Hey Sandra ....thought i would let you know that it has been raining here and blowing a f****ing gale...for two days running but now i got away from that and this morning i woke to beautiful sunshine ,no rain, nearly blue skies, no wind ,temperature climbing and of course the friendly little sandflies and the likes starting to come out to play!!!. I mean i really wish i could send some of this great weather up there to you guys but as you know that is beyond my mere mortal powers...but if i could i would . Anyway i am going " bush " again tomorrow and so getting ever closer to "middle earth" but still no sighting of them bloody hobbits or orcs or that f***ing dark mountain...but then it is pretty hard when there is sunshine all around..

Adios.....kia kaha.......Brian
