Back on-line..

Hello!
Seems everyone has been in the wars of late, and, if going on recent performance, it seems I must be next (working on the youngest in each family theme)... cant wait, as I dare say 3 days off work would be worth a broken bone or two... although definitely not over my birthday!

I for one wouluf definitely like to be on G/ma's email tree, hopefully she'll blog once of twice as well. I've been slack on the blogs of late, email access has been a prob with my former flatties taking our connection with them. But, never fear I have the dial-up working and my ancient laptop on (you know its old when the spell-checker doesn't recognise 'internet' and 'e-mail').

Speaking of the former flatties, the couple we were living with moved out a couple of weeks back. Jeff will be taking their place in the flat soon for a couple of months until he gets settled in his new job and they (Jeff and Kate) decide what they wish to do re travel, accomodation, etc.

Have been catching up with Jeff a bit of late, he's been waiting for his stuff to arrive in AKL from Palmy for a couple of weeks now and is getting sick of the lonely apartment as you can imagine. Hopefully his stuff will arrive on Sat so he can move in.

I spent Queen's Birthday weekend at Kuaotunu Beach (North of Whitianga) with 12 mates from Knox. It really was heavenly. We even had amazing weather. I fully recommend to anyone wishing to get away to book a bach online, so easy and relatively cheap. We got a bach that sleeps upto 18 for $180 per night. Perfect.

Very envious of you Jenni and Pete - Jazz in Broadbeach - where the only thing to complain about is too much jazz. sigh...

Mary's high on life, she was working out at East Tamaki (miles away from Central Akl) for her first rotation at Lion Nathan, but as of couple of weeks ago has started at the Newmarket site (stone's throw away from home) in the innovation team. She's lovin the new role, marketing and designing new bevvies, etc. On her first week they sent her to a 3 day conference (pub crawl), think she's only just starting to recover. She's also started her legal profs course (online) for which she has her first assessment on Saturday. haha I say.

OK i'm starvin.

See you in the soup, when the peas grow :)
