Well, labour day got in the way, sorry folks. Spent all my times having flat whites in cafe's, well one or two. Send your complaints to the subscriptions department at rackoff.noddy@email.co.nz.
Went away for the weekend, in a bach with no aerial, tv and two radios that didn't work. Something interesting might have happened in NZ, I just don't know about it yet.
In sport, the ABs beat Scotland this morning, not convincingly exaclty but never looked in danger of losing. Now advance to semi-final against France (who beat the Argies). Australia beat Wales and South Africa beat England and they play the other semi. Dream result is that Aussie lose to South Africa but Bobby Skinstadt and Joost Van Der Westhuizen suffer injuries that put them out for ten days and Honiball gets cited and misses a week. Getting down to the business end, happens right sharpish sometimes, dunnit? Fiji lost to the poms, Scotland beat Samoa, and the Argies just beat Ireland midweek.
I heard a rumour that the Football Kingz drew away with Newcastle this weekend, not a bad result if true. Man U lost to Olympic Marseilles I think.
Kiwi League team beat Tonga 67-0 or something but Stacey Jones broke his wrist, not a good result at all. Aussies beat the poms but don't know the score (neither do the poms half the time).
Auckland beat Wellington in the NPC final, no idea who did what in the other two divisions. Was trying to avoid all media until I saw the Scotland game this afternoon when replayed at 4:00pm.
Back caps disassembling themselves so they can lose the second test, should be over by the time you read this. We were five wickets down with about ten runs needed to match their first innings score.
Don't know if anyone died on the roads, but someone died in a freak rafting accident (althpough it was referred to as a canoeing accident in one bulletin). This was when someone who looked like the elephant man was driving the boat, one assumes. Surely a freak accident is when the bearded lady cuts herself while shaving? Silly really.
We are almost exactly one month from the election. Nothing happened of interest this week in that department, each poll is a few percent up or down on the last. No trends to speak of.
Took Hannah for a bike ride today, just me and her. She is improving and the confidence is growing. Momentous occasion, we no longer need a car seat or booster for either child now. Makes life one bucket load easier getting around.
While we were away, we got a new shower. An Englefield one with Gohe tap type stuff. Kids tried it out tonight. Starting to see benefits of the whole renovation thing, at last. Second turd-server could be on-line tommorow.
Today went to R&K's house, had a swim. Saw actual walking by Thomas who turns one on Wednesday.
Got your message Koos, what was there a call anyone in NZ for 5 quid offer on or something? Shame we missed you, couldn't really ring you by the time we got the message and I had finished talking to Sjaan (thought you might be here).
We holidayed in Mahurangi, went to Ti Point and fished (caught eight shrimps), had a ride in the glass bottom boat at Goat Island, had fish and chips at Leigh, went for a small kayak ride, visited downtown Puhoi (not discernable from uptown Puhoi). Nice break, kids had a good time. I need more of a break than that, but we shall see. Working out of home seems to be working so far. Spent all day out at clients one day so didn't really feel like a day at home. Snuck off to the Observatory with Rory's class trip another day. Not bad, I suppose. Cricket starts this saturday. Practice tomorrow.
