I knew I should have got the xL one for the larger SLR. Alternatively, you could always trade the SLR in for a compact at the next Jessops. Damn.

Great to finally hear that it is you sending messages and texts. About bloody time that one of my brothers took some interest! Admitedly, yes it can be sometimes rather taxing putting fingers to the keyboard after a few days cycling, but once you start it is actually quite enjoyable. The problem we have, however is that we both have v different writing styles and I may see something different to the way Simon does...tit for tat ensues! So, I think from now on in we are going to take turns... Can't believe Elsie hasn't arrived yet. Nice to know that Thomas is already giving her the run around through Bruisers belly though. He needs to establish his big brother status from early on. How was Vic's party? Was it a big surprise having Tim turn up? Please send him my best also. Loved getting your text message but we weren't blessed with the bum wind that day..only headwinds and we fear that this is all we are going to get between now and Argentina! Will be posting another blog soon. Love to you all. Jen xxxxxxxxxx Moon! Great to finally hear that it is you sending messages and texts.

Can’t believe Elsie hasn’t arrived yet. Nice to know that Thomas is already giving her the run around through Bruisers belly though. He needs to establish his big brother status from early on.

How was Vic’s party? Was it a big surprise having Tim turn up? Please send him my best also.

However, with the weight of the SLR it tended to droop. So alas a regular tripod was chosen; which is a shame seeing as it looked somewhat interesting with it's unique shaping and flirty three-way action ;-) I guess we'll be using it with the small digicam.

I'm interested to know whether the really throughtful present we bought you has actually been useful or whether the apparent gratefulness you showed was a sham and, really, you threw it in a drawer before you left.
