Penny and Craig have returned to Australia with Rory in tow. Hannah seems to be coping on her own so far, was more concerned about where Craig was than Rory. Penny and Rory due back next Tuesday. Had a barbie on Sunday with a few people (Ross, Kath, Philly, Terry, Tania, Steve) to say goodbye to Penny and Craig.
Holiday in Paihia was good. Went on a fishing trip and caught two large trevally. Craig caught a metre long Mako that broke the surface and the line. Caught a John Dory with a live snapper. Had a major fish dinner the next day.
Went fishing on the Russel wharf, caught five snapper, two of which were keepable but we put them all back. Did heaps of pedalling around the place on water bikes and pedal boats, who needs a gym.
Swam heaps in the pool at the motel. Crickets invaded the place on the Wednesday night, so we left on Thursday instead of Friday. Dozens of them in the beds, in clothing, you name it they were there. It was like a horror movie, they aren't exactly dangerous, and we didn't keep finding people dead, but you open the fridge and they are already inside, you can't get into your bed, and they are not far from being a carpet outside. Never seen anything like it
Joined a gym on Thursday afternoon. Have been three times so far, and I am completely knackered. Some awesome (as in scary) ladies there last night lifting 30Kg in each hand.
Lots of work on, was somewhere yesterday when the Pakuranga substation exploded in a puff of smoke.
Otherwise, nothing major happening. The $90 underwear scandal muddles along. Auckland Blues beat Brive on Sunday (best of Northern Hemisphere against best of Southern). Super 12 starts this weekend.
Cricket team lost again. They blamed the weather, because it was shortened by rain, but England were running at 8.5 and over after the first two overs. Our bowlers were useless.
