Present from Dad and Mum

A Story - with lots of emails and photos

An email from Tanya on Tuesday 8th November 2005
I could not find one thing to fit me!!
They were all just a bit wrong - great on bum but huge on waist
Or great on waist but far too small on arse
Even the jackets didn't go right over my chest
I tried on everything in the shop I think - skirts and pants and shirts and jackets!!
I don't know what to do now

......and a reply from Geoff
It don't really matter - 'cause you can get your present a bit later
when you find something that fits in all spots!!!
Just sing out when you find something
In the meantime, Coudrey is going to "prick" you a Birthday Card!!!
--- and that's worth millions!!!

......and from Tanya
Thank you
I could not believe nothing would fit properly!!

Another email from Tanya on Friday 18th November 2005
Hi there
I had a birthday present thought
I shopped for clothes again last night - and still couldn't find anything
However - I am in the market for a bicycle
I miss my bike in London and now moving closer to town I will be able to use one often
Toys-R-Us are having a '25% Off Sale' this weekend
I am planning to go and have a look first thing,
so if you think that it's an okay-idea I will let you know what they have

......and a reply from Geoff
That sounds reasonable!!!
And I am sure that "You-Know-Who" would rather you were
riding aound the streets of Cairns and not London!!!

......and from Tanya
Surely you know by now that she would rather me not be riding anywhere!!
If I survived London I should be able to survive Edge Hill!

......and a comment from Sharon
You are right Tanya!!
Besides it is too hot to ride
Plus no-one in Cairns takes any notice of cyclists
I don't want to know about it!!

......and she picked the bike!!!

An email from Tanya on Monday 5th December 2005
I rode my bike to work today - took about 20-25 mins and I wasn't too hot
Not sure how much I am going to look forward to going home tho!!
I think it will be hotter and I don't have the choice of taking the car
- the only way to get home is to ride!

......and a reply from Geoff
Well, what was it like riding home in the 900 degree heat!!!
Did you have to stop overnight at a motel somewhere on Sheridan Street???
