Latest played a blinder today by spying the last pair of said headphones in an electrical shop. It was one of those perfect late summer/early autumnal mornings with glorious sunshine and not a cloud in sight as we rolled into Kaikoura. He keeps muttering darkly about a lack of Lycra and puncture repair kits, but I’m sure I’ll use my powers of persuasion and get him out on two wheels after the Test. The official Oxford dictionary definition is a female singer of popular music. More recently, it was the set for a long running Australian TV drama called McLeod’s Daughters. Wired up to Paddy with small earpieces, we were regaled with  great stories of the history and ecological environs of Perth. Latest always claims that James was his “fag” at school, and had to warm his toilet seat for him on winter’s mornings. We stopped off at the nearest 7/11 store, where the assistant assured us that it would be cheaper to go by cab. But Charlie Brown for fashion, and all the swimwear is fantastic. What felt like autumn in the beginning started to smell more and more like a barbeque and ended up in endless dead-men’s land. I’m not wishing to complain about the heat, but I did feel that an air conditioned shop or two might just be the answer; after all, I had opened the wardrobe this morning and declared myself bored of all my clothes – after all 2 months is a long time to be away from home.  Julia Ball as “the beautiful boy” . 31) And Darling moment – a day out on a luxury super-yacht on Sydney Harbour. Crikey, was I kept busy during that first hour; my fellow sunbathers must have thought I was seriously incontinent. I mean, honestly…why? afternoon snooze) I’m taming my unruly mop of hair and Sydney is bathed in sunshine for the thousands of fellow Poms who are enjoying the trip of a lifetime. Oh, the humiliation of being tannoyed across Adelaide airport, much to the amusement of several hundred cricket fans who were also making their way to Perth. Judging by the surfing swell this morning, it’s a pretty apt name. After a long day, he helped himself to one of those over-priced small bottles of wine that you find in a minibar. And so, with a heavy heart, Latest set off for the last match of England’s World Cup campaign. Talk about a busman’s holiday! And so it was onto our ‘Last Supper’. And finally, the best con of the year: persuading Latest to stand in the queue for a tax refund at the airport and successfully convincing him that the $300 he received means he’s ahead of the game. “I can’t believe I’m washing my stuff with Aggers’ pants”, he said, before telling us he’d blown his divorce settlement fulfilling a lifetime’s ambition watching England in Australia. So here’s my take on yesterdays massacre (quote the BBC cricket correspondent). The build up to the 5th and final test starts tomorrow (yes, I know we were all trying to forget about the cricket ) so it’s back to work for him and I’m hoping to find out if I can have a lesson at the boomerang school. Then I dragged Latest onto a ferry. After a long day, he helped himself to one of those over-priced small bottles of wine that you find in a minibar. They are so incredibly tame that you can get really quite close to them, and I never get over seeing these animals that are the ultimate symbol of Australia for me. that we had woken him up at midday UK time…and then a good old gossip with our lovely neighbours Michael and Mark who run the pub next door. Treat ’em mean, keep ’em keen. Apparently, the teeth are small, the anti venom is the best in the world, and an average of only two people die every year. After all, I had a date on a multi million pound super-yacht! Then it was au revoir Melbourne and hello to one of the greatest cities in the world. the half hour ride, you get a real sense of the amazing natural harbour with its inlets and beaches ( mental note to self to book lunch at Bathers pavilion, Balmoral beach) as well as the huge number of boats of all sizes that use the water. Billy the Trumpeter led a rendition of all the old favourite songs, and everyone was in full voice – SO much better than the previous evening’s karaoke, and it raised over £3000. Wow!I love the pictures and all the details about your trip. Of course, the great thing about shopping in a foreign city is so many of the shops are, well, foreign. :)Keep on adventuring!! Instead of being terrified, I was mesmerised by these giant creatures, watching until they dived and disappeared from our view. I’d found close to the hotel (remember my earlier rants about the cost of hotel laundry service?) Don’t get me wrong; I absolutely adore this City. And so, peloton-style, we motored into South Perth and its glorious row of classy restaurants and cafés. In the meantime, I’m going to have one more crack at that tin opener. Being the perfect wife (for two months only, remember!) Skulling Aussie beer - more double yes! The third day at this Test is now officially ‘pink day’ in support of Glenn’s cancer foundation established in