END OF A YEAR!!!!!

And what a HIGH note to end it on!!! BOOTIFUL SKIES and A DECENT FROST(air temperature)that is!!!

PAY OFF a stunning day!!!!

I got up at 7am to be at work DOING 2 hours watering !!!!!! I SOOOOOOOOOOO want to win BIG WED or LOTTO and NOT HAVE TO WORK!!!! IN saying that there is a certain hypnotic quality in watering quite peaceful, AND the neighbours are kindly turning off LARGE back sprinkler so I dont have to contend with traffic and go BACK! THEY live on other side of town NOT HANDY when its bumper to bumper!!!!

GOT home 9.20 AND I HIT THE PAVEMENT did a very quick 5km and home again before 10.30am so that was GOOD AND IT WAS SOOOOOOOOO fresh here this morning that walking at 9.20am WAS NO PROBLEM and even getting home at 10.30am NOOOOOO PROBLEM!!!! Thought my legs would be stiff from yesterdays effort BUT NOPE so YAY!!! It was lovely to be out n about and Samuel was riding his bike alongside and it was nice SO NO EXCUSE not too walk,kids can BIKE!!!! or walk alongside or run as HE DOES then RUNS back and says come on come on!!! CHEEKY BLIGHTER!

JUST purchased a BREVILLE JUICER off TM and its in ROTORUA for pick up SO MAYBE JAXX if your reading this PWETTY PLEASE could you pick up OR I WILL GET JAMES TO!!!

YAY I have been sooooooooooo TRYING hard to get one for months and now I scored a good priced one too they are $200 and you can get them new for around $160-$150(in sales) BUT they aren't worth that so $60 is a GREAT SCORE!!!

EVERYONE whatever you are doing today tonight be safe and just relax!!

SEE YALL tomorrow and YES I WILL be up EARLY walking and watering (I have a cunning plan) I will go to work and put on little sprinklers first where the large sprinkler doesn't reach and walk for 45 mins - 60 mins around their block and pathways then come back and HANDWATER then put on backyard sprinkler and IM A DONE BURGER!!!! (EXCITING MUCH!)

I have spaghetti and meatballs in crockpot already AND have garlic bread to go with it! I am a clever girl at times I am now sunbathing AND THEN ITS A CARD GAME feast we are playing CRIB, POKER, CANASTA, and THEN LAST CARD!!!

Dinner .....

We went out last night to some Fijian Indians for dinner the food WAS how would you say INTERESTING, not my cup of tea but very nice all the same and A LOVELY couple with a 2 1/2 year old (very energetic), THEY have no family here in NZ so are a bit lonely the man works with my Jason. (and his wife is sooooooo beautiful Dark beautiful) It was so nice not to have to cook and they spoiled us I took 2 bottles sparkling grape juice and some ROSES chocolate.

Today I am off walking soon (just waiting waiting waiting at the moment), THEN hopefully I will get time to spare and have coffee with Janine and Jaxx THEN I have an afternoon of work. (then I am working approx 1 - 2 hours daily until the family get back) doing maintainence things watering mostly nothing strenuous. WE HAVE HAD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Rain here for weeks IT IS getting very DRY and yuccccky when it does rain we will have flooding FOR SURE. I ams ooooo looking forward to 3rd Jan - 5th when we go away for a couple of days...

When we head over to the beach OHOPE I AM THINKING leaving early morning 3rd spending day with the family I work for then heading to Te Puke that afternoon (late afternoon) and staying with a friend on Sunday 3rd WE ARE GOING Kwang Chow a chinese smorgasbord restaurant IT IS DIVINE , GOING to Avatar the movie at Te Puke IT HAS 3D!!!! (Taupo cinema does not have 3D. Then on Monday I am going shopping at BAYFAIR (yay NEW PANTS I HOPE!!)

Heading home Tuesday morning early before HEAT STARTS, CHEN starts back at language school Jan 6th so will be home 5th.

Was going to stay at OHOPE for a few days but it is close to $500 to stay in a unit AND I WOULD rather see everyone and use money for petrol and food instead of accommodation petrol and food!! I cant afford $1000 because IM sure it would get right up there (what with food petrol and shopping as well).

Is overcastish again THAT means when it BURNS off it is going to be stinking hot again POOPY!

Have a safe sunburn free day!

