quitting smoking. A good day to yourself, and I'll be seeing you later!

Morning! No, you didn't wake me up at all! The little birds woke me up at 5.30 again but then went straight back to sleep and have just gotten up. I kinda like the birdie wake up call. So is all good

I thought I'd just stay at home and read today, if I go to town I might given into buying smokes and I don't want to risk it. I have to make a real effort at quitt...

(wow, somebody ate the rest of my message!) get up and out, I didn't hear you at all! The birdies woke me up at 5 AM but then I slept right till 8 AM. The house seems empty without you

Morning Kylie! When did you ge

Kylie, I finally booked the flights. The one arriving at Sydney is rubbish, in Sydney on 20 at 06.35 already. Shite! I know that's way too early but there were no great alternatives. I can wait at the airport though if you can't make it so early, I'll be just happy to look around and explore. I don't want to put you off!!

Happy Birthday Charm!!! I hope you're having a lovely day today, and will do some hardcore partying this weekend xxx

Happy Birthday Mexicola! I hope you get loads of bookish pressies and have a fabulous time

Yo CW, I don't mean to be a pain in the backside but I still haven't heard from you

No, I haven't gotten any e-mail from you If you could try resending it again.

Hi CW, how are you doing today? Good I hope I sent you an e-mail yesterday, did you get it?

BTW, I'm just reading the 4th book of the Dexter saga. I just love Lindsay's style, such a witty writer

I like this day very much. I hope you do, too!

I'm not at all happy to hear that you've been feeling rough today! Has it gotten any better by now? *loads of hugs*

Hi CW, I just sent you a hotmale

Hi Abby! I've been busy lately, I visited my parents last week and there was a housewarming party and the 80s&90s party I've been talking about last weekend. Good times! What have you been up to my luv?

I've just learnt (from the Biggest Loser show) that you guys eat kangaroo, I had no idea! They're such sweet fellas, I didn't think people would eat them. Although I hear they can be pretty feisty animals too.

PS. I've been watching loads of episodes of the Australian Biggest Loser season 9 today and I'm really loving the show. I think the people seem more real to me than in the US version because I've watched so much of American reality TV and I've grown too accustomed to it, therefore this new discovery of mine seems more genuine I don't even notice the accent anymore!

Yay it worked. Around 0.57 minutes you can hear the woman pronouncing 'r', that's how we do it over here So you can just say 'sari' the cloth with a more rolled 'r' and you've got it

... the 'i' is short in my name. Also, the 'r' is pronounced in a different way, we roll it a lot more. Let me see if I can attach a link to this message, there's a woman pronouncing different Finnish consonants. http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=m160nIWKbzM&feature=related

Hiya, how's today been treating you? It's 37,2 C over here, it's the highest temperature ever recorded in Finland! I'm just sweating like a pig. Btw, did you mean you really have a bit of Swedish blood in you?

About the pronunciation of my name. You know how to pronounce 'sari', the cloth they wear in Eastern Asia? Well it's basically the same, except that ...

Happy Birthday Ben, I hope you have an awesome day!

As much as I would love chatting to you more, I must be off, it's 4 AM here and I need my beauty sleep (to be able to compete with the ****** Swedes!!) Good night to me, and a great day to you my dear <3

Well why should you know how to spell Finnish Must be confusing, having both a Markus and a Markku!

That's a typical Swede girl for you, they're so beautiful there's no denying. The Swedish guys are really cute as well Actually, you remind me so much of a Finnish girl I know it's crazy! And don't sell yourself short, you're beautiful!

Imdb'ed the guy, his bro is Christopher Masterson but! I've just realised I'm confusing him with Neil Patrick Harris who was in Stark Raving Mad, an excellent comedy about a thriller writer (who was played by the ever so great Tony Shalhoub, the Monk!)

Ah, I read your last message first and then noticed the previous one. Are you sure you got the name right because Markuu is not a Finnish name? Perhaps you mean 'Markus' or, more likely, 'Markku'? If the latter, I don't blame you for not getting it right, the kk's are both pronounced and English does not have any word that would have double k's.
