  3. hey mate, only just figured out how to send you a message! Been checking your blog every few days to see where you are, I hope you had a nice night in the hotel in Morrocco. Me and Adam just read your recent post about Laura taking a bit of a pounding (although I think Adam was distracted abuot the Italian team cooking you pasta!) Hopefully now you've offloaded some stuff she'll handle the terain better. Nothing much going on her, I'll update the guys at work with your progress. You look happy and that's a good sign, as long as I know you're ok. I miss you lots, onward and upward Mclean. Speak soon xx
