Definitely. Especially as I failed to mention the knee high spider socks, pirate arm bands, red and blue eye-liner, the rhinestone Southern Cross glued on her cheek and the two Gothic crosses around her neck.
Just one of the crowd, really. And she thinks I'm weird for wearing an alb every Sunday!

Happy Republic Day, Wodders! The doglet got to go to the Australia Day breakfast given by my neighbours. She obviously thought the whole thing was put on for her benefit, and had a lovely time telling everyone how badly I treat her, making up to anyone who might give her some toast or a bit of sausage, and marking her new territory. Anyone want a small dog? Blanket and lambie included.

Have had a very quiet day here. Have had Miss M since Sunday but she went home last night after big dinner for #2 son's major birthday.
We've been out and about at museums etc every day and saw 3D Tintin yesterday before dinner. We enjoyed it . I thought much was borrowed from Pirates of Caribbean.
Big nana nap after lunch today and will be early tonight. Have had BBQ and salad for lunch and watched the cricket. Very quiet apart from some very heavy rain several times today. More rain coming over.

Ozowen, you make me sound like Methuselah's Grandma. I was tempted to reply with the answer I always received as a child when I asked that question - "as old as my tongue and a bit younger than my teeth" - which always annoyed the hell out of me. I'm 59 in May. Age is a funny thing - I don't feel that old. One of the large government departments has its call centre staff ask your age next birthday as a security question, and I always get it wrong and say 49. When they question me further I always say that if I was fraudulent then I'd ensure I got it right - which bamboozles them.
Athrawes - the course is NCEA (National Certificate in Educational Achievement - I think) level 2, which is year 12 level. I think there is some kind of National Certificate at the end of it, but I'm doing it out of interest as I felt woefully ignorant about things Maori. I reluctantly decided learning the language would be a bit difficult, given my hearing loss, but learning more of Tikanga Maori (the Maori way of doing things) should be achievable.
I'm really enjoying it and have found I am building on things I already knew and the Maori-English dictionary they sent me is my new best friend (sorry Google).
We have been told heavy rain is expected overnight. I hope it happens as I'm about to plant my next crop of mizuma tomorrow as it is one of the 3 days a week I can water the garden. Some extra moisture from on high would be very welcome.

Huia, I'll gladly send you some rain. Deluges through the day here and rain has been forecast for about the next ten days to add to what seems like the last two months.
Somehow I seem to have lost my good umbrella which was new last year. Miss M and I used two old ones when we went to movies yesterday. I've since thrown them out before I poke someone's eye with spikes. WIll need to buy another one as I've looked everywhere for my good one.

B4 has just returned from an Australia Day party at a friends which ended when the ambulance arrived to take one young man to Emergency. Apparently, rather tanked, he decided to walk off the roof of a two story building. B4 saw him fall. He landed on his feet before falling and smashing his face in. There is the possibility of spinal and brain injury. She and her friends are very traumatized. Boys, booze and bravado are not a good combination.
![[Votive]](graemlins/votive.gif) for Ross. May he recover enough to never do this again.

Nice to enjoy non-dangerous activities yesterday, taking the Curly Family to the Picasso exhibition, and then to a rather funky interactive installation at The Museum of Contemporary Art. Recommended.
One cricket off today, one doubtful. Very damp here, although only damp, not flooding.
BTW, I've published my second book. Not the literary masterpiece of the first (cough) but fun just the same. See all about it on my blog - link below.

Seventies are the new fifties, so I'm with you young folk – until November.
But because of our un-fiftyish aspects (everything works but not as well as it used to) we engaged a student with landscape gardening experience to come and remove 7.5 cubic metres of growth that had got out of hand on the property – 16 hours' work. Wow! We can walk along the back path and up to the street! We can see the fence!* The trees are no longer hanging over the house! There's room for a barbecue where there was several years' accumulation of branches and stuff waiting for a bin (not our barbecue, but there's the street event tomorrow)! And when the student and the neighbour (on whose car pad the bin was parked) had jumped on the contents of the bin there was room for the neighbour's stuff – and then after some more jumping, another neighbour was able to get rid of his cut stuff.
* Only I was then rash enough to start painting the fence, which was foolish because my right shoulder, which has left its fifties well behind and had been seriously damaged picking up smallest grandson, insisted that this was Not a Good Idea.
Belated good wishes to all Aussies for Australia Day. We have Waitangi Day on 6 Feb which this year gives us a long weekend – cheers for the workers.

Congratulations on finding your garden, GG - I love the image of jumping on the bin
Does anyone know if there is a place to forward dodgy e-mails? I've received 2 in the last few days - one obviously phishing, and the other assuming I was a business which had received a serious complaint; to see details, I had to click on a link ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) I'd like to forward them onto someone who could deal with them, if at all possible, as I despise Internet fraud.
In news from the madhouse, I was woken at 0:dark hundred by Claudius Agrippa telling me someone was trying to murder him. It was a really tiny peachface, which has obviously escaped from his home, and come to mine. I swear they get given my address along with their feather ration. Anyway, a good part of an hour later, small bird is now living in my loungeroom, while I work out how to find his owners.

It may be little but it knows a sanctuary when it finds one.
Big milestone for Christchurch - the first new multi-storey building has been started. It's only 4 storeys, but it's a psychological boost.

Went to get it but Kindle needs charging. I have conflicting travel advice from my nannas! One would arrive 20 seconds before train pulled out. Wouldn't do well with boarding planes these days. The other could be 2.5 hours early for the hour long trip to her son in Wollongong.

Just to say thank you to those who sent a prayer up for Ross. He has been discharged from hospital with just an ankle broken badly and contusions to the face. