Suprise!

Hehehe. Today is my last day at work before I have a week off, and as the boss left for his overseas holiday early this morning I don't feel much like working! Not that I have a heck of a lot to do anyway. So here I am FINALLY updating this thing, although I'm not sure anyone checks it anymore, so if that's the case then I am just rambling to myself.....

I don't really have anything planned for my week off; might do a major house clean, clean my car, and thats about it at this stage - nice and relaxing.

Saturday we have been invited to 69 to watch the rugby and all the stuff that goes with it. However, as I don't have one ounce of interest in rugby (I don't know who's playing) I'm not sure what I'll do for the however many hours a rugby game drags on for :p. Yes, Toni, I'll remember to take some photos.

We have disconnected (well tried to anyway) our home phone, which means no more internet at home. It's going to be a slight inconvenience but seeing as we only had dial-up it was too frustratingly slow when you're used to using broadband at work, so we hardly use it. So now we just have our cellphones, which works out cheaper having two mobiles than a single landline.

My dad has been staying with us for the past couple of months. He's building a goat milking and feeding system at his bosses farm at Gordonton.

This year has been a bad year for my cats. In February our little Squeak went missing and we haven't seen or heard from her since. A couple of months ago my families cat Coco died. We'd had him for about 15 years, so that was pretty sad. It was even worse because we suspect he was killed by a dog or something - poor little guy.

Last week I recieved a speed camera fine, and my initial thought was that it must have been Quentin because I don't speed. Upon further investigation, the alleged time of offence was 1.45pm on a Tuesday which is kind of weird as I was at work. I was caught on SH1 Waiwera South. I didn't know where the heck that was so I looked on a map - it's in Otago. So needless to say I'm pretty confident that it wasn't me, so I've written a smart-ass letter to the police.

Well thats all folks.