BBQ fork prodder temp thing, Willie Apiata book, HAND CREAM (collagen Elastin one I helped my language student choose that!) and a gift goodie BASKET will add photos later!

I got up at 6am this morning and waited until 6.30am before I COULD WALK!!! TOTALLY PISSED OFF I walked 5km IN 1 HOUR and 30 MINS!!!!!!!!!! TOTALLY NOT ON I can do at LEAST 8 - 9 m in that time FARKKK! and heres why.

A: my legs were sore and tight from last 2 days (GOOD), B: they were heavy and bloaty FROM YESTERDAYS EATING (NOT GOOD), C: I did one lap 1.8km and stopped for the third trip to the toilet!!! THEN I WAS determined to keep going and I DID I GOT 95% of the way around the 2nd LAP and HAD TO RING my friend at 7.15am as she was heading out to WORK, I MADE IT with nano seconds to spare!!! Now I am settling down on the PIT STOP problem, BUT this morning after being twice (TMI I KNOW) and having to call in home on the way around the first LAP I GO AGAIN, so I DO and I MARCHED straight back out and did A SHORT LAP got home 8am, 1 and a half hours 3 toilet stops BUT GLAD I perservered!!!! I KNOW output matches INPUT of food BUT GOD REALLY give me a break!!!!!!

The Principal is a wonderful man and he spoke of a colleague lost to the school back in April a teacher that had taught at the school for 19 years!!!!! HE BROKE DOWN and it was soooooo sad to have to sit and watch, all the teachers were crying and his class IT WAS very emotional.

Samuel and I are helping from 9 - 3 THEN we are off to a BBQ for the language school student and teachers are putting on a BBQ for the homestay families and hosts!!!! (nice no cooking dinner), BUT I WILL walk again tonight if I have to that will be dependant on how MUCH WALKING and liftng I do today BECAUSE all the gear I have to shift today is all in boxes that have to be walked out of one class and across half the school to the other class SO NICE WORK walking and lifting GOOD I NEED IT!!!!!, BUT after walking a thousand miles yesterday with messages, kids ,classes desks I didnt walk last night as I got home from work at 8.30pm and WAS KNACKERED!!

Me baby arrived 9.35pm Friday night and in the drizzle THE WEATHER all week was brilliant the SWAM, fished, dived, snorkelled,abseiled, tramped AND HAD A BALL!!!!! From the swimming in the lagoon with PLANKTON at night that GLOWED flourescent!!! when they moved or splashed the water around them GLOWED to the fresh oysters eaten straight from the water to the FRESH tarakihi and snapper they had for brekkie(lucky barstads!) to the marine life and he WENT into Mansion House for the tour and LOVED the history and the house nad the furniture etc!!!!

We unpacked bags put first of 2 loads of washing on and yakked HE started with Monday and yakked through to FRIDAY!!!!! blow by blow it was so nice to have him home!!!

I went to work early on Friday after a big walk so I could A: SUNBATHE and then I went to the MOVIES YES I went to the movies to see Julie and Julia IT WAS AMAZING I totally got lost in the movie and thoroughly enjoyed it!!! came home DID monster housework SO SAMUEL didn't have to do anything, then I waited for him to arrive.I stayed up late and hung out his togs and rash tops and light CLOTHES so they would dry overnight etc and I got 2 clotheshorses of stuff dry that way AND hung out the towels later in the day on saturday when it fined up and the sheets (washed those) and bedding he took on camp aired out those and the pillows etc and BLANKET.

Saturday I went for a longish walk 6km thats long for me at the moment then I hung out the rest of the washing and WRAPPED the teachers pressies and did some reading SAMUEL stayed in PJ's all day rather tired!!!! Lost his voice too!!!! Then I ironed all the stuff I had washed then realised I had missed the timeline for My sisters keeper movie and was rightly pissed off.Did a nice savoury macaroni cheese for dinner with garlic bread.

Sunday hugely fine went for another walk YAY SO did all the sheets (except samuels of course), then I SUNBATHED for 40 MINS SIDE and read a book had a snooze hung out more washing AND THEN I rushed off to the movies AND I THOROUGHLY enjoyed My Sisters Keeper it was intense and sad and then got organised and HAD a BBQ dinner!!! Next door neighbours son's birthday so we all ate together!!! END OF day and weekend VERY NICE!!!!
