After the attack of the love bug virus on Friday, which Jono warned me of (thanks Jono), I want to say how disappointed I am that nobody sent it to me. Some chaos here, was at a client where their London office was still eliminating the thing at 3pm our time, long day for them. Some people got 300 copies of the virus. Vodafone's mail server ran out of space.
The Waitara shooting continues to get debated in the news. Then a policeman was stabbed a couple of days later, to help their case.
The two Mt Eden escapers were caught.
Bill Gates is supposedly funding an America's Cup Challenge that is trying to lure Team NZ people away with big dollars.
Duck hunting season began on Saturday.
The siamese twins born early in the week died on Friday. They never had a heck of a lot of a chance.
The Warriors managed to lose 54-0 to St George. Another record. Good thing this is their comeback season. Come back to tiddly winks.
The Blues lost to the Cats, bummer, Canterbury beat the Waratahs, not by a lot. The Highlanders beat the Bulls, ACT only just beat the Reds in the end, by 6 points, were whipping them in first half. Chiefs beat the Sharks. Hurricanes and Stormers don't appear to have played.
I can't tell you how MU did, I haven't watched the game yet. Leceister beat Bradford 3-0, Liverpool had an exciting 0-0 draw with Southampton. Sunderland beat West Ham 1-0. The Arse beat Chelsea 2-1.
The Kingz won their last game of the season away against Parramatta Power. Excellent result, 2-1, with Silva scoring and Lee Jones, the guy who was really nice to Rory and Hannah.
My sad video went in to the competition on Friday, long shot to win a trip to Rotterdam for Euro 2000. Not sure if they have results this week. Koos, could meet you there.
In real sport, the Orcas had a 3-3 draw, very tense game. 11th graders lost 4-1 to Three Kings.
We had a mouse attack during the week, so Saturday afternoon we attempted to fill every orifice in the kitchen cupboards. There were a few holes where wiring and pipes had been installed. It took ages, but along with blocking holes we have installed some fatal food. Fingers crossed.
Saw Ross & Kath together for first time since before Doug died. We went out to dinner with them, I think a first since Thomas was born. Didn't get up to much mischief, we got back to their place by about 9:30.
Rory and Jared climbed up the soccer goal and collapsed it. I was not happy, made Rory ring Ross (he made it for him, originally) and explain what he had done. Then Sunday we went to Placemakers and bought some steel plates we could nail on and I gave Rory the bill. He asked me how old I was when I got my first bill. We managed to partially repair it before we ran out of time and weather. I was pretty pissed off about it, was considering removal of a limb as punishment but sort of got over it a bit by Sunday. Rory suggested we build a climbing wall so it doesn't happen again, not a bad idea really.
Rained like buggery all afternoon and evening yesterday, which was a bummer after Saturday which was like a spring day. We went and had lunch with Helen Anderson (Koos), turns out she also applied for the job at Lynfield (which Diana got), bit of a laugh. Sjaan came too, so we saw your actual photos of Sri Lanka. Then we went to mum's for dinner and I tried to get her modem going, but no real joy. Came home and watched Planet of the Apes on sky with Rory. Still a good movie after 32 years (made in 1968).
Hope someone loves you all, stay away from viruses.
