For all my hearts desire to live closer to the city instead halfway to hicksville, I must say that on a foggy morning, where i live truely takes my breath away.
Opening the curtains this morning I drew breath at the soft blanket of fog that enveloped the street. It just makes the world around a little more peaceful, like walking through the earths light morning doze.
My niece calls fog sleeping clouds. Bless.

ho hum
So sorry to those buggers who actually read my bletherings that I have been completely slack in updating my blog, but unfortunately I live (at the moment) a very dreary existence.
We have the occasional friend over for tea and less occasionally go out for a bite.. but as for adventure? nah... my life revolves around saving nonexistent money for a trip later in the year and keeping my garden leaf free (quite futile when you have a bloody great Oak tree in the front yard).
I think I need a jog. That I am starting to do regularly. Yes yes, Brigit doesnt run, but my crappy knees are actually holding up (well except for a little scary knee twinge last week, but its come right), yay!
I used to hate going out with dad who was a member of the Auckland Harriers and often ran for hours on end for a laugh... and I was on my bike! Poor old dad ended up having to push me 3/4 of the way coz my short little legs couldnt manage the distance (and it was fun being pushed).
Now tho, I am starting to realize the enjoyment he got out of the self motivation in it all. Its just you and the pavement, with only your will pushing you on. Very challenging for a piker like me. Another thing on the list Im trying to tick off... motivating my self confidence.
Unfortunately its getting quite dark at the time I get home... and cold, so this could make progress a little slower than planned, but I will keep you posted.

BrrrummBrrummm
So I am now the owner of a 1998 VW Golf GLI.
Havent named her yet.
Bought at auction which was FAR to EASY.
We had a short list of which the Golf was first up in Auction, there was one other bidder which we had picked out as we waited for the proceedings to start. A-Typical Golf chick probably from Remuera and probably buying it for her daughter who probably looked like an A-typical Golf chick also.
But I kicked her arse with my Cool Hand Luke bidding.
I was cool, calm and collected with a stone cold poker face.
Then the bidding started.
My face stayed the same but I felt the colour run out of it while my heart made a break for it up into my throat. I had to keep my arms crossed with only my fingers waving the bidding number from under my armpit for fear the shaking would get out of control and I might bid involuntarily... Im so ace.
Still, I had the last bid and as the dealer handed me the pen to sign the papers I found it incredibley difficult to take the pen from his hands and sign my name as the shaking was still persistant. The man smiled a knowing smile that gave me the feeling I wasnt alone in the world when it came to uncontrollable Endorphins...
A few deep breaths later and it was done and dusted.
I picked her up the next day and weve been inseperable ever since.
One more thing ticked off the Things to do Before Im Too Old to do it list.

One more step away from my reckless? youth
So Yesterday I went for my full driving licence test... and passed. Yay!
Yes yes I know the percentage of normal people get there licences at the normal age of 15 or 16, but I had other things on my mind at that time... and I was quite happy riding my bike around Tauranga and catching public transport in Auckland...
I would like to thank everyone who obliged in being taxis for me, I did appreciate the lifts and will happily recprocate anytime now that I can drive without a curfew...
but I still wont touch the drink and then drive so get your requests in before bubbles o'clock.

Back yard blues
Pic;
Before
BeforeHey hey,
A few weeks ago we had a big clear out of the back yard. Weeds were pulled, grass was mowed and holes were dug ready for our summer deck plan to go full steam ahead... until that is Mike threw his back out trying to move a slab of old concrete path. Pic; After
He was in pain, physically of course, but the emotional pain of realising that hes not as young as he used to be really knocked him for six.
That same weekend our friend Lance threw his back out gardening... a couple of weeks before that our friend Richie broke his collar bone playing cricket, also our friend Rachel broke her coller bone in the same week.
commonality?
All doing what they have always done in the past, all teatering on the cusp of their mid thirties.
Weve all told our parents to hurry it up and bitched behind old peoples backs about how slow they are, but they are just scared of making a false move and braking a hip, all because of the shared revelation Mike had.
what I say is dont let that flight of stairs or that walk to the letterbox send you packing to the lazyboy. Feel the fear and do it anyway. So what if it means spending four hours in emergency room waiting for an x-ray cause you fell in a pot hole at twilight...sober. At least it makes for new conversation instead of the repetition. No fix yet on those pensioner moments.

Taipa Bay
Well we managed to get away from work on Friday around 3pm thanks to Stu taking over for the arvo and Saturday hours. Thanks Stu your a legend.
After battling our way through the school traffic (1km == 1/2 hour) and the 4pm finishers (everyones in a rush to get home that they all become homicidal maniacs), we made good time and arrived at the resort around 830pm.
Taipa Bay is 5mins away from Cable Bay as well as Maunganui.
The resort was Beachfront and luckily we had scored a suite beachside (other being poolside), so wake up up pull the curtains open the bifolding doors and step out onto the beach. A
mazing. Breath taking.
Went for a couple of swims, the water was a bit chilly getting in but great once your under.
The wedding was beautiful. Dnaa was tearful which almost got me started, and definatley got the groom going (so sweet). A lot of French champagne later and me and cuzzie bro were shaking our booties to pretty much anything on the dance floor. Great night. Still wish I could speak french tho. a wonderful bunch of people to celebrate the day with.
It was really awsome to have a weekend away too. Just relaxing and strolling around with only crickets to disturb.
The service was good also. Very friendly.

Another Scorcher
Toddled off to the Devonport Food and Wine Festival Saturday just been. Maaaaaaaaate.
The best day Summer has ever managed to pull out of its arse this year!
No photos unfortunately for you...and fortunately for me there are no photos.
Great day. Great people! Managed to catch up with Dnaa before her big day this Saturday (cant wait) and met her bridesman and future dad in law and sister in law. both had little english and me even less french, but much hand waving and eyebrow lifting got over the hurdles.
Alcomahol definately helps too.
The Bands!
Spacifix played, very lively but didnt wow too much, although im glad I ve seen them now as there has been much hype... but One Millon Dollars! oh my dog! they are brilliant! their singer kicked arse (jazz roots) and the brass section were tight as. Along the same vein as The Hot Grits, but I gotta say, I prefer One Millon Dollars.
The Wine!
Well, I stuck to bubbles (safe) and pretty much one stand Nautilus (spelling bad) which was yummy and light and easy to drink if left in the sun too long.
The Food!
One thing to say... You dont need bread with a whitebait fritter. Just lemon. And more Whitebait.
Anyhoo, lots of talking and dancing and hugging was done. A trip to Henderson Valley followed (over one hour), then it was back to ours for pizza and more drink. Very haizey towards the end...

DOH!
Photo; hungover at work after big weekend.So I had written quite a waffley peice on Auckland anniversary and getting plastered dressing up and going to the local only to have cricket on the big screen old people staring and no 70s and 80s classics to boogie to... when the computer froze and I lost the lot! Bugger i said... well, one of the words I said.
Cant recall most of it cause I was still hungover when I wrote it... so in jaded fog...
I went way over my 3 drink limit, wore a strapless leopard print top I swore (when sober) would never make it passed the front door (and a cowgirl hat I had won earlier at pub quiz) and arsed around infront of the local oldies and what is worse the local video shop guys who now look at me and giggle. (pub so bad my cuzzie Jo and I hired a the skeleton key and went home to watch thinking it was scary...sooo not worth the money that movie sucked. The M&Ms were ace tho).
Luckily day after was holiday so spent most of it cuddling the couch, but did manage to go to Maturangi beach for a little while, had great time people watching. the wait for Mikes burger was around half an hour, so spent the time watching all the stoned scruffbags stuffing fistfulls of hot chips down their gobs (ahh, memories). didnt actually make it to the sand as there is a total dog ban on the beach between the hours of 9am and 7pm. Poor doggies, but we did take them to the park afterwards for a go at the agility course. Turns out Poppy is a natural, she loved jumping through the tyres and weaving and more jumping. she even started telling me all about it while doing it. Quite hularious. Frank on the other hand was more interested in running in giant circles then coming in to get in her way, then taking off again after being told off by pops. Frank is like a goldfish really, runs in circles, and only really remembers when its dinner time.
Anyhoo,
Full moon at the moment so not getting enough sleep (not warewolf thankyou) so blethering... and I cant be bothered reading what I have just written so I hope it all makes sense.

