Baby seals playing in an estuary, a pod of Dusky Dolphins leaping clear out of the water off Totaranui & the good company of my daughter.
I'm happy!

And plenty more who'd like to Elliehen, but the ties to Canterbury are pretty strong. I figure if my ancestors could walk over that hill and look at some shacks in a swamp and carry on then so can I (with fairly frequent trips to Tasman District to recharge the batteries).

Morning morning! A gorgeous day here in the Wairarapa which is nice. Hoping for a good weekend so we can get out in the garden. Our gingerbread house making workshop last night was a huge success, we even had people walking past looking through the window and coming into the shop to watch how it was done...it was great fun. We munched on beautiful cupcakes and drank orange juice and generally had a great time, but also learnt heaps and everyone went home with their own creation in a cake box. Have decided to do another one on Nov 17th once we are back from Noosa. I am going to be putting up some photos on the facebook page today.

cooks to hear about your success makes me smile,good on you.

earthangel4 - 2011-10-14 15:41:00

Hi All,

It will be good to come home and not live in fear,our neighbour found a guy on her couch asleep last night,it makes me so scared when dp is away.
Dp is going away when we move,I am unable to go,but next time,he is off too aussie to visit his family,I get to have presents when he gets back lol,I sound like a kid.

I am not sure,it may be gone,have not seen it in ages,as for me,I am stressed to the max,so will set another date,after I move.
It has been a hard year for us,but next year will soon be here,and just know it is going to be a good year.
With stress at work,and stress with my health,it has to be better next year.

Morning all, just back from a week away on our Bargain Cruise... and it was just that... a bargain. The food as usual was lovely and plentiful and the weather although it could have been better we were able to have a stroll around Gisborne, Napier and Tauranga without getting wet which was nice. A week back at work then a long weekend.
We have health issues in thehouse at the moment that have reinforced our need for healthy eating. Hubby is committed to the change which in the past has been a sticking point. I have always eaten realtively healthily ... just too much lol. But all in all the new regime is working and apart from the blip on the boat we stocked up the cupboards with fresh and healthy foods.... so back on track again.
Have a great day all.... I am going to tacke the mess that is my walk in wardrobe.... if I don't post in the next few days please send out a search party as I have been lost under the rubble...

toadfish - 2011-10-16 08:02:00

What has happen to all my friends, we ended up on page two !!!!
Hoping all have survived thus far in the world cup
Have a great day

rema - 2011-10-17 09:04:00

motorbo - 2011-10-19 10:35:00

I am loving my job!
Just back from a famil day out in the park (like I don't know it well enough already lol) ... a very enjoyable day & a great chance to get to know my work mates better :)
I'm pretty tired now though ... alot to learn & tomorrow I start on the computer system ... ugh :/ I'm sure I'll get the hang of it though.
Looks like my birthday will be a quiet one here in Marahau - want to swap Pam??? Not our ages though lol! I'm hoping for fine weather so I can get out for a kayak. Fingers xd.
Hope to hear some good news from you soon motorbo!!
And I hope all our Chch friends are coping with the downpour & flooding.

winnie231 - 2011-10-19 17:58:00

Dad had his psych assessment today and they said that he does not have dementia. Yay you might think, but they went on to say that it means he is making clear decisions to behave the way he is ie running away from the rest home, being aggressive etc.

Upshot is that they have asked me to move him out, and I won't be able to get him into any dementia unit because of his assessment. They said the time frame is two weeks - gulp.

Such a shame as they was such a good place for him.

sumstyle - 2011-10-19 18:00:00

Sorry to hear that sumstyle ... I hope you can get something sorted with a new home for him in time. Hugs xx

winnie231 - 2011-10-19 18:05:00

oh winnie thats one part of nz ive always wanted to go...and im going to next year!!! so great that its falling into place for u

motorbo - 2011-10-19 18:53:00

Unfortunately Psych Emergency were not able to give the rest home much notice of the appointment, so I did not find out about it in time (I usually sit in on them). Anyway Dad Told them he wanted to move out, and the rest home is saying fine, off you go! I don't blame them. I can probably eek out a bit more time while we find somewhere, they have been such a good rest home.

sumstyle - 2011-10-19 22:53:00