memory of his late wife, Jane. We had a great night out with another branch of our adopted “Aussie” family yesterday. You can fit 12 United Kingdoms into Western Australia, but there are less than three million people in the state. So compact that I had to use our (five) suitcases as a mounting block to get into bed….and there is certainly no chance, If there is an “Ashes Urn” for enjoying Australia and boosting the economy, I would have retained it for England single-handed! Someone or something must have died. Yep, I know. The Gabba itself is a stunning ‘bowl’ of a stadium. But here goes. It probably explains why it’s a pretty expensive place to come and visit and to eat out. It’s looking increasingly likely that Latest will be having (another) unscheduled day off on Monday. Sydney is all about the water…so, today I took to it. Today I’ve been officially “on duty”. The news of Nelson Mandela’s death spread like wildfire round the breakfast room, And it was great that the entire Oval fell silent at the start of the days play. Fortunately he wasn’t injured, but the car has had a door rearranged. By popular demand (!) Shame about the cricket, but you can’t have everything I suppose. Sadly, when we left, it was raining AGAIN! so first I went off for coffee with Viv from Halifax who was also a cricket widow. Mind you, some deliveries were clearly more essential than others – namely at one gorgeous guesthouse, where cases of wine were quickly wheeled off our vessel. End of. Young Henry, on the other hand, is rather quiet today – he claims it’s a viral infection; I diagnose an alcohol infection! Sadly, I’m allergic to fish and shellfish of any kind so, not wanting to cause a medical emergency, I could only watch while Latest troughed into his chosen crayfish (£25 for a whole one) – which included a lesson in how to extract meat from the legs. Mark Pougatch (aka Pougers) . Not so; it ended on the 10th, I was informed by the cheerful cove who sold me my bus ticket. Nothing short of a miracle! There’s no such thing as a Sunday morning lie-in when you’re on tour. Oh boy, I’m so in love with verandas, I WANT ONE back at home. You could have been forgiven it was the first day of the Old Trafford Test rather than the Adelaide test; it was drizzling, grey and positively chilly here this morning. We were all transfixed. For a extra $20 we got a 5 star experience. Of course, with all his broadcasting kit, we had racked up an excess baggage fee: if you pre-empt this by buying extra baggage allowance online, you can save yourself a small fortune. What a difference 24 hours makes – this afternoon the sun shone on Sydney. During our early morning walk round the wharf, we learned that during WWII, more bombs were dropped on Darwin than at Pearl Harbor, and that Darwin Harbour is 7 times bigger than Sydney Harbour. And while Latest headed off for the office on the Manly Ferry (the best money you will spend in Sydney) I took up pole position on the beach. Caves - yes! Of course, he’s still reporting on, and commentating on the final group matches, then the quarters, semis and the final, but he’s now a COMPLETELY neutral observer. I bribed him with the promise of several nice coffee shops en route and said he could wear the red helmet, and so we set off. Does that mean I qualify for further Diva status, Charlie Sale? Last night, after a quiet steak in The Rocks, we joined the Barmy Army at their HQ on Circular Quay. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder and, surprisingly, I found myself rather looking forward to seeing my money-hoovering university student of a son who I hadn’t seen since he set off for Newcastle in September. Firstly: our hotel. Back in the room, and Latest was having a power nap after his exertions which, to be fair, had started with a live TV appearance at 0730. When last here during the Ashes tour, it was pre-Christmas and there was a huge number of inflatable Santas and snowmen adorning Rundle Mall. Wine country to be precise – the beautiful Barossa Valley. Cottesloe is a pretty safe place to bathe; there’s a natural reef, there are apparently sonic alarms in the water and regular airborne shark patrols up and down the coastline. When we resumed after lunch this afternoon, we took guard in our earlier positions – all except Chris, who moved to the front row. 38) The greatest character we’ve met on the trip was our cabbie, Darryl, in Darwin. Have to say, sounds like a good deal to me! First, there was shopping to be done- Uggs to be bought in preparation for the distinctly inclement weather back at home. I think I’m correct in saying we have been in Perth longer than any of the other cities on this tour, and I’ve become very fond of it. It has a grass airstrip right in the city centre; Langley Park. You’ll probably recall that some 10 days ago in Adelaide, myself and Michelle Wright (hugely glam and extrovert wife of the Nottinghamshire chairman, Peter) had an ill-fated bike ride to Henley. 