This day was a scorcher!
Photo taken at Christmas time 06' from St Heliers Beach.
View of the Awsome Rangitoto.
Mugginess causes bad spelling
Oi-vie! the Mug is smothering us in Auckland! I sit here in the oriffice melting all over the desk... well almost.
Anywhoooo, a comet is making its way across the sky at the moment and last night I forced Mike to go up the road and see what we could see from the local park on the hill overlooking the magnificant Manukau Harbour.
Blocking out the bitching and moaning something about pub quiz and other drivel that often comes out of the mans mouth when in that mood, I stood stunned at the beauty of our fair Harbour and the multicoloured sunset that lay apon it. Quite humbling.
We werent the only ones there, however, I was the only one doing the Mostquito shuffle as I was being eaten alive (I love that saying). The lumps were all worth it to see the comet with its extraordinary lenghty flickering tail.
I feel quite priviledged to have been able to see two comets in my lifetime at such a young age (compared with my granddad who saw his second at the ripe old age of 80something)and am still as awestruck by the univerve as I was when I was young.

Happy New Year!
Aaah, to get away from the rat race for a few days and purge the traffic jams from my lungs is always something I look forward to.
Unfortunately this year the rat race came along for the ride.
Not that I didnt have a lovely relaxing time, but man has Waihi Beach become popular!
No more relaxing stroll along the beach before 9am! its all "sorry... exucse me... parden me... make way... dogs on leash here... look out... get out of my way"!
Even New Years morning at what I thought was a thoroughly disrespectful time to be up (0740hrs) and jogging along the beach was busy with other people, jogging, with dogs and prams and small children running with sticks and other objects. I tell ya, I gave up saying "morning"to all the passers by as I started to go hoarse!
Anyhoo, jogging on New Years morning before dogs fart your saying?
Yes, my new years was spent watching the rest of the gang from the lounge feeling very sorry for myself as I was VERY hungover from New Years Eve Eve.
Pitiful? yes.
Girls Blouse? yes.
Harden up? Fuck off.
I overdid the Bubbles and since it was my first binge since June, it didnt sit well with my new healthy insides and thus traffic fumes were not the only thing I purged that night... New Years eve (all day and all of the night) was a write off.
I did manage to stay up till midnight, but bed beckoned me at 0010hrs and it was goodnight nurse. Best sleep of the holidays tho. mmmm banana beds, like being hugged by a big cuddley bed monster.
We did decide to go home on New Years day... had a great urge to get stuck into the garden. so I attemped my first long distance open road driving challange..and came out on top! yay! New years resolution? get off my arse and go for full licence. I think Im ready ; )
Oh, The Black Seeds were great! the crowd was huge and followed every move the band made, really awsome... and I would have photos, but the camera gave up the ghost 5mins into it. Doh!
The only gripe I have about the whole night was that some prick beside us was rotting from the inside out and kept leaking his deathly odour... we had to move, or pass out... I swear that guy should see a doctor.
The weather today is awsome and so I shall leave now to make my way through the jungle (back yard) to find the cabbage trees I planted last year and save them from being strangled by the gaint kaikuwia grasses that have already enveloped our deck chairs...

