A picture post

I guess by the visits we are getting people still want blog posts, and as we haven't managed a proper one in, oooh a month or two here are some more pics to keep you going.

We went to the Ugg shop in Dunsborough to check out the price of Cardi Uggs for Vic and accidentally bought me a top and skirt :o)

The cake, thanks again H.

Christmas day on the beach with friends, no Fraser and Ian, they were in A&E for 2 hours as Fraser is determined to be allergic to stingers.

This is what happened on Christmas eve, don't ask!!!

This also happened Christmas Eve, snigger, sorry B!

Maybe in honour of our 16th wedding anniversary on the 8th Jan we will get Kristian to take a pic of us as well.
Fraser and Marisa are in Cataract Park, Sydney for the 2010 Australian Scout Jamboree and shan't be seen again until the 15th, no photos sadly but many a scary tale I suspect.

It must have just passed midnight in the UK as Skype is kindly reminding me my Mum should be celebrating her 67th birthday. Yeah. Great. Miss you xx

Maybe you could just blog once a week as you are all so busy?

Then you could fill us in on key events like when Marisa got bitten by a radioactive spider which gave her the superhuman ability to climb walls?!!

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)
