Hi ArtLover
You certainly leave alot to the imagination but my intuition tells
me we have some common grounds..........I travel between spain and
here and sometimes find hard to keep a social life
going.....usually I enjoy going to the theatre, the ballet.....I
keep fit dancing and my main hobby is sculpture........anyway if
you are interested in a friend...... here I am now

Bonjour Didi (ou Bea?),
You're right, I work with computers: I develop web sites and do
graphics.
I'm from Austria, and you?

hi george
you are a man of few words which is unusual for a creative
person.....i was wondering if where you are at, is already
morning, or are you still in sydney?
I was born in a country surrounded by jungle, adventurous, very
high mountains, the best dancing music .........excellent
coffee....amazing journalists and writers as well as renown
artists......
For a moment i thought you could be french, but actually you do
look and (sound) more from the north of europe.[...]

bogota where i studied fine arts and worked in advertising, then i
moved into the fashion industry designing clothes........ and a

No worries, but I am probably one of those OTHER people.
Developing and designing web sites is what I do for a

It's been a long time since I was in Colombia (I think it was in
1982), when I spent four exciting months in South America (with my
- than - wife). We enjoyed it. Still have some great slides from
Bogota...
I am from Austria, originally a civil engineer, but changed my
life by moving into publishing and graphic design 15 years or so
ago. I am still publishing contemporary literature (just as a
hobby) and transferred my design skills onto the Internet a few
years ago.

...and I did it on the ground: I used to be a tour operator in my
early Australian days, driving outback adventure tours with a
LandCruiser and trailer all around the country.
At one of this occasions I made a joy flight in a Piper around the
Flinders Ranges...
So what is your life like these days? Still flying? Where do you
live in the City?
Bye for now,
George

hi george
i am curious of how you ended up coming to australia, you sound
like you have travel quite a bit.....amazing that you have been to
colombia, did you go to other places besides bogota?...usually
people are frightened and would never choose to go there......on
the other hand that is why it is still so special even though
certain foreign companies try to utilize the indigenous people of
the amazon as slaves for mines explotation and other natural
resources.......anyway i better change the subject otherwise i may
bore you with the colombian problematic.
i am now trying to decide wether or not to go to Darwin on friday
since a friend that is in charge of the charter flights call this
morning, asking for help for the east timor rescue and peace
operations at the base...besides giving them a hand there, i could
probably make some contacts for work in the future.....as you can
see i am not working at the moment, i had a very hectic year after
separating from my husband, moving to a new place, and
reorganizing my life.....
i better leave for now and hope to hear from you soon[...]

Margit, one of my housemates is moving out at the end of
October.
One one hand it's good for the house was crowded, but on the other
hand I guess I have to find somebody else to minimise my expenses

I don't like that idea very much; I'd rather move into the

Hi Bea,
And greetings to Darwin! The Sydney news: in November, my other
housemate also moves back to India; meaning that I'll finally get
the house back to myself.
I just hope that business is picking up (so far, nobody has called
yet, even with a daily ad in the paper...) so that I can afford it
by myself... otherwise I'd have to find a place to store my office
and bring your car up to the NT...
You wrote you're offered permanent positions in Darwin... is this
serious? ...who's looking after the kids? Are you still coming
back next week?
Curious to hear all about it...

...why well-off people like Karl and now yourself are snapping
when you think that others are just after your money? Is that some
fear that because you have this wealth you might be exploited by
everybody who has less? I certainly would never ask you for
anything for me!
With Karl at the dinner table I just pointed out that half of his
guests were out of red wine and he took it instantly the wrong way
as if I wanted to get drunk on his money - but if I could give a
dinner party I would either offer what I could or simply say sorry
that I had run out of red wine.
With you you suddenly cut a conversation short when I mention a
little hatch that broke when you closed the clove compartment and
would cost maybe 40 Dollars to replace - but when I am told that I
broke something in somebody's car I'd offer to get it fixed no

Dear Bea,
I hope you guys arrived safe and well in Colorado! The last few
days before your departure were quite stressful for all of us,
let's hope in the future we will travel together...
I took the boys home and kept the car to have it cleaned sometime.
Also I'll bring this letter for the doctor to the post for you.
It's empty in my house, not even Angelika is home. Brett (Ralph's
pilot friend) invited you and me for a sailing trip, but I'm
staying in, for this weekend will hopefully bring a good housemate
for the time being. We'll see how we go from there when you get
home in February.
Take good care of yourself (and let your hair grow, Rapunzel).

