Hello again to all our friends!

We have missed you all very much during this long period without regular contact. Thanks to those who have let us know that they miss hearing from us.

So much has happened since we last sent an update. We will fill in the gaps piece by piece over the next months as best we can. Hopefully, putting up photos on our website soon can help make up for lost time.

The bad news is that our laptop computer died. That was three months ago and the service center still can't tell us what is wrong! This was perhaps the largest single reason that our correspondence routine was finally broken. Once it broke,
there was no time left to rebuild it. The good news is that the reason there was no time to recover our routine was because so many great things have been going on.

Here are some teasers of what's happened since last update...

• We had a wonderful visit to Sydney where we celebrated Katy and Nick White's wedding (hello guys!)
• Global Hand held a consultation in Hungary which Matt attended
• Boz (Andrew Boak) came to stay for a few days
• Georgina (Ad's sister) came to stay for a few weeks
• Matt turned 25
• Nic Carter joined the Global Hand team
• We are building an aviary on our balcony
• We finally decided that we will stay in Hong Kong until the end of 2004!

That's all for now. Stay tuned as we return to regular weekly programming!
