had to sack the kitchen guy this week so we have to start all over again in the kitchen search. But once done should be the db's. Nicola is announced her engagement and the date is now set so its all out warfare sorting out photographers, cars caterers dress etc etc, Lisa landed in vietnam on tuesday having had the last 3 weeks in Delhi, Goa and Mumbai - fantastic blog if you get a chance to read it. - lisa@tomcoleman.co.uk... she is now travelling through vietnam onto Laos and cambodia ending up in thailand around the end of september where Mrs s and myself will meet,wash,clothe and finance her on the next leg. Jo has decided to give up the executive life style and is off to ski chalet host in france for 6months, I blame you sewing the seed of adventure LOL !!! Spoke to DAR during the week - all is well that end and he is in the process of moving house. keeepyou posted. Not long left now till your triumphant return which we are alllooking forward to. Spanish is still a bit dodgy though its got to be said !! Time has past by very quickly for us here but you are still a warm topic of conversation the in southhousehold. Will keep you updated as we build and travel. Big love TJ
Judge it's always great to hear from you and the South Family. I saw the renovations on Lisa's blog, it reminds me of my army days from what i can see, you and Mrs South are down to basics. I am sure when it is all finished it will be well worth it.
I have been trying to leave a message on Lisa's blog but i am having difficulty. Vietnam should be a great experience for her.
The south house hold has an action packed year ahead, if there is anything i can help with please don't hesitate to ask.
I spoke to Dar last week and he tells me all is well with him and Sam in the new place.
Judge this year has flown past, upon my return we shall have a proper debrief. I have 2 and half months left. I must admit i am keen to come back home and get on with my life.
Please send my love and regards to Mrs South and the Southets, give them all a kiss on the cheek for me, keep in touch and i look forward to seeing you upon my return.
No way Mr J i have to see this through to the end. I have to admit i am bored at times but that's because i am just watching the pennies. I have to finish my time in Latin America. When have you ever known me not to complete what i have started.

Your man in Latin America
I thought i wrote long messages but this beats me hands down !!!! Information overload star !!!!!
Must say Don, your sounding pretty bored out there now, would you consider coming back early ?
No way Mr J i have to see this through to the end. I have to admit i am bored at times but that's because i am just watching the pennies. I have to finish my time in Latin America. When have you ever known me not to complete what i have started.
Your boy in Panama
Mr Dee you always with your funny comments, hahahah.
Don Maybe your last months in Latin América will be more funny. And yes I agree with, you should always finish what you start, good.
I have not doubt Mr Simon will most definitely finish what he started Claud......in more ways than one (lol)
Yes Mr Dee, at the end he will feel, the enormous satisfaction of having met the target, with joys and difficulties. Good for him
Claud, are we still taking about his traveling or something else ??? LOL
Of course about his travel Mr Dee :)