Dear Bea,
This weekend was filled with answering calls and interviews for a
new housemate. The phone rang all day and I invited about a dozen
people to the house. There was even a nice Colombian girl from
Bogota! She would have been my candidate but than I thought you
would be jealous...
Anyway, she would like to meet you when you get back. Most people
were actually nice and so I based my decision on the time they
wanted to stay (most of them just for a few months) and I picked a
German for 8 weeks only; just the time you're away so we will be
free to move to the beach in February...
The Mercedes is cleaned inside out and parked safely in Millennium
Tower. Not many other news at the moment.

Hi 'Baby',

As for Millennium Tower mail, I was of course just kidding (about

reading a good book, taking care of my body and my soul, and lots

I am glad that you are going to Ralph's "country property" I hope
you can join him for xmass or better why don't you join me?
by the way the book I am reading is by the same author of "Like

Dear Bea,
I wish I could... Ralph has invited me (because he needs a car to
get there, I suppose) but I've not made up my mind yet.
Angelika has gone so I'm seeing the Colombian for the small room
today. Maybe she's moving in after all. Otherwise no news. It's
raining a little bit after 34 degrees yesterday.
I will have no work for the holiday season - and I miss you very
much!

I think it is a good idea a change of scenery and have some

not get bore with him, is he still seeing Beth?
I am surprise that you decided to have the Colombian girl moving
in, mainly after what you wrote to me but anyway knowing your
history it will bring even more spice into our relationship....and
has the German moved in already, is he nice? At least you will not

No reason for jealousy... But Maribelle's not that reliable, said
she would come by 'in the morning' and it's already 11am! Must be
running on Colombian time...
If I go with Ralph it'll be for a couple of weeks to make the 10
hours drive worthwhile.
He's not with Beth anymore. She needed some financial support and
when she couldn't get it from Ralph she went back to her previous
lover... Hmmm.
The German lives here since last weekend and SHE is doing OK. Her
boyfriend will be coming for a couple of weeks, too.
Enjoy your walk!

Dear Bea,
I'm missing you so much - and it's only been 10 days (and 46 to
come!) - don't know how to wait for much longer, I've been pacing
up and down the house all Sunday, going out only to buy the
newspaper and cigarettes (yes, still smoking...) I wish you
wouldn't have left me alone in Sydney...
You've got at least family around you (which seems to be
exhausting according to your messages that you needed 12 hours
sleep instead of having a relaxed time?)
Thursday Ralph and I drive to the property, at least some company
for the holidays, over Xmas Ariadne and Andreas with partners will
also be coming up; we don't know yet if we're also spending New
Years Eve up there. Depends on how crowded the place gets. I'll
take my laptop but I'm not sure if and when I will be able to go
online.
Maribel's been disappointing. Didn't show nor call all Sunday.
Thanks to her I'll now have the room empty for two weeks; it's too
late now to place another ad in the paper. In the new year a
friend of Andrea might move in for a few weeks, and her boyfriend
Andreas is also expected. I think I will take my car in January
and go walkabout to keep sane.
Hope your knee is getting better. Don't overdo skiing, look after
yourself and get plenty of rest and think (or dream) of me...
Love you,

What exactly is your flight schedule?

Subject: Ralph's 'invitation' cancelled
Date: 22/12/1999 8:54 AM
To: Bea Blue, beablue@hotmail.com
Hi Bea,
I met with Ralph yesterday and he made me so angry that I
cancelled our country trip.
As you might remember, I was invited to the property in return for
a big favour I did for the family: design and production of a
memorial booklet for Lorraine's (his ex-wife) funeral.
Knowing his finances I offered him to pay for the drive up there
out of my own pocket but than he says to me I also had to buy my
own food (what kind of 'invitation' is this for a full week's
work?) and than he also expected me to taxi him to the pub every
night (20 km away) when I only wanted to go for swims, walks and
early nights...) and besides, the house was going to be so full
that I had to bring a sleeping bag for the floor!
Anyway, I didn't explain it to him (he wouldn't understand) but
said I have to go to Spain instead and couldn't drive him there
anymore...
So I'll be spending Xmas in Sydney...
Love you,
George
Subject: Renting vs Buying
Date: 22/12/1999 10:08 AM
To: Bea Blue, beablue@hotmail.com
Hi Bea,
>please tell me what are your doubts about renting a beach
house,
>have you change your mind???
Here's some considerations:
I hate moving and I'm not too keen to go somewhere for six months
just to move again.
(One of the reasons I lived in Belvoir Street for five years...)
I'd love a real 'home'.
You only need to bring a suitcase, I need a truck for
everything!
Moving doesn't just involve me but also my business:
I need two telephone/ISDN lines (not worthwhile installing them on
a short term).
I need to change lots of listings and directories (some have a one
year turnaround).
I need to print cards and other stationery; a business needs a
permanent address.
It's too expensive: Buying a property is sensible investment;
renting one is money wasted. As for what you said about the
Olympic Games, it's actually the other way round: Nobody buys a
house for two weeks, but the rents will go up through the roof
(I've found beach houses for $400+ per week. Ross's cottage in
Maianbar for $220 is a bargain). In comparison, the Krausmann
property was only $150,000 for 20 acres and it looks gorgeous
(I've seen photos).
If you want a getaway for the summer (as a relationship testing
period?) I better keep Belvoir Street for a little longer and we
take our time and search for something lasting, like a
warehouse/office/weekender combination for the four of us and the
two babies coming? (My mother wrote that she would love to see
grandchildren...) Or we just go for a walkabout up Cape York?
Well, just some thoughts...
Love you,
George

