yours always,

Oh and here's an email i sent some people recently, though not sure if everyone got it...

I can't believe there's almost only 4 (3 now!!) months till Christmas - eek! (holy smoking banditos Batman!)
Not much news to report here - We (flatmate and I) are booking tickets to Vietnam for October and I might have the same days off as her next month so we can do weekend trips around Japan.

NOTE: (well that all went to pot since she went and got engaged and I've seen hide nor hair of her since, well maybe a hair, but that's about it - and also there's only 3 months till Christmas - did I mention that? And since I want to do Camp America next year I've gotta start saving.....after the trip to Vietnam that is :)

Also transfering to my home branch in October, which means no trains, i can just walk there - yay! And also join the hip hop dance class at the gym - wouldn't dare at home, but here I can use my lack of language skills as explanation for uncordination.

My flatmate tried to get me to join the ballet class with her (skinny beanstalk of a girl), but I said no way. I mean can you imagine? well I'd look ridiculous now wouldn't I? Like a blimmin flying potato!

hee hee, oh there is a man that does that class though. Great strapping bulk of a thing he is too - Iyou'd never catch a man back home doing that now would you! I heard the All Blacks do it mind - good for flexibility.

The men here are very strange though, all skinny and wiry with pointy shoes and spiky orange hedgehog hair....and disturbingly fond of the colour pink. saw one of them with a bright FUSCHIA colured singlet on the other day.

Not to mention one with not only a Louis Vuitton handbag, but a DOG in it as well!

Ah the joys of travelling. Well I must be off, but please write and let me know how you are.

NOTE: Well I didn't join the hip hop class as my schedules different now, but I have bought a book on yoga and been learning about meditation would you believe! Well c'mon I mean with a name like Fern Phoenix Love and hippies for parents it was only a matter of time before I became one myself now wasn't it :)

Love you all heaps,

oh and I can't wait to see all these babies that are popping out all over the place when I get home - my god do they not sell televisions in New Zealand people?! Hee hee, only kidding, CONGRATULATIONS Kara and Liam! I promise to write soon.

yours always, Fernleaf
