We had a bit of rain last night, if the rivulets of water running down the veranda bench are anything to go by……………. must have been helped along by the wind, because that bench is normally a lovely dry place to sit.

Louise patiently oven cleaning again while I search for jobs. That lovely beef casserole the other night had dripped over the oven tray. Shame Lakeland doesn’t operate here in NZ!

All job hunting done. Fixed a strange Facebook issue with Louise’s netbook – the help bar was too big for the screen………….. So, off to Microsoft Technet Virtual Labs to do some “”learning”” – Sweet! Must learn how to set up a virtual server and workstations – Chris, I might even catch up wth your home network……

Louise spotted some alcholic bargains (in full “”lush”” mode with alcoholic radar in receive mode!) in one of the local newspapers, so as we needed milk we decided to check the Mill liquorstore in Paraparam and came back with some Jim Beam and a cheap Irish Liqueur…………….and to be fair, some milk and chocolate! We also tried to pop into Mitre10 – a sort of B&Q we think – but it closed at 5pm. There’s always another day………..

Just watched a tv program called the “”Politically Incorrect Parenting Show””. If you ever get a chance to watch it, do – it takes you back to values of a previous age, wonderful!
