Going native

Eric came home and lunchtime and said ' I nearly did it. I nearly said Kia Ora'!!! For you Poms that is Maori for Hello, not a request for a drink of squash! He did manage to stop himself just in time though. Eric despairs at the rest of us not retaining our English accents. If you listen to Alice you'd never know she ever lived in England!

I've had a blissful day doing paperwork. I know that sounds odd but I am so behind at the moment. My colleague Jude was in the area and popped in for a coffee, ooppps I mean a meeting, yes a meeting! The weather remains gorgeous but I have not been out in it today apart for a trip to the GP's to talk about my headaches. They've only been going on for about 12 years now so I finally gave in to Eric's nagging. He has started me on verapamil (Andy the doctor, not Eric). Oh well at least I shouldn't go into Atrial fib now!

Tried to get tickets for the Lions tour online to no avail so have sent an email to the ticketing company. I doubt we'll get them but it's worth a try. Anyone know anyone coming over for it?

Have enjoyed rubbing it in with the locals that Kent thrashed the Black caps. looking forward to the real thing later this week.

Not sleeping well at the moment so am shattered and am off to bed to listen to 'Not the news quiz' kindly sent to NZ by radio 4.