Hi George
I understand your situation and hopefully you will also see my
side of things....I have been honest with you about how difficult
it is for me moving in with you, and you have to realise that I
don' want to have any doubts specially after just finishing a
relationship of seven years, I have two teenage daughters and I
just can't take any chances I must be sure, in order to be
possitive we have to know each other quite well and as I said
before I would like to spend as much time as my obligations with
my daughters permit with you...you know I want to do it...I just
don't want them or me to be hurt again I have to be sure we have
to both compromise and find a way in which we both feel good...we
need to talk and clear all our doubts or simply our questions and
first of all I have to be free from my previous marriage. When I
met you; you were looking for a beach house to move into and share
with another person to pay the rent.... I thought the idea of
sharing it with you would be perfect as it would give us the
opportunity of getting to know each other and it would be easy for
both of us wihought complicating our lives it would give us the
perfect way to really experience our feelings for each
other....
buying aproperty is a big compromise.... would you be willing to
sell your apartment in austria and invest with me in a beach
house?
would you be so sure that you would consider doing this?
don't forget I need a truck for the things I am bringing, not a
suitcase it is a big move for me too
just a bit concern[...]

I can't, my mother lives in my apartment. But I would sell it
later to invest in a warehouse, the beach house should just be
fun, (a dream, a luxury?) not permanent? I only ever can buy ONE
thing at the time and if I need to WORK to make money I seriously
couldn't do it out of a beach house... And for a shared investment
I'd have to be married with you!
Andrea has moved into her new (ware)house: I hope we can 'inspect'
it soon.

Bea,
We've got to look at the bigger picture. It's not just you or me
it's four (and maybe even more) people. I love you now. I don't
change like the weather, I evolve with the changing situations. We
shouldn't make ANY compromise, we need to find a common
denominator...
Before I met you I was dreaming of a partner (not in the business
sense) who would like to share her life with mine and get settled
in a HOME. For two people a house within an hour of the City would
have made sense. With you it's not just you but also the little
princess and Maria. They've got to go to school/uni. And later a
couple of babies, maybe. Therefore we need to find something which
suits ALL of us, and that's certainly not a beach house. And
certainly not Millennium Tower. This is the reason why I thought
it would be a little luxury for us (and an investment for you that
pays better than the 5% from the bank if you wanted to invest in
something). It wouldn't work in that way that I live there and you
use it as a weekender. If you want to do more 'testing' than just
live with me in Belvoir Street. And when we're ready we move. Or
even take the fisherman's cottage in Maianbar for a few
months.
I just came back from Andrea and Ragan's new house (a little merry
after three beers) and I'm very impressed. They found what I was
dreaming of: a converted factory, actually two houses joined
together with a court yard in the middle. One of it two stories,
the other one two and a half. One for us and the office, the other
one for the kids. It was 850,000.
>have you decided to join me in Spain? it would probably be a
good
>experience for both of us.
YES, I decided to be crazy enough to join you in Madrid (I already
told you that) but as of today I didn't get any flight
confirmations yet. In what sense do you think it would be a good
experience? For both of us? It certainly would have been a
guaranteed one if we had booked tickets on time! Anyway I keep
trying. I must be love sick...