20)  And to save cash: pre pay any excess luggage charges online – saves a fortune. Latest is trying to cajole me into sky walking off Auckland’s highest building. Latest isn’t completely out of luck though – I did pop into David Jones (a bit like Harrods) and bought him a little treat from the food hall. But no, even that couldn’t lure me away from the pool today. What a splendid evening we had down the cellar at Kingsford Homestead last night. Passing some seriously expensive-looking riverside apartments, with even more seriously pricey boats moored outside, we cruised gently along the Yarra. He’s now a cameraman for BBC Sport and out here covering The Ashes with reporter Dan Roan. There was much ringing of bells for us to get out of the way of other smug cyclists roaring past us. They are both qualified pilots, but Vicky and I are still waiting for that lunch! Uh oh, time for home methinks, and for Mrs Aggers’ final blog entry tomorrow on Day 60. Perhaps it says something about me, but the evening hit an all time low when Jonathan preferred to watch the cricket on the big screen rather than engage in scintillating conversation with this wife! ‘Ah, but bet he rustles up a great meal’, I hear you say. Posts about Blog written by bensworldtour. Selfies with quokkas - double yes! It was lovely to catch up with a young supporter called Harry and his family. Quite ridiculous! But Santa must have been keeping an eye on her as she was safely delivered in time for coffee. Mind you, it was probably less stressful watching pants dry than witnessing the slaughter at the Gabbattoir. How time has flown since 20th November when, full of hope, we set off together to preview the first day of The Ashes in Brisbane. It’s also a wonderful place to go at sunset and watch the city light up down below. Has to be done, as I told young producer Henry en route to our accommodation. One with a 0 on the end. Very sad and certainly, everyone who spends extended periods away from home will appreciate just how hard it is to deal with problems when you are separated from the people who really matter to you. And he hardly does more than boil an egg for himself. (Should say lunch included not one but TWO former Australian Prime Ministers. I followed Stephen’s example by, Today I’ve felt a little bit homesick. If there is an “Ashes Urn” for enjoying Australia and boosting the economy, I would have retained it for England single-handed! Earlier in the tour, I had been very generously invited to Ladies’ Day by the financier, Sir Ron Brierley. It’s an early start for us tomorrow: Jonathan will be grilling Andy Flower before breakfast then we’re heading off to Perth on the equivalent of Ryanair. Now, I’m a girl who doesn’t camp and never goes anywhere without a hairdryer, so I must admit to a little trepidation about our accommodation. I won’t spoil the story, but if you want to know how it went, Clearly the best way to appreciate this stunning part of the world is by water, and we had booked onto the Beachcomber Magic Mail Run cruise; a four hour trip round the Marlborough Sounds but where you really are delivering letters and parcels to isolated homes which can only be accessed via the water. I’ll do my best to keep you up to date during the journey, but that will depend on the Internet situation in the Red Centre. A flurry of paperwork/pictures being taken and heated words ensued then, in a supportive wifely move, I left him to it. My suspicions were first alerted by a coachload of Americans of a certain age filling reception early this morning. Of course, we did our trek down through the Red Centre of Australia on the Ghan, which proved a huge hit. 6) Best luxury trip: travelling in style on the Ghan from Darwin to Adelaide. No, I set off with great expectations  surrounding the much vaunted “sculptures by the sea” walk between Bondi and Tamarama. I settled down for a coffee with my lovely friend Gemma and contemplated the prospects of sightseeing in Wellington on a Sunday. Today, I was reminded Easter is just three weeks away as the shops were full of some tempting Easter decorations (How much room do I have in those suitcases?) It was with some difficulty that Latest managed to drag me away from Marlborough and the beautiful Cloudy Bay vineyard. He loved it and was even allowed to ring the bell to get the bus to stop because he behaved so well (although he had to fight a small child for the honour). I had an angry message from my sister last night – she’s been looking after my precious cocker spaniel, Tino – he’d left a trail of destruction in her kitchen after wrecking all her cookery books. Still, a great day for me, and Latest is HUGELY jealous of me spending so much time in illustrious company. Uh oh! Well,with 30 days in November, and being an A* maths student at school, I foolishly thought it would be on until 15 November. Recalling that incident seemed to be the only way we could possibly bring these Aussies down a peg or two! We are on the early morning flight to Sydney – it’s New Years