hi xmas again,
it is always fun with children and young sharon mothering around.
food and wine consumed at a great rate.

There is a downer, everything seems to speed up as people try to get everything done and bought before xmas day.

Then xmas day, should you go to that persons house or later to another.

i just want to lay down and have a wee nanny nap and play with my toys.

how selfish is that!!

Flatmates

Friends of ours have turned up,well we were forewarned and did not go on holiday.

They are shifting to Timaru, and need a place to live either buying or renting.
Its been good fun encouraging people to spend lots money, sticking opinons when they are not needed.
I like all the houses , its going to be fun having them around,well Debbie anyway.

After hours is fun, its good food , and good red wine.

The question that has to be asked is Timaru ready for Mark ???

End of winter

hello again , end of winter, spring is in the air.

oops spoke too soon it's raining again. Election in 5 weeks i think we need a change maybe the greens.
They are such a forward looking organistions.

holidays

hi back again, my wife and i , have just been to cairns,queens land for a bit of fun.
We went snorkeling and scuba diving on the Barrier reef.

the weather was great, tropical climate, balmy 28% days. but... we had to come home to cold damp winter.
but home is where the heart is.

I am only as old, as the woman i feel.

This is my fiftieth year, who would know with a face like this. meaning there is a lot of great birthday parties coming.
But before , my birthday, is some of my other contempories. Monty's on saturday and my bro in law ,is in april.
What a bloody excuse to have a beer and and play being twenty again .
I think that's great, i still think i am a twenty something or close....

anyway monty's first and more to come, what fun ???? my poor head

hot ???

Well I'm back, i have been on holiday for the last couple of weeks, the family and I, went to Napier and surrounding district for sun,sand , wineries.
The area, we tikey toured(a technical term) great, sea world with its dolphin and seals .

Mission estate winery was really something, is where father john trained, and the wine is not bad either.
Went to gissie(gisbourne) and tolga bay, the longest jetty and of course walked to the end and took photo's, like any tommy tourist.

Ended up in taupo for the last night, quite like this place with is lake and good weather.
but this global warming is good, 32 degrees on Sunday and just as warm on Saturday, a bit too hot eh ???

January

Well its january finished, nice hot weather and enjoying being outside .
Been away on holiday, up to napier and gissy(Gisbourne).
Also went to taupo, great wine and scenery nice travelling around.
i have never been to these places, like going overseas for a holiday.

Maybe i should explore my country first, could be safer and more fun.

2008

well.. it is 2008, a new year, what will happen this year.
i don't know. The kids are well and having fun and moving forward, Sharon and I, are healthy,well a bit seedy from new years eve.

Every day you wake up is a good day.
