Serene

Wednesday, November 16th, 2005

We went to the movies last night - oh it was a very exciting occasion - just two girls out on the town, footloose and fancyfree. We went to see Serenity (finally) and it was fantastic, we really enjoyed it. It wrapped up a lot of loose ends from the tv series and was very […]

You Belong in the UK

Blimey!
A little proper, a little saucy.
You’re so witty and charming…
No one notices your curry breath

Time Out

Monday, November 14th, 2005

Jan had got to the end of her fulltime mummy tether by last Friday afternoon, so it was time for a weekend off from children. I took the boys up to my mother’s house in Greytown (about an hour’s drive from Wellington) for the weekend. They are both sick with colds and thus rather ratbaggery, […]

United Nations of Scammers

Monday, November 14th, 2005

I just received a rather amusing Nigerian scammer-type email.
I Dr. Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the United Nations, would like to ask for your partnership in reprofilling funds over $250m in excess, the funds would be coming via a string of selected banks in Europe and Asia.
The Funds in question were generated by me during the […]

Unappreciated Female Musical Geniuses

Thursday, November 10th, 2005

Right, back to the usual frivolity, and the exciting news that I got THREE great albums yesterday!
Firstly, of course, the new Kate Bush album, Aerial. I was greatly anticipating this as I’ve mentioned before, and it does not disappoint! Once again Kate has proven her utter originality and timeless musical brilliance. Favourite tracks so far […]

Genocide

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

I was reading an interesting post on Mauzy’s Musings about termination of pregnancies with a diagnosis of Down Syndrome and thought I’d put down my thoughts - it’s an issue I feel very strongly about.
I do support the rights of women to terminate their pregnancies - I’m a pro-choicer from way back. But the estimate […]

Monday Blues

Monday, November 7th, 2005

Even when you work from home, Monday can get to you… all those images to upload to Flickr and blog posts to write… it’s just too much pressure!
Didn’t go to the Bats (babysitter cancelled), didn’t let off any fireworks (Archie sick), but did manage a nice brunch at Paekakariki yesterday with some new friends. Always […]

Selling Out

Friday, November 4th, 2005

I’ve just installed Google ads on Jemsweb. They aren’t going to show up for a few hours yet. But it’ll be interesting to see just what kind of revenue can be accrued. 10 cents a month? Once they do appear, feel free to click on them wildly in order to generate cash for moi!

Fairy Bread

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Harry really enjoyed his birthday party yesterday afternoon. He just loves all the accoutrements of birthdays like hats, party blowers and fairy bread, and kept breaking out into “Happy! Happy!” every few moments. He was such a happy well-behaved boy all day! What a sweetie! And after the initial shock (having not realised little brothers […]
