When your beloved life partner goes out for the evening, and you think, “Hey! This’d be a great time to finally try out World of Warcraft that I got for my birthday TWO MONTHS AGO!” So you sit down at your computer and start installing it. It takes about twenty minutes per disc, and there […]

I’ve been tagged again - hurray for taggage as it keeps one feeling in the loop - thanks hers.
Twenty things about me

I used to be a radio DJ.
I have hyper flexible hips.
I fell in love […]

I’ve been selling a few DVDs on TradeMe recently and been getting good prices for them. But just now I received a notification that one of my listings has been withdrawn because it doesn’t have a NZ Classification sticker on it. So I rang up the Labelling Body to enquire. Turns out I can’t sell […]

Since then they’ve been playing together really well though, so I think they did miss each other. And when Archie was […]

Harry came out to wave goodbye to Archie yesterday as he headed off in Noo Noo’s car with his bike. Ever since then he has been constantly saying… “Archie, car” or “Archie, car, bike!” or even “Archie Noo Noo car bike!”.
