From Maurice in Sydney

 Yes, I keep getting lots of offers of millions in unclaimed lottery prizes, unclaimed inheritances as well as offers of unconditional true love, all from WesT Africa. I sometimes read them for a laugh. I have also replied to some (of the money ones) telling the sender that I am referring the details to Scotland yard as well as the Australian Federal Police! I replied to one of the “love” scams saying that my wife was not impressed with me receiving such e-mails. Her reply was “Dearest, I am happy that you want to establish our relationship…”

 One lonely farmer here in NSW got up on TV and said how he had been conned. He had sent this Nigerian women thousands of dollars and she still could never quite get the visa to come to Australia, she always needed just an extra payment – poor guy! (He had thought it was for real!

 Hope you are all well, we have had a taste of winter here over the past few days.

 All the best
