Please give him my regards too and say get well soon.

Spoke to him last night at some ungodly hour and the 110 was safely tucked up at the docks ready to come home. Bren is now in Singapore and should be home soon. It will be good to be in the same time zone and not have sleep disrupted. As for the wish for somewhere hot and dry, I think with the excha...

Spent 7 months running around the Australia outback. Apart from loosing a fill have had no problems. Today prepping the 110 for shipping back to UK I twisted my knee. It is sore! No idea how I did it! Sounds like a Psychosomatic problem to me... it's your mind/body trying to give you an excuse to s...

Out here in Oz, mobile phones cover 95% of population but only 90% of the land area. So big black holes exist. 3g, phones are apparently better but still have black holes. Is this a typo Bren, cos if it isn't the 10% of the land area not covered must have been where I was in the summer, cos I don't...

I suppose it would be sensible and prudent at this stage to say thank you to Barbara for being my PA, my IT consultant, part time navvy and a better cook then Jon. She also ensured that my affairs run reasonably smothly back in the UK whilst I enjoyed my short holiday Learning wisdom at last eh Bre...

I am beginning to think I made a mistake in insisting on heading north when I was there in the summer, maybe we should have headed out to the middle bit.
Mind you I suppose the fact that I haven't been gives us a really good excuse to go back, not that Bren will need one.

I enjoy seeing the pictures and what I am missing, though I will admit I think I might have been a bit phased by the Simpson desert so close to it being closed as it is perceived as too dangerous in the summer months. What I am wondering is will we ever get free of that red dust in the 110 and will ...

We parted company yesterday evening in Changi Airport, Bren flew east with Jon and I flew west back to work tomorrow. The pair of them are in Darwin, getting Jon kitted out with a Mossy tent and catching up on the lack of sleep, they had a flight that landed at 4.30 in the morning! The cunning plan ...

Did you get her name?

One thing for certain she didn't have a sense of smell!

Thinking of packing some vacuum bags to hermetically seal the sandals for the duration of the stay in Singapore.

I enjoy the photos too, it puts some of the phone conversations we have into context.
He probably won't admit it but I think he is missing my inane babble too.

Yep that's the one! He had to phone me as well to make sure I didn't go into total worry mode :wink: He is obviously missing his IT support team. :lol: Spoke to him yesterday and he is off to the Bungle Bungles, think he is finding it a tad warm tho. 27 degrees at 7a.m. and humidity has been up at 9...

At last the tyre arrived (took over a week) and he has hit the road again. He has been getting grumpier and grumpier with the enforced stay in Darwin. And I thought I was the impatient one! He is heading off to the Kimberleys and the Gibb River Road so there might be some more photos to show when he...

I'm back in the real world now and already missing the wide open spaces. Bren has now headed west into the Northern Territories with a view to going into the Kimberleys and doing the Gibb River before he sees me in Singapore in October. And despite Bren saying I would get bored with them, I never ti...

You're not the only one that's jealous, just wish I was there too. Ah well not long till the 19th July and hopefully I will have my pot off by then so I won't get plagued by sand.
