Tallyho ! Nick Danger, RAF, about to down a Jerry

One down, eleven to go

January is already behind us - wow - and I'm exhausted. Shannon and Daphne spent the last ten days with us and we undertook some serious house maintanience with them. Scraped, sanded, primered, and repainted our deck which was getting to be a:

• hazard


• embarassment


• ugly dilipidated monstrosity

Looks fantastic. When we weren't swaeting in the tropical January sun we had a Kung Hee Fat Choi, lots of surf and watched a lot of TV on the he-yew-guh plasma that we snagged thanks to Kim's mondo bonus this past year
