Thailand let out a sigh of relief when you left and no doubt Malaysia has drawn a deep breath as you paint the town red, or whatever colour UV paint you have left.

The Power Rangers Movie was on the other day and i considered Sky+ recording it, then it hit me that it really wouldn't give me the fix I needed, so alas, it went unwatched (probably by the whole country).

We've had a couple of nights out in Bedford, each as disapointing as the next, but we set such a high bar with you girls in Laos, Vietnam and Thailand that nights out were never going to be the same.

Reminders or our time together are still everywhere; the sand in my rucksack, the smell of damp on my sarong, blood on my flip flops and of course, the documentaries Mickie recorded for me on SE Asia.

Hope you're having a great time, I spent last night partying with 6000 Italians as our boys lifted the World Cup in Berlin, Samuel Michael Manners even made a guest appearance in a Beckham shirt and novelty Italy football hat.

We miss you so much, wll I do, I can't speak for the emotionless Matt and the generally indiferent SMM, but Rausa's heart is definately still with you lassies (not the dog).

Keep mighty morphing,

Your Italian Israeli Kiwi friend,
