Thank you's

Hey all - Thanks for all the kind comments. We treat this blog as much as a diary for us as we do as a bit of fun for you guys, so don't be alarmed when we post something less than positive.
Thanks so much to:
Kerry - those are all brilliant tips - Your generosity and wisdom are boundless, traits your son has inherited thanks to you. I think we are still enjoying the 'Gerchina' name. Would you believe I hadn't pictured it as a person, just as our big white whale of a car, but your description sits well.
Martin - Cheers, great to hear you're reading along. We often think of your adventures through this area and sometimes think how grateful we are to have shelter and resources at our finger tips in the form of the car. The flipside of this is that the car distances you from the people, whereas as a cyclist, you're right in it. In all seriousness, I think a considerable part of our 'frosty' experience comes no doubt from our limited exposure with these people compared to Russia/Mongolia. If we only have a few exposures, and they have mostly been bad, the 'bad exposure' average is higher than if we'd had many more experiences. In Russia/Mongolia we'd be meeting 10 people a day, here it's been lucky to be one.
Nora - Cheers, save us some cold air in a jar will you?
Mum D - Thank you and your lovely friends who are full of advice. Their kindness towards us is no doubt a result of genoristy returned to you. uTheir abundance alone is proof of your solid charachter.

Chris (from the other day) - Thanks brother. Nah certainly not sacrificing quorn to anything here. That lighting a fire idea kicks arse. If it wasn't so unbearably hot I would. I also have some plants that need identifying and I thought of you...

Warren - nope, time is money, gotta keep moving! Someone's gotta pay your wage! lol thank you however.

Just to clarify to those reading, we've been fine all day Wednesday, drinking and eating like horses again. All back to normal.
