A couple of days in Akaroa.

We have just got back from a couple of full on days in Akaroa. Lots to eat, lots to drink, but not much sleep.





Boo and Digby met up for a bit of a romp.




...which reminded me of two years back when they played in the same spot - look how cute and tiny Digby was!

Guess what I got for Christmas?

Here's some clues:





I got a fancy pants new camera!! The standard of photography around here is about to take a huge leap...

The result of a howling 'Norwester temperatures above 30 degrees outside...

Clean house:


Clean washing:


Clean dog:


Clean baby:

This is becoming a regular thing...

I seem to be having something of a music revival. After being out of touch for so long I am starting to feel like I know what is going on out there.

Continuing on the New Zealand music theme, I bring you this - not so much for the track (which is a bit contagious) but for the awesome video. Enjoy.

Boo cools off..

It may look lovely and clean, but that pond smells like fifty years worth of duck poo, and now so does Boo.

Mince Pie Madness

My mum made the mincemeat, I made the pastry and this morning I put together 80 Christmas mince pies.








And the temperature is 27 degrees and rising...sheesh.

Lazy Legs.
