Hi Anna!

On Sunday November 01 1992, Anna Trahair wrote a message to Ian Howard:

 AT> Oh you're quite a lot behind then aren't you? :-)

I usually am :-)

 AT> wish was to see the the sunrise one last time and Blake took her to
 AT> the beach one morning and just after the sun comes up, she dies in his
 AT> arms...

<Sniff> - So sad!  We are just getting to that bit now.  Do tell me more about how it progresses from there.  BTW I beleive Neighbours has finished now down under ?  Could you tell me what happens at the end it that so I can astound my friends at school ! :-)

 IH>> been going out with someone for nearly 2 years but it ended a
 IH>> week or so ago <sniff>.
 AT> Ohhhh...you poor boy :-(

Well to be quite honest I am fine now and having the time of my life !

 AT> Well actually me and my boyfriend met over a
 AT> bulletin board so it seemskind of appropriate to me hehehe...I think
 AT> we've been going out for about 6 months now...

Over here there are a couple of local bulletin boards that are run by couples and you never know, perhaps you might do that someday eh ?  I run my own FidoNet system and one at school and although it is hard work it is great fun - you should think about doing it!

 AT> At the moment I've got about three songs that I play all the
 AT> time...They're all kind of long and I haven't been playing them long
 AT> enough to memorize them totally yet...

I am trying to expand my collection but I find it hard to discipline myself to sit down and play.  At the moment I just play when the mood takes me.  I like playing blues music on the piano and have just got a new piece that I really like.

 AT> Sounds fun! I'm taking tomorrow off and then the next day is a public
 AT> holiday...why you might ask? We get a public holiday for a horse
 AT> race...cool yeah?

Sounds great!  Out of interest which particular horse race is it and why is it so special ?  I am now back at school <groan> but as I said before it's bearable and the social side makes up for the piles of work we seem to get.


 AT> France and other parts of Europe...and Australia is a pretty big
 AT> country so there's plently to explore here :-) But I would like to do
 AT> a student exchange to somewhere...

Where exactly ?  Europe is a big place.  From the areas I've seen I think that I like the Loire region of France the best - full of chateaus and vin yards (Is that really how you spell it ??!), and the scenery down the river Loire is beautiful.

 AT> Yeah I think you and us should ditch the Royals...

Right then.  How much does an good assasin cost these days :-)

 AT> Hmnmm...what can we talk about???

Well just out of interest I have started juggle-ing this week.  Its great fun and, suprisingly, I find it very relaxing.

 AT> Do you celebrate Halloween at all over there?

Yep, its just gone.  There has been a load of trouble about so-called `Trick or Treating' this year with loads of people complaining that it is wrong - do you have trick or treat in your country ?  Also it will be bonfire night soon where we celebrate how Guy Falkes was defeated in his plan to blow up parliament many years ago.  We have big fires and fireworks displays and eat traditional foods for this festival.  What sort of festivals do you have in Oz ?

 AT> That's all I can think of since I'm braindead right now!

Well I'm sure by the time this gets back to you that you will have thought of many more things to chat about !

Smile for me when you read this message!
