From Axbridge to Australia the HoJo way: Looking A Bit Better

Friday 21st August 2009
Carolyn was off work again today with her snotty breathing problems, the Café was busy but we are getting so used to working short staffed that apart from a couple of occasions we ticked over quite nicely.
The kids went to Freaky Friday this evening as usual while Carolyn relaxed with a book and Ian worked on the computer.
Carolyn is looking a bit better this evening and as we should be fully staffed tomorrow, she should be able to relax over the weekend and be fit for work next week.

A Brief Service Announcement

Hi and welcome to our family blog. We both contribute here, so we write in the third person, unless Carolyn is doing one of her picture posts. It is just how we do things around here. You'll get used to it, we have :o) We love having visitors, and comments are great, but please, Anonymous? if you are posting anon, or don't have a blog to link to, thats fine, you are just as welcome here but please, sign or initial your comments so we don't feel like you are a robot.

Cheers

Ian and Carolyn
And the kids.
And the pets.

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)
