Ian from Sydney

Home at last after visiting 6 countries in 28 days, took 542 photos, some of which were OK, and travelling over 37,000km. It's nice to be back.

home Ian. Good to have you back.

Welcome home Ian. Glad you and Anne are back safe and sound, but no doubt somewhat jet-lagged. Didn't realize that was your photo on medium today (I'm slipping I guess). Cheers my friend, and a glass to your safe arrival home!

I was just stopping by to see how you were, hadn't seen you post recently & I see you have slipped into town quietly. Welcome back. Looking forward to the pics. You have a lot of catching up to. I currently have a video posted, I think you may enjoy.

Welcome home Ian, hope you and you wife arrived back in good health. looking foreward to see some snaps. Cheers.

Welcome home, Ian. I was going to keep a record of you puzzle as they appeared so I could give you the dates) but was too involved going them, (so only remembered later when I was cooking dinner or some such minor job! Hope you had a great time!

Welcome home Ian it seems only a minute since you were in England. Hope you had a wonderful trip home x

Hi Ian! I was just roaming around visiting different pages and noticed you have returned from your adventures! Wow! Six countries in 28 days? I'm sure it was wonderful! Looking forward to the photos. Welcome back

Welcome home Ian and Anne - I hope you've had a wonderful holiday in England and Europe. No doubt we'll have some new photos to view, looking forward to seeing them.
Cheers
Anne

Thanks Ian for your comments. Sounds like you had a great time.

I think you were very lucky with the weather Ian it is now going quite cold at night and the rain has returned.. sigh..
Just been looking through your photographs wonderful shots in there and I look forward to seeing your holiday shots.

Hi Ian, wall to wall buildings not my cup of tea. the photos that you put in your gallery are a little no a lot better than OK. been an ex-poilet you would have no fear of heights. Hong- Kong is probally a nice place to visit but I wouldn't like to live there. I'm surpised they haven't started building in the bay.

Hi eaa, I'm not too keen on heights - except when I have an aeroplane strapped to me.

It must have been fun flying into Hong Kong in the old days before the new airport, when they had to fly between the buildings! Wonderful photos, Ian.

Ian,

Thanks for the explanation of your brother's fine piece of woodwork!

Cheers,

Jyrki

Glad you have settled back into life again in warmer climes hopefully. I am off in two weeks for another little sojourn... can't wait for a little more R&R x

Hi Ian,
I'll be looking forward to seeing some photo's from the Bronte lunch posted here on your site.
Have a great day.

Ian, thank you so much for your note of condolence, especially when you've just come through an emotional time yourself. Sure helps to know that people on this site rally round in tough times (and are a heck of a lot of fun, too ...) Every message means so much, and I'm grateful you took the time to send me one.

Thanks for the comment on the lorikeet, Ian. I think it was posing for me!

Hi Ian. Hope you got my 2nd message! I've just added another!

Hi Ian. I'm sure you probably did post a comment on your 'nird' photo, but I've noticed lately that many pictures are coming up with the comments missing. I think Gath has a problem in his photo library. How is all with you?

for the birthday wishes Ian.

Silence from Ian for a few days I'm afraid. He is relaxing in the local hospital. He is bright and cheerful, just puzzling the doctors as to what is wrong with him.

So sorry you have been feeling out of sorts Ian. Do hope that you are feeling better quickly.

Ian, I have brought you some flowers to help cheer you up. Hope you are feeling well soon.

Ian and Anne: I am sorry to hear that Ian is taking a break and spending his time pinching nurses Anne. I do hope all is going well. Please keep us advised.

Ian: We were looking forward to your new pictures. So we are counting on you to get better and hoping about as quick as a bunny - or chasing a bunny. BTW Your pics of Aberdovey, bring back memories (from about 25 years ago).

I'll say a prayer for you and the doctors caring for you.

It sounds as though you're keeping the medical staff on their toes, Ian - no ordinary, commonplace problems for you, huh? I do hope you're feeling better and able to get on with enjoying life very soon. Best wishes to you and Anne.

We miss you, Ian, and hope that you will soon be back with your witty comments and gorgeous photos. I hope the doctors don't find anything seriously amiss and that the bedrest will do you some good. Wishing you the best.

Hi Ian/Anne, just letting you know I'm thinking about you! I was away for the weekend & saw Anne's message when I was doing the weekend's puzzles this morning.

Hope you've got your camera with you, Ian. I'm sure you could find some interesting pics from your bedside.

I know what's wrong with him Anne. A distinct lack of Sudoku!
Ian, best of wishes mate. See you soon.
Thank you Anne for updating us.

He is still "enjoying" hospital life. No, he does not have his camera with him. I made sure of that.I don't want any censorship. He is cheerful but bored out of his mind and the one thing that cheers him up is the comments and good wishes from all you guys.

Feel better soon!
A big bouquet of get well wishes!

I have just taken a trip through your pictures and was enthralled! I was in St. Petersburg several years ago. I took a night train from Moscow to St.P. Your pictures took me back to one of my favorite places! Thank you for sharing them.

Hi Anne thanks for keeping us informed. People were asking on the Jigsaw site so I copied & pasted your comment there for them!

Thanks Kathy and Kate.

He is still locked up but things are looking better. No doubt you will get the full story when he gets back. I am passing on all you good wishes. He will love to back through all this when he gets home.

I have just visited your place for the first time. I think your pictures are fabulous

Ian must be devasted with no camera Anne. Just imagine the wonderful photos.... bedpans, hospital food, cute (we hope) nurses, and of course the traditional bed time bath! Sneak in one of those cell phones that take oictures just for the heck of it!