Eve, after all, and are there many greater places in the world to celebrate? Safely, The England management go big on “taking the positives” out of every performance. Latest and I both absolutely love Australia  and I hope that has come through. Open View Magazine is a bi-annual publication put together by Work for the Dole participants. Blue/teal crystal waters - yes! Monday morning sees us boarding the Picton Ferry and heading to the South Island for a few days of R and R in the beautiful area of Marlborough. So instead, I went to have my nails done! So that was Darwin – hot and humid as hell and don’t mess with the crocodiles. Many supporters were sitting in the full glare of the sun all day : in the media tent (a canvas marquee with no air conditioning) they were having to put their laptops and phones in the fridge to cool them down and keep them working. 21)  Best moment on Christmas Day – Geoff Boycott’s lesson on batting against spin bowling. The beach also has the good fortune to be relatively shallow and therefore pretty much free from shark attacks in recent years. The 20 or so of us were given a full safety briefing, including being reassured that no-none had ever fallen overboard (yet), and reminding us to keep our hands clear of the ropes or we could lose our fingers. He’s managed to be relatively civil so far! It’s been fun; splendid food and wine, catching up with old friends, naughty days and nights with girlfriends, Today has been the best of days; one of those days when you laugh so hard and so much your stomach hurts! which meant that Jonathan still had time to indulge in one of his real passions in life – flying. So we hopped onto the Louise Sauvage supercat, and nipped across the harbour to, It’s the final day of the Sydney Test. Running for three weeks until mid November, or so the blurb boasted. throughout the summer. An early morning stroll along the glorious, Norfolk Pine-fringed surfing beach at Manly kicked off proceedings. Well, Jeremy – the fantastic chef at Hapuku Lodge – dispatched us with an amazing looking chocolate creation. Er, that’ll be all of it, everywhere. If NYE is all about the Opera House, then surely New Years Day is about the beach. It’s a place one would as “picturesque but sleepy” and therefore somewhat surprisingly there were TV crews and crowds gathering on the waterfront. My roguish son is currently at 39 thousand feet on his way out here – if you seen a tall, skinny lad on crutches in Singapore then give him a poke – but the latest (thirsty) members of the Leicestershire mafia, Trevor and Gordon, arrived in our hotel today. I must find out why they are so wide in Adelaide. And talking of flying, Latest will indulge himself with his favourite hobby tomorrow, by flying a light aircraft around Perth. If I was at home in The Vale, it would consist of last minute present buying, wrapping (am I the only one to run out of Sellotape and tags?) Have the budgeted for a sea wall to protect this sculputure garden? Oh, and where to spend New Years Eve in Sydney. It’s official; the best way to experience the Ashes this winter is in the Melbourne sunshine, next to a delightful rooftop swimming pool – but listening on the radio so you can turn it off/call for more wine/ move into the air conditioning when it all gets too much. Plenty of soaking up the sun by day, and great entertainment in the evening. Poor old Valeria is spending her first weeks of married life with her husband at work commentating. 12 hours to Singapore … Quick stretch of the legs …10 hours onwards to Auckland, then a further hour down to my final destination of Wellington. So, this year, I decided to turn the tables and take the creature comforts on my first full Ashes tour with him – minus the dogs! Our families have been closely connected ever since. Give us time. Yes, it gave his credit card a serious bashing, and although passengers booked on the boats are given full refunds, there were lots of disappointed people who just couldn’t spare the time to stay on for a further day. But coming here was all about the Great Ghan Train Journey. 10) It’s brilliant being on tour – but going home is even better. It goes without saying that this may involve a glass of wine from the local Margaret River region. I was lucky enough to be sitting next to fifth generation winemaker Stephen Henschke – also known as a Baron of the Barossa! I was nicely settled into my book, under the shade of an umbrella  (I’m reading the latest Graham Norton memoir which has made me snort out loud on several occasions) when I was disturbed by the frantic whistles of the lifeguard. That, combined with a moving interview with a breast cancer survivor, which left Jonathan with tears streaming down his face, and we were all in no doubt about the things that really matter in life. And of course, they’re right; how lucky is he to be paid to travel to exotic locations and watch cricket! Originally used by the traders to move goods across the country, it now takes