This is for John Weiss - I have been trying to send you photos at the e-mail address that came up on our address book from your e-mails, but they won't go through. I sent six and two have now gone but the message keeps coming back that the recipient has been rejected by the server - tesco.net? Can you please send you full e-mail address to me at ksara@tesco.net. Also, anyone who has entered this address in their address book - we are gonna change over to Telewest Broadband soon; I think it will then be Blueyonder. Will keep everyone posted.

On second thoughts, Ann, I am also a mixture of races: not really white - have Jewish and black ancestors - also French, Russian, Polish, Welsh and a smattering of English. I WAS a Catholic for two years, many moons ago - even had to have dispensation from the Pope to get married to a Catholic guy. Did me no good at all, spiritually, emotionally, physically or monetarily. It certainly did not bring me nearer to Il Papa. But it did bring me nearer to G-d. I think I'm cute ! - (but not in the nasty way that people use when being sarcastic). And I am extremely interested in anthropology.
