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…

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, […]

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 […]

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!
