Hi Frankie!

Did I wake you up this morning? I made quite a bit more noise today. I hope you have a great day.

Back at work today after a wonderful break

Yaaaaaaay! I must admit I was getting a bit worried that you wouldn't be able to get a flight. Now it really really feels real. You most certainly will not be made to wait at the airport for me! I will be there to meet you.

Happy Birthday Charm! I hope you're having a lovely day.

Thanks for letting me know! Did you like it enough to go back and read the first two?

Happy Birthday for yesterday!

Hi Laura! I hope you're well. *hugs*

Happy Birthday Nursenblack! Have a great day.

Happy Birthday Mexicola! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Looking forward to seeing pets at the animal shelters tomorrow!

Happy Birthday! I hope you have a lovely day today.

Hi Abby!

Thanks for thinking of me! I'm doing a bit better now. I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend. What have you got planned? How's the knee holding up? *hugs* to you.

Kangaroo isn't eaten very often here, but I think it's going to get more popular in future. Most people don't want to eat 'Skippy'. (Did you ever see that TV show? It was a very popular show about a kangaroo called Skippy who was very helpful.)

I've only eaten it a few times and only recently. It's very lean meat and very good for you.

Oh wow, I just watched the YouTube clip. I will never be able to pronounce your name because I can't roll my r's at all. Are there are any Finns who can't roll their r's? It would be very awkward for them I imagine.

Sorry, I didn't reply to your last few messages. Yes, I have Swedish blood in me, which I think is pretty cool. Most Australians (including me) have English and Irish ancestors, so it makes me feel a little more special having something else there too. Haha.

I did the walk and was pleased just to finish. I ran for maybe a couple of hundred metres near the beginning but quickly realised I should just take it easy or I'd never finish. It was a very nice stroll and a beautiful day for it, but my legs and feet are still aching a lot 2 days later!

Oh I hope your OH isn't in pain. I hate getting sunburnt. I'm glad you had a great time though. I'm doing well. I'm going for a 14km run/walk (mostly walk) on the weekend so I'm trying to psyche myself up because I've never done anything like this before!

Hi Andrea! Just popping in to say hello and see how you're doing. I hope you're well.

Happy Birthday Katrina! I hope you're having a lovely day and that you'll get to relax instead of being run off your feet like you usually are.

Hi Inver, I'm well thanks. The weather is reasonably cool so I'm keeping warm as best I can. I'm glad to see your swimming is still going well. I'm always stunned to read about how many laps you can swim. I know I would struggle to do one! How are things with you?

Happy Birthday Ben! Do you have any special plans?

4am?! Wow, I thought it was midnight or something. Good night (morning) Frankie. Sleep well!

Aw, thanks Funnily enough, that Facebook photo of yours makes you look so much like one of my best friends from primary school.

I've been meaning to ask about the pronunciation of your name for ages. It seems simple but I'm so bad at pronouncing things...does the first part rhyme with car?

Oh, yes, that's right. It's Markku. See, I can't even spell in Finnish. The other Finn is named Markus.

Haha. There's an ad playing TV at the moment that shows two blonde, blue-eyes, busty Swede girls, so I know what you mean.

Apparently I have some Swedish in me. I like my nice blue eyes (about the only thing I like about myself) but I'm no good-looking Swede, that's for sure!