passengers. But I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Victoria on this trip – made, once again, by the wonderful friends we have made there over the years. I had to send Jonathan back to our apartment to change after our walk. Sadly, not during England’s earlier press conference, where I trotted along, complete with sodden feet, to see Jonathan interview Steve Finn. And they do lack a certain taste. It was originally planned as the capital of the new settlement, but there was a lack of fresh drinking water so the centre was moved along the river to what is now Melbourne Central. Yes, I could happily make this beautiful, friendly city my home. These enormous 18 metre mammals ( to put it into perspective that’s about the length of a cricket pitch) surface for only 4 or 5 minutes of oxygen before diving as far as half a mile underwater to feed for three quarters of an hour. Latest came back VERY pleased with himself – he’d flown down to Fremantle and over Rottenest Island. Tom, And so, some 6 weeks after I first flew into Sydney, it suddenly feels as though we are on the home stretch, with just Melbourne and Sydney to go. What was that about? Dirt as matter out of place is also noisome as the bad smell of a place. Michael was on great form and Mary had us hooting with laughter over her tales of recent golfing exploits with one G Boycott. In some ways it reminds me of the Grenadine islands in the Caribbean or, probably more accurately, the stunning Bay of Islands at the very tip of New Zealand’s North Island. Swimming with eels - oh, my! It’s always great fun reading the local paper when abroad: in Brisbane it’s the Courier Mail. The observant amongst you will have noticed he is, er, somewhat follically challenged. And, just as an aside, the toilets on the beach were immaculate, which begged the question who, So here it is, the very last post from Mrs Aggers on tour. That meant only one thing. The Americans Cup sailing experience is,well, a real experience. 42) Best educational fact we’ve learnt was that goannas have two, er, penis’ and can mate continuously for 36 hours. We were a varied bunch, the youngest a 14 yr old, Ben Jackson, who had to be at school on time on Thursday morning and the oldest…..well I *think* there was one person there older than me – great atmosphere, cheers as loud as anything heard in the Mound Stand, copious amounts of Yorkshire Tea and, most important, a terrific start by England to the series! He had very kindly agreed to meet Jonathan ahead of the scheduled press conference – he must have heard that I was somewhat prone to missing flights. After a brisk 2 and a half mile power walk, during which Latest needed several breathers ostensibly to admire the Australian Ibis en route. heirisson island perth wa banfield wellness plan cancellation audi s8 5.2 v10 quattro tiptronic chris corley christmas microsoft sql database size vitocal 300-a datenblatt krok do tmy csfd ffn 20 windows 7 format c drive and reinstall arbeidsmigratie wiki gramatica de portugues verbos mala brytania chomikuj It transpires Max lives pretty close to us back in the Vale, and is spending his gap year out here. Still, it meant we could have a lovely round of end-of-tour get togethers. Now, in his panic, it would be fair to say that Latest pulled on a somewhat eclectic mixture of clothes. We were just leaving the ground when Jonathan’s school friend and Leicestershire colleague, James Whitaker, appeared. Our cabbie, Darryl, was just typical of the people we met in the Northerrn Territory. No, not a dubious after-dark establishment; instead, Nin’s is THE place to eat fresh crayfish. I’ve enjoyed Melbourne; I think the man who told me that it was easier to understand the city when you lived there rather than as a visitor made a fair point. Tip gratefully received by an initially startled Gorgeous Georgie. It was back to Graham Norton. Hey ho, some of us have had a fab time! Anyone know? But first, I sent Latest for the snip. Still, it meant we could have a lovely round of end-of-tour get togethers. Still, I’ve reasoned it’s to remind me of the mists and mellow fruitfulness of an English autumn. Only that didn’t come so, stumbling around, we dressed and staggered down the concrete stairwell of the fire exit. I bought them a local beer then saw them off the premises! Never let it be said that a travel day is a dull day – in fact, it’s been very much one of ‘those’ days! It’s a feature of the World Cup that you move from city to city, often only spending a night in one place. There we bumped into an old friend from BBC Radio Leicester days. It would be fair to say there have been better moods over the breakfast table. I'm so thankful julie knocked it off of my leg hahaha. You can’t travel all this way and NOT enjoy yourself, can you? So, if you find yourself in Perth, then this is a fabulous way to see the city. Interview done – Latest feels more hopeful that Andy Flower (who he rates hugely and likes a great deal) will stay on with