okay, i just spent the last 20 minutes signing on to yahoo and losing at literati, but give me some time .... ...my name is "makleap" and I'll probably get some practice in on the beginners page on the weekend.

meantime, happy 10th of february street, Ross

Glad your bees have left. We're thinking about you. I said a prayer for you at church on Sunday.

Great idea Ross & Shurli - it means we get to finish the conversation when visiting since the phone doesn't ring so much!

Thanks for the access to your journals. We're thinking of you and praying a good outcome from your treatment

all our love

David, Tina and Lloyd

This journal is a great idea Ross. We'll be keeping an eye on your progress, which will be upwards and onwards, and I'm praying for you lots.

Great page Ross, we're all thinking of you hear in Wellington! Much love, take care, Michael.

Good morning brother, I agree, this is a great way to keep up to date. Don't know why my home server wouldn't connect with your site, I'll try again tonite. This is my last day at work, and apart from coming home to the family, I'm so looking forward to having a break from here. Will update you over the next couple of days. The swarm of bee's reminded me of my childhood. It was common to get them in Laingholm and Dad being a bee keeper type person would rug up and smoke them into a box and then into ANOTHER hive down the back. I'd like a dollar for every sting he's had in my lifetime. Ok I better go and make another million for the boss. Rest up, see you tomorrow. love Maree xoxox

Oops..."here in Wellington"

Good stuff, Ross. Hey - any word yet on government subsidies for facial hair wigs...?

Glad to hear the drugs haven't had too strong side effects.

Hi Ross this is a wonderful idea of yours. Terribly shocked of course when you informed us of your situation. we wish you all the best in your recovery and will be thinking of you every moment. I see you have not lost your sence of humour, Annie says she might not have grown a tail but she knows what it's like to lose one. We will do our very best to come and see you when you we are free of the silly season and can take some time off.
Love and positive thoughts from Robert & Anne-Shirley

Keep the updates coming Cousi - I'm keen to know where you are at, including the warts. I'm sure everyone else is too.

Hope you get more of this great weather at the bay... Will see you when you get back.

Oh that prednisone makes you feel invincible! Until you drop off the other end... I think the bay will be a much more satisfactory high. Michael and I are getting the Napier DVD's today - to do a test run for Dave Birdling and give feedback on ease of menu use etc. We shall be glued to them. I'll let you know how it looks. Pxx

You look good here, Ross. It's been a couple of years, so Mary and I were hoping for a photo of you in your English garden or something, but...oh well. Appreciate that you've kept the tail under the covers.....

Hi Ross!
This blog is an excellent idea ... we can even keep an eye on your up here in the UK! My only comment: is it possible to have the entries so that the most recent appears at the top of the screen, rather than the first? I can see after a wee while we'll have a lot to scroll through! Anyway, John and I are wishing you well ... and love to Dee, too ...... Gabi x
