Round the World Trip

Monday 29th June 2009
It was pretty quiet in the Café today, there just didn’t seem to be many people about, we reckon they will all come into town tomorrow as there is a lottery draw worth $90 Million and the whole country is talking about it.
We have decided that if we are fortunate enough to win it, we will not let it change us.

We will still embark on that round the world trip that we have got planned for just after Wednesday lunchtime, unfortunately we haven’t got time to pop out and get the tickets until Wednesday morning otherwise we would have left earlier.
Carolyn has gone down with a cold and is feeling very sorry for herself, she didn’t come into work today in an effort to rest and help it clear up.
There was no Cubs tonight for Kristian, they are going to take part in a joint meeting with the Scouts tomorrow night.

Why is Fraser not Anthony anymore????

We get asked this a fair bit from the folks and friends back in the UK, so we explain..... Anthony was supposed to be Fraser but as we drove to hospital (yuk spit) in labour we realised his initials would be FA not great from a football point of view nor another you may think of, so Mr Hojo in his wisdom decided to swap the names around. Mrs Hojo was busy and should have said no, but there you go, she was busy producing offspring in a short staffed, worse than mediocre hospital that leaves people alone for hours on end when they really should be tucked up in a half empty ward, bitter? me? you noticed. Anyhow, Fraser has heard this story a few times, more as we were visiting the relatives one last time before we left the Uk for Oz and piped up that if his Mum wanted me called Fraser them I am.
And that was that.
We started in a new country and all remembered his name, easy as pie.
So now you know.
You know what, he really SHOULD have been called Fraser, it suits. And no one will ever call him Tony, thats a good thing :o)