England – we decide to head for the beach. So here’s my take on yesterdays massacre (quote the BBC cricket correspondent). Well, it had to happen – I was, after all, the child who couldn’t even do sleepovers at a friend’s house without crying to go home. Lots of love, Gemma, and see you back in The Vale. Our swimming pool was transformed into an Hawaiian party, complete with palms, coconut wearing hula hula girls and a huge number of cocktails with umbrellas in them. I always think it must be totally infuriating for the child of a famous person to be constantly asked about them, and Latest subsequently told me that at one point he had changed his name by deed poll to escape the Bradman association. Such is the way with touring, and I know that Jonathan feels he has missed too many Christmas’s, kids birthdays etc. Looking forward to your next post! ), and our pal Pam Nash (@Pam_nAshes) will be filing some words and pictures into my blog tomorrow to give a contrasting view of the day. I also dropped off a mountain of washing at a small launderette Jonno, the catering manager of the hospitality box, produced an amazing picture of members of his family (below) watching the Eton vs Harrow game at Lords after World War II – it was a scene much reminiscent of the demurely dressed ladies It was utterly thrilling. Anyway, I dutifully trotted off to work with Latest, son and the gorgeous Georgie in tow. Give us time. Yes, really, a whole emporium dedicated to those ridiculous garments. See, we are easily pleased! 9) Where has kangaroo gone from Australian menus?. Amidst dark muttering of a comb-over a lovely young hairdresser, in the salon next to the hotel, was, It’s been a total car crash of a tour, and today the Agnews also had a car crash – literally. The sight of 200 or so gregarious youngsters playing in the pool at the bottom of the waterfall must be quite something and I’m only sorry that we were a bit early in the season to see it. With our unexpected day off today, a group of us, including Jonathan’s old Leicestershire team mate David Gower, hopped on the River Cat and headed off for some lunch. I’ve said before that one of the best ways to appreciate Sydney is from the water, and tonight was no exception. And Luke played off of all of Jeff’s antics really well. And it’s beginning exactly where it started; a grey, overcast Sydney. It turned out to be Australian superstar Delta Goodrem. It is beautifully sandy, has lots of shade, is accessible by boat or public transport and has a wonderful cafe and restaurant for breakfast, lunch and/or dinner. They run to increase their fitness, then do a lengthy swim across the bay, before learning about the changing tides and currents. Frankly I think England have more chance of winning the World Cup. And he’s just started following me on Twitter. They’d also had a banner made especially for Trotty – great effort guys, and catch up with you again in Perth. Every morning, he’s dragged somewhat reluctantly to the hotel gym. Tomorrow will be Christmas Eve for us. When the winds subsided, he found all the houses round him had disappeared, and his neighbours had been killed. The Boxing Day Test is a veritable Who’s Who of cricketing and show biz society, and most of them pass through the broadcasting box at some point, so it’s a great place for me to position myself. There was a great mix of people on board, including some I had met during this winter. Guess who won. 46&47) Saddest farewell was to Kerry O’Keeffe – insightful broadcaster with impeccable comic timing. My fellow dining guests seemed to enjoy the close of up of the Queen Mary 2; After all the trials and tribulations of the past couple of days, we considered that the best form of therapy was the beach. They then returned the favor and took one of Brett and me. (I know, more shopping, but trust me on this one – it’ll save you a fortune) It also meant Latest could broadcast live from a ferry during the peak of the alleged Pietersen/Flower fall out. 33) And low point? I raised a glass of Pimms to her at lunchtime. Returning back to the hotel, I found Latest’s humour pretty low, so I managed to play down my delightful exploits and fortunately the effects of the champers had worn off. I went shopping. Last night, after a quiet steak in The Rocks, we joined the Barmy Army at their HQ on Circular Quay. Feeling distinctly brighter, we headed out to the trendy suburbs of North Adelaide for lunch. I then packed him off to the cricket with his Godfather and settled myself down by the pool. It was over. I slipped quietly away from the ground at lunchtime, genuinely hoping that we were on course for a last gasp victory. I know what you’re all thinking; aren’t we honoured?! the weta felt so gross! When he arrived out here for the warm-up game some six weeks ago, he was going through a bit of an upper-mid-life fitness phase involving diet and exercise (wrong on so many levels) and he frequently FaceTimed me from his early morning walk among the kangaroos.