The BOT! duh duh duh duhhhhhh...
Ive had the bot going on 4 weeks now. Thats the longest ever I have had flu.
Started out as a Broncial thing (on holiday), now I have sinus on top of that.
Folded after two weeks and did the antibiotics, but to no avail.
I fucking hate being sick.
On the bright side... glad Im not really old, coz I dont think I would have made it this far.
Yay for youth!
and vicks!

Eating greens
Ive overhauled my diet in recent months and have been eating five plus a day, which rocks. I love my greens anyway, but never really thought I could have them with every meal... I was wrong, I love the way I eat now, but, Ive learned recently that it is quite hard to keep up the veg intake when eating out... or should I say eating out of town?
Mike and I recently travelled down country to The Hawkes Bay, Gastronomic centre of the North Island or maybe both Islands?
Anyhoo, three days later and I feel malnutritioned. Mike actually read in the Dominion Post that the lowest intake of fresh veg in the country are the friendly people of The Hawkes Bay. Why? The ship it out. Aparently Brisbane is the same. A plethora of seafood and they export it all out and leave the crap behind, if there is any.
All I could find in abundance was tomato and button mushrooms for breakfast, soggy lettuce for lunch (if that) and rubbery asparagus for dinner (if that again). So sad! Also 9 times out of ten the veg was covered in cheese sauce or melted cheese or butter, or both.
The saving grace was Te Awa vinyard. Ohmigot it was awsome! The food was perfect and the wine! So full so light ! I have never had a wine suit my food so perfectly before, It almost convinced me to become a wine wanker... almost.
I highly recommend this place to everyone . FYI the Lamb had more flavour than Ive tasted in years and the Eggplant and Red Pepper stack drizzled lightly in a local Olive Oil was just what I was looking for.
Shit I blether on.
If you are going to stay in Napier, go around the Vinyards for meals. Most do Lunch and Dinner so sleep late, flag breaky and get pissed early... I dont think the bars in town can serve a bad wine, but we only sampled a couple ( I had the bot). The coffee is also good, even when it looks bad according to Mike. Check out MIA store for hot Kiwi designer stuff, they also have a Gallery with The friendliest woman there. I bought my first Limited edition print because I liked her. And the print was cheap.
So, I liked getting away to Napier but the food in town was a real let down.

whizz bang pop...fizzle
Guy Fawkes or Guy Fox as some ignoramous call it.
What a let down. Fireworks are such a waste of money today.
Dont get me wrong, I love setting thing alight and making extra long fuses on bundled together works is heaps of jollys, but, 3 second fizzes just dont cut the mustard these days.
We cant even have bonfires with fake guys on a stake! What the hell else is Guy Fawkes all about!!
Which brings me to my next erk. More than half the population have NO idea why we let fireworks off every November (ohmoigot its November!). There is no education going on in Schools about this I am sure. The Mad Butchers daughter (adult daughter) on the radio was going on about specials for "Gouy Fox''... Guy Fawkes you thick shit.
Anyhoo, on a November tangent...
Movember is apon us. A time for men to stop shaving and raise money for the fight against Prostate Cancer. A jolly good idea. At the end of the month photos will be on the web (movember.com) of the champions and their mostaches. I will post Mikes efforts up (before and after) on the 1st of December. YAY!
Something else...
We are going to Napier! YAY a holiday!!! four days of a little work (tax benifits) and a lot of Vinyards! The diet will have to take a back seat... 19.35kg lost so far just quietly.

ho ho ho
So its the first day of November, which means that the stores have had their Christmas decorations up for a month now.
Whats worse is that the majority still insist on using snowmen, snow covered plastic fur trees, Polarbears??, giant fake snowflakes, cotton wool as snow and Santa dressed up to the nines in fur!
ITS SUMMER AND WE LIVE ON A PASIFIC ISLAND!!!
So as you can tell it shits me a bit.
Why cant we use the Pohutakawa as our tree? and sand as our snow? Santa can keep the beard, but maybe dust off the stubbies or something?
