My cousin Belinda (and Pete, whoever he is; wonder if her Dad's met him yet? Such fun, hazing new boyfriends at these things. The idea is to make sure they know what they're getting into before it's too late.) survived just fine and will be coming home next week for the family reunion.

I am glad to hear your friends are ok. Currently we are working through all those reported missing to check to see if friends etc have heard from them. Incredibly frustrating when you consider that most of them have been sitting at home since that day and people have forgotten to take the time to call back and say they are safe.

So that would be another favour I guess. Please call back when your relative friend is safe. then we can spend more time on those that are still missing.
