i'm back and i missed you

hello, i'm back. had a great time but came back sicky poo. chest infection thanks to massage girl who coughed and sneezed all over me. i have a certain infection from the antibiotics, hmmmm and a bit of a tummy problem. (read the poos). on top of all that i'm nauseous as all get out. but besides that i feel fab. the weather is heating up here this week but over there we had so much rain. the streets flooded on a regular basis and despite this we had beach days and swam a fair bit. ate lots of carbs and lost a kilo if you can believe that. amazing. didn't get married. have problems with his religion or changing mine or something like that. stayed home from work on friday coz of nausea. spent much too much money, had two plane trips from hell. never come back to oz through melbourne. omg everyone and their dog arrived that day and it took nearly three hours to get through. yes, i do not lie. i've put photos on picasa http://picasaweb.google.com/yevisha/Bali2008 hope the link works. i'm tanned as ever. my skin was lovely over there. dewy and glowing come to mind. it's starting to dry out now. news about maz. her baby dog died on friday and she's heartbroken. then friday night she rang crying and asked me to help her bury him. omg i am the last person you should ask to do something like this. it was horrible. he was stiff and when she moved him the smell was horrible. she'd already dug the hole and she carried him. the dirt had to be soaked coz it was so hard and was mixed with large stones. i covered him over and then mazz came down and fell in the mud. it was horrible. poor thing. then today she asked me to go with her to get a tattoo with his name on it. she is so brave she didn't flinch once. the tattooist was irish and we couldn't understand a thing he said. his head was tattooed and he did a great job. i was going to get another one of a balinese symbol but i couldn't find a good pic. my printer isn't working atm so i couldn't show him what i wanted. they've gone up a lot since i got my first one about twelve years ago. oh well enough of my rambling. here's a pic of the tattoo i want only smaller and in a henna colour. at this point in time anyway. hope you are all well and happy and i'll talk soon. i've been trying to get to all of your pages and haven't been to everyone's yet. mandy, i love the cartoon on your page. brilliant. :O
