Meet the family
Well I might have mentioned some of these people before on NMW but I think it is now time that they show their faces.
Here's Mel, the crazy girl who agreed to let me share a house with her, a decision she's regretted ever since. Mel's my adopted Mum while I'm away from England and I in turn take the role (involuntarily) as her 'test child'.
And here is our other housemate, Jo. We got to pick her from a raft of potential applicants (much like choosing a pet) after Amanda (her predecessor) failed to return from Vietnam with enough money to pay the rent. Jo cooks cake for our birthdays, therefore we love her.
Our neighbours. The girls from across the street. Think I might be scaring them off one by one as only Bridie (far right) is remaining. I will post a picture of her replacement housemate Matt and their new (as yet unnamed) housemate as soon as I take a picture of them!
Not really family, but here is a picture from the Christmas holiday. Jo and Colin (one of my few Australian friends) on the left and George and Mrs George on the right. George used to have to sit next to me at work in the UK, but despite this still chose to come and visit me for his Christmas holidays. Evidently I must be a great person to share a cubicle with if he's come this far for a hit of Nurton company!

Hi Gonzolo
Glad you enjoyed your presents. Hope you understand they together make up both your Christmas and Birthday presents until such time as I receive your parcel.
However I must tell you that ultimately the presents were meant for Kendrick not you. But since he met his maker over this yuletide break - the victim of yet another fatal rogue Belgium seal attack (I know, the irony!) - you might as well enjoy the gifts on his behalf.
I do think the least you could do though is send you best wishes and possibly one of the Kangaroo balls to Kendrick's bird in an act of mourning.
I'm not sure I understand what is going on here - I can't believe Nurton would know the habits of the Belgian Seal, for example - but I do know that George's visit was nothing to do with his relationship with Nurton, and all to do with Mrs George's desire to emigrate to the Wide Brown Land!
Also, there is nothing involuntary about Nurton giving up adulthood around the laydees of the house - the only reason he hasn't been (s)mothered to death is because he has chosen to go for the food instead of asserting his manhood, which he will get plenty of opportunity to do in other dwellings in his "Neighbours" neighbourhood (passim).
