Liv's 2008 World Journey

awesome blog update - just had to put the tea tally in there didnt you... hehe

enjoy being hissed at! (might go well with that cat photo we have of u in london...)

almost fel off my chair at the sight of "Liv has updated her blog" hehe. very cool tho, liked the autumy pics!

i keep meeting english people who crack up laughing when I tell them I purposely chose to spend Christmas in London... "You will freeze!" "It'l be grey and rainy" and just "oh really? Why?" hehe but I think its gonna be awesome!!!

good luck in the search for your scottish husband!

Great to read of your activities!! Yes i am one who can say she has rung church bells also!! It is a great experience. Enjoy Scotland -- Jess is somewhere in Edinburgh now I think - her UK mobile is 00447768145522- she would love to see you. Sooooo pleased you are doing a BA nursing-- please make sure you use me as a resource. I too lived in Parnell when training at Auckland Hospital!!

Oi taina, when will you be in East Africa? I'll be in Tanzania for a work trip (yes, lovin' it!) from around 16-27 Jan. Would love to catch up!

Thanks for the blog and photos of cousins and autumn. Pohutukawas on waterfront opposite Swiss cafe just starting to flower!!. NZ dollar still falling against pound which is good for you and tourists to NZ.

Lots of love

Hi there young lady,

good to hear you'll soon be on your way again. Say hi to East Africa for us, will ya! You'll love the diving at Fumba on Zanzibar if you get a chance.

By the way, whaddya mean NZ missed out on a proper autumn: You just grew up in the seaon-less Far North, try Central Otago or Canterbury in March, April and May! Glorious!

Cheers from the Desert Foxes, and Merry Christmas and all that.

Scotish husband ..... please,you're overlookin the good stuff, get an irishmen, they sound better and they arent ginga!!!! turty-tree & a turd! haha miss ya xoxxo

Hi

I am writing this on behalf of Tusks who is very excited to hear that he will be living inParnell next year! ( And Blue hopes he will be lodging there too for a while, and being nursed by a new trainee if he needs it! )

Glad you are off on more travels. (We may be too next year but that's another story as they say...)

from Luisa and Henri.

You are HILARIOUS Liv!

I have vague memories of Bath - being baths (good ol' mum must have generously paid our entry fee) and the front doors of famour people (who I had probably never heard of).

i cant believe your prefere your mums package sending over mine! i mean, just cos mine arnt exactly highly useful... at least im not too stingy to buy proper envelopes....

p.s that was the most mammoth (why does that look like its spelt wrong) update ive ever seen!! :P

paihia is sunny at last! just delivered your indian recipe book (from when you were assistant chef) to your house so you can practice making chai masala and chapatis (in funny voice). have you met prince william yet? xx

Hi Liv

Great blog update and loved the photos - so good to see you making the most of EVERYTHING! Good for you. Reservation made for Lamphu Hse in Bangkok for next week so thanks for that.. meanwhile we are off to the Bay of Islands for 48 hours, rain (again)notwithstanding..

What a lovely famiy it looks like you have on all your photos - I am proud to be part of the extended whanau!

That Auckland student we both know and love finally used up a bit of her energy on an evening of soccer practice this week - what a relief for all concerned!! Actually she is a big help to me right now, catching up on office work, but I have to endure travel craving attention span losses from her from time to time!!

Go well,

love from Doug and I,

Jane xx
