Just Me.

Well this is me at the moment just finished downloading. Will now go and and put the bed on. Looking a little blonder, tieder and always enough gum to go around. Working at the Rat Hole still two days a week, can stretch the limits of energy at times, but it's good for a yak and catch up with people. Kids all good, animals all good, work all good. Anton off to Auckland this afternoon for a couple of nights. A bit wet and windy like the rest of the island so an early night with a milk milo and my book that I started this afternoon. Hope where ever you all are you are safe, happy and the scratching has stopped. From the Bluff to the Cape, loads of love, Looby x x x

Nyah is bored.

Dont leave a camera around when Nyah gets bored!

Off to Taupo.

With Ralf only days away from returning from E/Timor Margo decides to go for a wee drive to Taupo in a campervan, with 3 kids. It was Jade birthday and although plans to the mountain went awry when bad weather hit, it still sounded like a great time was had in Taupo at the hot pool, pizza etc. After anton did a bit of tyre kicking he decided it was safe for them to go, and go they did!

Nyah turns 9!

Only one more year at being 9 Nyah. Shea had a cool day and dressed to impress with Dad playing the waiter. Mates, games and lashings of bolly what else could you ask for......... ah yes a Pony. Well not this year sorry. Pony toys, books, jewellery and poster will have to do. She had long time mates to help her celebrate, mates whos birthdays are all within days so they had a very busy time over the holidays.

Blast from the past.

At the begining of the holidays my ole mate from Blenheim, (but now living in Balclutha) came for a visit. Kids grown up and Caro not aged a bit. It was a great way to feel old. After a quick stop over in Blenheim she is back to the grind of being a school teacher! It was sooooo good to see you Caro!

More Hockey and Netball.

back into the winter sports scene. Hockey and Netball for Nyah, Shea Netball and Smallbore shooting for Connor. Will get some better pics this weekend. But hey while this damn thing is behaving I shoving photos in left right and bloody centre.

More Raro

This is a pic of anton's new tatt. He got it on the last day there which was ANZAC Day. It is very cool and done by a very cool Kamatua on the island. Heaps of meaning and he was very stoked about it.

Our bach was very cool and we had our resident dog. There was a great swimming lagoon only meters from us and we enjoyed many pinocoladsas and bourbons on the beach. I finished a great book and hogged into a fantastic seafood platter at Trader Jacks. We went to about 4 resorts and swam in their pool and ate their food, but spent most of the time at either Muri Lagoon, The Rarotongan or our own bach. A big regret is not did not do the Jet Blast, where you stand at the end of the runway and get blasted. Maybe next time. Sunsets were amazing!
