Where to start..... I don't think I mentioned in my last riveting update... that I have a boy holidaying in Korea... he is 18 and one of the triplets... he did a year of university but decided it was not for him... to celebrate this career enhancing decision he chose to take up a long standing invitation from an exchange student from Korea that he has been friends with for years... it was about this time that I discovered that my boy had saved about seven thousand dollars... for a kid that has never had a permanent job or even full time employment this is a sizable sum.. I'm looking at my own bank balance and realize that he has been grazing and accommodating himself at my expense... hmmm... The boy he is going with has been coming to New Zealand for three years and is a seasoned and confident traveller and obviously his parents are reasonably wealthy as they would not be able to send their child to New Zealand year after year for his education... Wiremu has been enjoying his holiday and grazing and accommodating himself at someone else's expense... good boy.... In The last week I have had to withdraw from two swim meets as we had a death in the Family.. this was the cot death of my nephews month old baby... a very sad affair... the tangi was over two days and involved allot of cooking and cleaning as we catered to the 60 or so family members that arrived to pay their respects... after one days break yesterday we moved daughter number 2 into her flat in Auckland in preparation for the start of her second university year... this involved a three hour journey there and back towing a large trailer filled with... ahhh ... well filled with all the stuff that a girl needs... to give you a handle on just what a girl needs there was one entire suitcase devoted to underwear and pyjamas'... (insert male incredulous look here).. so we lugged the furniture hung the curtains paid the bond and rent shopped her some supplies and returned home... It's a very nice
flat she has having been painted,carpeted and with a new kitchen and bathroom... we had brought her up the previous week to search for a place and was shocked but nor really surprised at the appalling conditions and the prices expected for those conditions... we learned that "character Cottage" really meant converted chicken coup with shit removed but not much else... It was a good day though because we got the girl a flat a part time job and a car all in that one day... The car is a Toyota Curren,silver,sports kitted two door coupe,just what a young girl with a suitcase of pyjama's and underwear needs to get her around town... next monday I fly down to Christ church to referee a national swim meet and am looking forward to the break away...
A big hello to you all... Fluffy I am still out here and looking forward to seeing you online... if on the rare occasions I am you are too... Maureen it was good camming with you... even though Randy called me a perve and told me to put my shirt back on... ask him if he wanted me to put my pants back on as well... snicker snicker... Diego my faithful friend Hola... Jerk I tried to get into the Bootery will try again today... though during the typing of the email I have been moofed four times... it all looks reformatted and the only thread I recognised was the time one... Ivana you'll have to pass that on to Jerk...
