G/day guys.
Just a quick post to say we arrived a few hours ago in Düsseldorf, it was -2 needless to say that the new sky jacket not only looks good but works a treat.
We only had about 4 hours sleep in 30 hours but the flights were comfortable, Lufthansa were great to travel with, and Jet star got us to Singapore on time as
well, I believe this is not always the case as our friends decided to go the day before and arrived 5 hours late, if they were travelling on that day they would have missed their flight, we saw them in Singapore for a few minutes and then chased them across the world.
Have fun in the sun.
Cheers Steve.

Good to hear you arrived safely, as for the weather.........serve ya right, it's 24.5 here at 4:41 am Tuesday, Cyclone Laurence is still heading West and the rain has stopped, the river got to 6.9 m , it's dropped way down again now,
Tropical Cyclone "Laurence" lies roughly west of
Darwin and north of
Wyndham, and is moving slowly west/southwest away from the Territory.
OUTLOOK for Wednesday and Thursday
Tropical Cyclone "Laurence" will continue to move away from Territory with
showers and storms remaining isolated over the Top End. Rainfall totals are not
expected to significantly contribute to flooding.
NEXT ADVICE
No further advices.
You 3 have a good time over there, and if you see any ww2 stuff some photo's would be great, looking forward to your next post.
Doug

Young Fred :-)
To get ö ........Hold down the Alt key with your left index finger while typing 0246 with your right index finger. There are other variations to this phenomenon but this one I find the easiest. I use é, ô, ü, ê quite a lot. Have a play...lol

Any way I was wide awake at 4am this morning so I will push through today and get over Jet Lag, It is now -6 outside, needless to say I haven't been out yet.
