Hello again friends and family.

Well, we're back and thankfully our GP has now given Joseph a complete clean bill of health. He's back to his normal happy and chattering self. Our doctor assured us that his treatment in Thailand was thorough and appropriate, although had he been in the UK they would have let us go home earlier.

We're really glad to be back, a bit jaded, but supported by good friends. It's good to be surrounded by the familiar again.

So now we're on to final preparations for Sri Lanka. Friends to see, a few things to sort on our house, finances etc; visas are now applied for and our send off is almost prepared. After the weekend we're off to see Sarah's parents, then my family before we head for the sun.

Any of you who want to keep in touch with us out in Sri Lanka by cheap phone calls can do so for free using Skype - look it up on Google, download the free software and type our email address into the advanced search, then add us to your contacts and give us a call when we're on line. You'll need to buy a cheap headset (headphones with microphone) to make the call.

That's all for now. We'll probably update this site sometime next week.