Dear Bea,
Doing it my way I've put my hands on a flight on Wednesday,
arriving in Vienna the next day. I don't know the arrival time in
Madrid yet, because it's not Lauda who's doing that service.
(Probably Austrian Airlines) but as I told you on the phone,
nobody issues tickets right now. The airport office looks only
after lost or stolen tickets. Wednesday morning they're back at
work and that's giving me just enough time to organise everything
for departure on the very same day. If your second parking is not
taken by Jason or Di I will leave my car there and take the
airport bus from George Street.
Now I need to find enough warm clothes for the winter and organise
the house for six weeks... Tonight I'm invited to a Christmas
dinner and will get very drunk, I hope!
Will you pick me up? (esta el aeropuerto lejos?) - I'll ring
Miguel (91) 553 3391 on Thursday or you could find out from Lauda
when the connecting 'avion' from Vienna arrives. Do we need a car?
(I renewed my driver's license yesterday for another three years.)
Is there a good Millennium party somewhere in Madrid? This will be
three great weeks for us! The beginning of something very special!
And when I go to Austria I will know that I see you again in
Sydney in a short time...
However, I'm only coming to Spain if you will marry me...

Hi Bea,
Have a safe trip tomorrow. Hopefully the luggage will not be late,
the plane not hijacked (like the Indian Airbus) and not fall down
from the sky (like the Korean 747)...
You must be looking forward to have holidays from Little Princess
and Maria.
See you Thursday in Madrid! And say hi from me to our postmaster
Kurt and family.
Can't wait,
George

OK, I forgot you're one day behind Sydney time...
Yes. I got them but have not confirmed the Madrid arrival. The
plane gets very early (about 6am) to Vienna and according to my
information the connection is not NG but Austrian or Tyrolean
Airlines. We'll know for sure on Wednesday.
Love,
George

Hi Baby,
I found flight NG9258 leaving 15:00 arriving 18:00 on the net as
well; maybe the airport staff didn't know because they said it'll
be OS8251 leaving 19:25 arriving 22:20...
We'll see in a couple of days. One thing seems certain: I'm
arriving in Vienna at 10:50 Thursday morning. One way or the other
we'll hug each other that same night!
PS. Don't reply to this address.
Lots of love,
George

Baby,
I'll be leaving Sydney at 20:35 (leaving home at 6:30 hopefully
finding parking); the most likely arrival will be Thursday 18:00
in Madrid. Nobody works in this country on Monday and Tuesday
(because Xmas and Boxing Day were on a weekend) so I'll know
tomorrow morning for sure.
I'll send you the details to your hotmail box. You get to Madrid a
day earlier so you can check on the airport or later at an
internet cafe in town.
We can count now in hours instead of weeks until we kiss each
other...
Love you,
George

Dear Bea,
I was so worried about you when I saw the news on TV about that
killer storm in Europe! Hopefully you've made it safely into
Madrid...
Due to the weather conditions in Spain and Austria the flight
tonight was cancelled and will leave on Friday instead. I got my
tickets this morning and will be arriving in Madrid on 1/1/2000 at
6pm (Flight NG 9258, leaving Vienna at 3pm). All flights from
Sydney to Madrid and back to Vienna are confirmed, I'm only
waitlisted for my return to Sydney, but that's not a problem. Will
be funny to be in the air at the turn of the millennium (keep your
fingers crossed that there's no Y2K bug in the 777 computers).
Pity that I have to wait two more days until I see you but there's
nothing I could do to influence Mr Petrus. I guess I have to bring
a rain jacket...
Love you and see you Saturday,
George

Well, Bea, I'm going to make it; but could you???
I'm worried about your flight into this bad storm since you didn't
call yet, nor email...
I really hope you arrived safely and I can hold you in my arms
this Saturday!!!
Love you,

Dear Bea,
I still haven't heard from you but I know you got safely to
Madrid. I stopped worrying because there were no news of a plane
crash, and that's good news. Maybe you just couldn't find a
working phone. Anyway, the storm has eased but the temperature is
around zero... brrr...
It's only hours now that I will hold you into my arms again - and
I'm so glad that it will be on the very first day of the new
millennium.
What a great start into our future!
...that will warm us up!
Soon,
George

Dear Bea,
I don't know why we had no communication since you left Colorado
(there must be lots of internet cafes in Spain), but I sincerely
hope I will see you tomorrow at 6pm at the airport in Madrid after
a long flight across the turn of a millennium...

The very last time online in the 20st century...
I'm sorry that you went to the airport in vain, but you said you
would call from Madrid and everybody in the house could have told
you my arrival time; it also surprises me that once you were there
Lauda Air didn't tell you that the flight from Sydney was
cancelled...
Anyway, what do you think about celebrating the first day of the
millennium with me in a hot bubbly bath drinking Champagne?
Always thinking of you,
George :-*
Christmas Card (snail mail)
My beautiful George
Thank you for all the wonderful special moments you have given
me. You have awaken in me dreams I had long forgotten and
feelings that were gone I thought forever.
All the best for you for the end of this year. I will be with
you in my thoughts and spirit and will visit you in my
sleep.
With all my love
Bea
