No news.

Doesn't that inspire you to read on?!?!?!? lack of blog this week is totally due to lack of news - sorry! I will take some piccies otday to compensate for lack of words.

My bedside table is disgustingly organised Helen so warrants no inclusion - sorry. It is dominated by a huge, portable (!) music centre as clock alarms don't have tape players and we go to sleep listening to audio tapes.

Carol, I should never have voiced my dependance on my sunglasses. i forgot them the next 2 days and spent the day driving round squinting!

Who did win the worst Xmas tree competition?

It's been hot, up to 30 degrees. I am having a quieter week at work and have spent most lunchtimes tanning by the pool. Quite a lot of cloud this week and one downpour on Wed night. Hay still not cut and Eric is worrying as it is rapidly getting to a useless stage. We are awaiting the contractors and guess we just have to wait our turn. Ideally it should have been cut when we were away but as the bales need stacking and bringing into the barn we could not book it for then. As sure as eggs is eggs it'll pour down when they cut it.

Bridget came for supper on Wed night. She's a bit down/frustrated at the moment. Some people need to come to their senses and talk.

Harriette has school swimming day today, I will try and time my viewing to co-incide with her races as I can't spend all day there.

On Tuesday I did our last evening MeNZB teaching session. It was at the eduation centre at Waikato Hospital. Jude and I do these between us with her doing all the technical stuff about the disease, the vaccine and trials and me doing the rest. I have only done the technical stuff once before and that was last Nov. Anyway when I got there Jude looked terrible, she is 28 weeks preganant now and said her midwife had put ther off for the rest of the week. I asked her why she was there and sent her home. She registered the 50 odd GP's and nurses and went leaving me to teach a difficult, session totally unprepared! It actually went very well apart from the odd pause to scan my old notes and I was complimented on the presentation. Well that's it!

Another quiet weekend planned. Hopefully I can get the next bit of the veg plot planted up. I may even treat you to a piccie - bet you can't wait! I also want to sort out the bank behind the pool. Carol remember we ran out of weed mat under the gravel and we said it would be OK? Well it isn't! I want to scrape back the gravel and put the rest down and weed the bank itself.

Off to cut fruit for breakfast. H and A have just left for school and Eric is feeding pigs. If we don't sell them soon we will go bankrupt feeding them!
