Or there are my pearls or wisdom that I used to give my girls to handle schoolyard bulies....

"People who have to make others feel bad in order for themselves to feel good are just not nice people who obviously have self esteem issues - don't worry they have to live with themselves.... punishment enough"

My boss has resigned - not the first permanant casaulty of the EQ - moving to the North Island. (sorry my spelling is bad, I am seriously wondering if I've had a stroke - lots of letters getting mixed up this week)

He *was* my 2nd best manager ever, but recently he said I had an ugly face - a comment that really floored me, as I held him in high regard. I reckon that the stress from the EQs has affected his abilities, ...and self-control. So all in all, given that he abdicated a lot of responsibility after Feb and hasn't been there for us, I'm ok with him leaving.

How can the blossom tree outside my office window look so beautiful when I'm so cold??? Someone just emailed me this link and I must admit it made me a bit teary but I'm very glad to have it and in years to come I think it will be a lovely memento of the Christchurch that was. So for any other Christchurch people who would like to remember http://vimeo.com/12199910.

THat sounds very tasty CookE - was just thinking about dinner and feeling very uninspired. Would you be able to paste recipe some time please or am I just being dim in not being able to find it using the search function?

Good morning,
lovely day here in paradise :)
I may have found a home ... it's a beach front 2 storey bach in the center of Marahau. I'm negotiating the rent with the owners as their tenant last summer paid more than I want to.
We'll see what happens ...
And I'd love that risotto recipe too please Pam :)

Aaargh - my oven door just exploded. Five million tiny pieces of glass went seven metres, or at least that's the furthest bit I've found so far. I've been extracting tiny bits from between the tiles, emptying more from inside the toaster, and grovelling under the table for a hour and I've got most of it I think, except what's under the fridge and dishwasher which can wait till husband or sons appear. . There was a lot of force behind it too - a bit went through my jeans and cut my leg. It's a very minor cut but if a child had been standing in line with it, or one of our pets, they could have been hit in the eye very easily. I'll being ringing to complain on Monday but I bet I won't get far.

Good luck with the house Rae..

Thank goodness you're ok apart from your leg Greer.. exploding oven doors were covered on Fair Go - a couple of years ago at least now.. I think the manufacturers replaced them..

Have a lovely weekend Everyone.. :-)

Morning all,
gosh Glen - how scary for you! I hope you get an appropriate response. Keep us posted.
I'm off out kayaking today. Not too much wind at the moment - I hope it stays that way!

It was a Westinghouse. More surprising than scary really - I couldn't work out what had happened for a minute. Despite all my cleaning last night bits are still appearing from somewhere. Last nights casserole was just ready to go in when the door exploded, then I told son I'd make his favourite savory muffins and pumpkin soup when he came out for lunch - not so easy. Pumpkin soup and cheese rolls browned in the sandwich press seemed quite acceptable though. I might use this as an excuse for pizza tonight I think. I've been painting this afternoon and don't feel at all inspired about cooking. Getting superfit is obviously going to be a great side effect of your summer location and job Rae. Is your agenda going to include kitesurfing or windsurfing - I love the look of those.

I'm just filling in time before leaving for Hamilton shortly.. a bit of distraction on the messageboard - Jenni was admitted to hospital there a a short time ago, worrying symptoms, mostly after lifting something heavy at work - took her to a doctor on Wednesday.. given pain meds, got worse, a few hours ago she saw another emergency doctor who phoned a specialist neurologist based at the hospital and he went there to wait for her to arrive - thankfully with her boyfriend as very caring support. She's been admitted to the acute ward, under observation. Has had blood tests - white cell count high, no obvious infections though.. chest x-ray, including of her lung that has previously collapsed several times, many questions.. something showing that could be 'a few things' - CAT scan being done today.
I'll be there around 6.30 - 7am just as the nursing staff change, so can be with her.. would have left earlier if able to be with her.. - staff said wouldn't be able to till around 7am. She's only 21, has been through so much, please this isn't any more..

Fingers crossed that this is a minor setback for Jenni Juliewn - you have alot of people thinking about you both. Thanks for the risotto CookE - stovetop recipes are onn the agneda this week! I was pretty close but the jeans were a good protection. I rang Electrolus this morning - "Glass sometimes does that, you mighht have hit it with something at some time...!". So I might I guess but not noticeably. It's irritaing to have to pay for it but how much worse if a child had got that blast in the face. The guy at Consumer says that that is always the line taken and in their view it may just be unavoidable with doors that are entirely glass i.e impossible to guarantee the safety of glass that is regularly heeated over time, but in Consumers view manufacturers should replace the glass free. I think there should be a warning in the door so parents know to keep children well away.

We have a new Westinghouse oven..am eyeing it wearily now...surely Insurance would help and they would ask questions of the Company...

jbsouthland - 2011-09-20 09:20:00

It will be just under the excess jbsouthland and after talking to Westinghouse and Consumer it's not is such a very unusual thing to happen and they have an excellent line in "we're not responsible" patter. I don't get the impression that Westinghouse are worse than others.

Hi all,
I have a new addiction - sea kayaking! I went out on a full day trip yesterday & it was just fantastic. Part of the trip was a paddle out around Tonga Island to see the seal colony - the pups are sooo cute. They were swimming up to the kayaks for a closer look at us then diving away when their bravery ran out.
I'm certainly going to get fit if I keep this up. I spent about 5hrs walking in the park on Tues - it was the 3rd anniversary of Dad's death & a lovely place to be remembering him as he gave me my love of tramping & bush walks.
Still no news on the living situation but I'm happy enough with where I'm at.I know it'll all work out fine in the end :)

Julie - thinking of you & hoping things are going well for Jenni.

Have a good day everyone xx
