Time for an update.

OK, I must admit I gave away my prized possession today to a young Australian lady working with the troops in the Sinai. She fell in the love with the pen and couldn't stop raving about it, i left her office before any tears arrived but heard her last word from down the hallway "gorgeous". You now have another fan over here.

I gave it to her as she felt left out on Christmas Day when there wasn't one for her, but she stoically didn't say a word about how she felt until yesterday over a lunchtime meal when pens come up in conversation.

Unfortunately the new troops now know they missed out something special and the typical 'oh where's ours?' Told them Christmas is 10 months away and you have to be good.

Keep up the good work.

p.s. I have bought a lathe now, so I may join the crew depending on how talented i become when i return.

G'day Eddie

What a man giving the prized possession to a lady

Eddied no problem I can replace it and let me know how many more you need we can do an Anzac day run for the new people.

Hoping to cover Timor and Solomans Anzac Day
