We’re having a little party tomorrow - our first one for ages. Not sure if anyone is coming or not but at least there’s plenty of Lindauer and Singstar, so you can’t go wrong. If you want to come, let me know!

I’m going out today to buy a dress to wear to my brother’s wedding. And I am going ALL ALONE (no babysitters to be had). I hate clothes shopping, I always seem to buy the wrong thing and end up never wearing it. Thus I am heavily reliant on the advice of others!
I’m feeling quite […]

Christmas has been pretty good but marred a little by the ever-present evil tummy bug, which went through my sister, brother and Archie. Christmas is a bit compromised when half of those present can’t eat or drink. Still, we adapted. The weather has been lovely and the fat little white sheep have been gambolling in […]

Off to Greytown this morning for Christmas with the whanau. Hope wherever you are that you have a lovely day, tasty food, people liking the pressies you got, and maybe receiving a couple of good ones!

Due to ghastly illness, I missed a couple of very important birthday shout-outs. In fact they are on the same day, the very memorable 19th of December.

Firstly to AUDREY - hope you had a killer day and you are the co-best godmother ever and sorry all your presents are always late and we love you […]

Sorry for the absence, I have just suffered through the worst tummy bug of my entire life. I blame kindy - Playdoh is a dreadful incubator of disease. Jan and Harry had it too, though the carrier, “Typhoid Archie”, didn’t seem to suffer.
The tum tum is just coming right now. A very bad time […]

Scary morning as I realised that I couldn’t find my bag, with my wallet, phone and $1500 CAMERA inside. Eventually it was tracked down, at the Victoria University Lost & Found Office!! Completely intact thank god. I had left it in my tutorial room last night and some WONDERFUL cleaners had found it.
This prompted the […]

Your Blog Should Be Purple

You’re an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you’re the most likely to write your own meme or survey.

I was amused to see the TradeMe logo they were using yesterday…

We didn’t go to the premiere, but the whole town was buzzing a bit. Saw a sign on the motorway - “King Kong - CBD - delays expected”. It gave me visions of a giant ape rampaging down Courtney Place.

I’ve just enrolled for the following two courses in the first semester next year:
BIOL 111 – Cell Biology
CHEM 103 – Concepts of Chemistry
I can feel myself sinking deeper into the truly pure nerdism that is science! Hurray!
