Sorry about lateness. Yesterday was a pseudo mental health day while APEC was on.
Well, what an action packed week or so.
APEC dominated news, especially with Indonesians being here including Jose Ramos Porta or whatever his name is (been on telly more than the newsreaders lately). So we were thoroughly thumped between those two, all week and weekend.
I assume you know about all the horrible shit that is going down in East Timor.
Was terribly inconsiderate for the Ben & Olivia trial to conclude during the week, with the verdict on Saturday (the day Bill Clinton arrived). Scott Watson was found guilty. Once that came out, we found out what a true creep he really is. Now he is appealing (legally, I mean, he isn't particularly appealing to me, in case you are worried). I think they need good reason before an appeal should be called, repeating a 500 witness process seems stupid to me.
So many other things happened, I am going to forget most of it.
There was rugby, Auckland lost to Canterbury due to a last minute drop goal and a try that was disallowed that was really a try (calls for the video ref continue, being trialled in Australia). Waikato modestly beat Southland, Wellington beat Taranaki, Harbour beat Northland, so Otago must have beaten Counties. Didn't watch much of it. Story during the week that Josh and Todd Blackadder are going to play in Japan, seems like crap mostly.
The Roosters lost, sorry Craig, but they blew it. Melbourne are in the semis, as are St George. Manly and Norths are going to merge, probably.
Netball World Champs start in CHCH this weekend, 27 teams, a billion games. Should give the media something to think about.
Agassi was lucky at the US open, didn't think Serena Williams would win, but she beat Hingis. She looks like a bloke from behind, must be caterpillar fungus or something. The two sisters won the women's doubles. Talk of Mr Williams mating with Mrs Hingis to produce super-tennis player.
Rory played some tennis with me and Ross on Sunday, Ross beat me 6-4, our first game for a while. I stuck a piece of wood in my foot on Saturday evening to slow myself down, it worked. Wasn't too bad, but couldn't stand up for the rest of the day. Foot mostly better now. Rory is quite keen on the tennis so I will encourage it when I can, as long as Hannah stays out of his range.
Man U scored one goal against Liverpool, but won 3-2 as Liverpool scored two against Liverpool as well. Peter not too happy.
Worked on the house Friday, Saturday, and pathetically in Sunday. Been burning down the house in the fireplace to get rid of the wood. Made a picture frame out of some of it yesterday, also put the wood bits on my wood vice, put up another shelf in Rory's room (had to after removing so many at the back door, was just feeling a bit funny.
We have some gib up in the new laundry, with the cat-door now fitted, and cats are using it.
Last night, I wet myself at about 12:30am, knocked my water over (practically full), straight onto my pillows and the bed. Slept on a very damp towel the rest of the night, but still slept well so must have been tired.
Kids had yesterday off due to APEC. Went to see Tarzan with Rory yesterday, Hannah was off at a friends place. She rang up and said "Hello, it's Hannah here. Can I please speak to Emaline, Corrine?" Sounded sooooo cute.
Gavin lent us Tekken 2, Diana doesn't really approve, and Hannah is the best player so far. Rory started martial arts lessons on Thursday night, going for about ten weeks.
Traffic turned out to be mostly okay, despite APEC, because most people stayed away. Random motorway closures today for various dignitaries (complete gits). Motorcades just drive through traffic lights without stopping, could be fun. Some army driver caused a five car prang early last week and was taken off driving duties. And now we have the cute little electronic signs on the motorway to inform us of what is happening, cool huh?
Massive present opening this morning. Furby was DOA, so getting replacement today. Opened front door this morning to find a present from Penny and Craig (what timing). Things from Mum arrived yesterday. Rory bought Hannah a soccer outfit for Barbie. Wanted me to carry it to the checkout so he didn't look like a dork.
Hannah doing the kindy leaving today, then school tomorrow. Met her teacher last week, and went to kindy with her for last time on Friday, also took her home.
Well, that about sums it up, better go do some quick work before I go to kindy.
