Sorry I am so busy RUNNING around after kittens I am out the door generally before 7.30am for a couple of hours then back in afternoon and then once dinner is done and dusted back out to the kittens again!! (blardy things) thay are cute though! In between all that I have been gardening and washing usual stuff BUT NO blardy sunbathing darn it all. CANT do it at the place where I work as tradesmen are there (they are working around my comings and goings GIBSTOPPERS).
I have managed 3 walks only in the last week but hey thats better than none.
Jackie Auckland maybe I was walking so darn fast all ya saw was a BLUR!
No seriously I do most of my walking around a 2.3km lap block by my home.So if I am doing a 10km it is 4 laps then the 1km lap at end taking me just over 10km and I work it out like that, IF I do really long walks I walk ONE WAY and organise someone to get me at the end like 14km,16km,18km etc.
Have been known to be dropped off at Wairakei SH1 9km North out of Taupo and then walk to 3 MILE bay 6km out of Taupo heading South SH1.
Just a short note washing is finished and IM out the door to kittens.

Im a JINX..........
I must have jinxed the weather it pissed down all Tuesday afternoon and through last night WE DEFINATELY need the rain thats for sure BUT have awoken to sunny skies BUT very cold.
Went for a walk early was very CRISP!!!!!! makes you walk a bit faster I'm sure.
Over Easter I forgot to say I got given a few eggs AND I REGIFTED them to others (so A: I wouldnt eat them and B: I only like the marshmallow ones (pinky, pineapple lump and that range of flavoured ones from cadbury and pascall) I thought a good idea of mine thats for sure (means we or I DONT OVEREAT on the EGGS!!!)
AM heading into town to BRAVE the hordes yesterday traffic atrocious! town madhouse getting to BANK near impossible FINDING a park even NOT HAPPENING oh well will bite the bullet and go PLEASE PARKING FAIRIES be nice!!!
***UPDATE*** was only in town for 90 mins have so far this morning WALKED done 2 loads washing, grocery shopping (forgot friggin dishwashing liquid I HATE THAT wasn't on list and I had made a mental note too!) paid 3 bills parked in town and walked to where we could YAY. Only place had too wait was POST OFFICE paid for 3 trademe trades (like EBAY) groceries away and dont start work until 1pm so all in all a good morning. UMM too cold to sunbathe BUT got some good sunbathing in over Easter might brave the breeze (which I need it too be breezy to dry the washing!) but makes sunbathing NOT CUTEY.
Have a great day whatever it is you are doing.

Yay 4 days off........
Finally four days off in a row WHOOP WHOOP...... The weather brilliant BUT friggin COLD MORNINGS (like frost n fog), walking brilliant, food brilliant (like still eating lol) no seriously food very good, 10 hours at work yesterday because not working today or Monday (so I get flogged ).
I got up at 6.30am walked 10km then we into the housework have done all the usual including windowsills and edges, 2 loads washing even wiped out the microwave done 2 cutlery draws and one (THE KITCHEN JUNK DRAW), pantry tidied and the plastic cupboard YOU all know the one the one where EVERYTHING imaginable gets jammed in thru the week the lunchboxes drink bottles and then on Saturdays we normally tidy it, but its a day early, school shoes out airing in sun sneakers out airing in sun,school bags out in sun, IM gonna be out in SUN very shortly!!!!!!!!!!! sunbathing.
Lawns mowed WED and groceries sorted SHIT we were on to it this year no mucking around WE were in and out like troopers!!!!!! DIDNT even forget anything so that is even better I made delicious fish pie last night smoked fish fillets and smoked fish tinned and the marinara mix that you buy from supermarket FRESH mixed in with white parsley sauce homemade and topped with mashed potatoes and served with peas AND GARLIC BREAD!!!!!!!!! being last night was COLD IT was hearty and warming!!!!!
We are having Roast chicken and veges tonight AND I have peeled all the veges and made the platter and got everything ready SO I am now in relax holiday day mode!!!!!!! easter eggs all sorted and wrapped up in cellophane etc. Tomorrow night I have sweet and sour sausage meatballs and rice with bok choy (my friend and I have planned all the easter meals as for the first time in 5 years she has 3 days off at Easter!!!).
Son had an awesome week got First exam results back Excellence in Social Studies, TOP MATHS SCORE YR 9, Excellence in Science. HE HAS excelled and I was so thrilled for him he is applying his time accordingly and I said to him it pays in the end and you are retaining the information obviously. He spends approx 45 mins to 90 mins on homework each night and on weekends me and him do revision questions and pop quizzes. ( shit as the questions get harder I sure as hell wont be passing them!)
His sports is really coming along now too Karate is now into FULL contact sparring so I needed to get PADDED punch glove mitts not full boxing gloves and he is LIKE WHOOP WHOOP finally contact!!!!!!, Rugby he has to train for a 3KM time trial so he has run home 3x this week in 2.3km 14mins UP A HUGE HILL, second day to my work 2.7km 12 mins (no hill), and this morning 3.3km totally flat 15mins (one stop for his asthma)he probably set out too early as air temperature was very COLD, so he is aiming to run everyday thru holidays as their time trial is first week back IF the time set by coach isn't achieved they are cut! Also school has their cross country end of April and he wants to do well their HE did really well in school athletics and made it into all of his running events to finals AND FOR HIM thats a huge achievement.
It is lovely to be home and I am glad all me jobs sorted I am now going to sunbathe and relax.
HAVE an EGGciting EASTER!!!!!

Just a plodder...
Only walked 8km this morning was nice though I HAVE NO JOBS TODAY no LISTS and nadda happening WHAT A FIRST for me eh!
Sunny again and I am going to sunbathe again, lounge around and generally do sweet fanny annie.
Have roast chicken for diner sorted (veges all peeled) green veges all cut I do a platter of everything and just blast it in the microwave with parsley margarine and black pepper for 4 - 6 mins and voila green vege medley done.
I could be gardening I could be doing housework BUT I AREN'T going to ... I have no inclination to do that today for some reason (Friday I did the sheets and change bed thing so I am caught up with washing and ironing etc).
With Easter just looming I will do some gardening over Easter and mow lawns maybe tues/wed and DO our grocery shopping WED so we don't have to venture into TOWN!!!! (I hate Taupo at long weekends and EASTER) it is bedlam WHAT I do love is just mooching in town knowing I don't have to do SPECIFIC jobs in town with the THOUSANDS of others, I can even WALK into town and get picked up as everyone will be here for the racing and I will have people around to at the very least pick me up should I need to.
WE are all looking forward to Easter and the break in ROUTINES will be nice AND the fact school holidays are then starting it is even better YAY no getting up early no rushing no RUNNING around to rugby/badminton/swimming (karate however goes all year round and the only days off is xmas and easter!!).
Samuel rugby coach is organising practices for holidays so that should be interesting ..... hope it all fits in with our plans and my work etc, sure it will. Oh and NO MORE LATE night working YAY!!!!!! Thats even blardy better.
Have a nice day.

Walking walking walking....
I walked on Thursday I walked this morning EARLY like 5.30am early I couldn't sleep I walked 12 kms then went back into bed to warm up (well LAY down) and have just surfaced WAS very FRESH this morning BUT the sun is out and it will warm up SO I will lay in the sun probably. Havent heard from up the line, I TEXT'D Jason yesterday evening Howz it going are you settling in ok keeping busy blah blah blah GET BACK "yes" very helpful not! Oh well he is pottering around today fixing someones oven, and says its a hell of a lot warmer over in the BAY lucky bugger.
Have worked walked and whinged all week, have had some restless nights sleeps but managed to have better sleeps last 2 nights (because I put AN EXTRA blanket on the bed AS I think I was cold! I know I was cold!). Or maybe because of the following indiscretion!
Forgot to say when I went to the movies I had a very SMALL one scoop icecream made them find the smallest, AND I SUFFERED for 2 days HEADACHE, INCREDIBLY SORE TUMMY, BLOATED, ABSOLUTELY FOUL WIND (sorry TMI), and no toilet for 2 days then A RESULTING MESS on 3rd day blurrrrrrrrrrrrrk, was a silly mistake and I knew I would pay for it BUT hells bells come on, for 3 afternoons wed, thurs, fri I felt gross and really had no energy and CONTEMPLATED every day going home early and just wanting to LAY down and rest! TODAY I feel mucho better no tummy ache no headache no bloating and suprise surprise no WIND!
WILL walk again tomorrow and then into 10 - 12km walks next week am going to walk every 2nd day and STEP it up a bit and walk 2 SUPER long walks over Easter seen as extra people will be here to act as PICKER uppers If I need to be. And on Easter Monday when everyone is out the RACE TRACK (car) I am going tp walk approx 16km a 11km walk loop from my place then approx 5km walk out to track not sure on that exact distance to track from town BUT its close to that when they drive it I will get someone to measure distance out there and adjust my end accordingly.
And when I arrive at the track there will be hot chocolate and HOT FOOD there for me to carbo load on (oh and my scrummy protein biscuits!!!)...
I am off to have poached eggs and tomatoes on toast.
Have a nice weekend whatever you are doing.....
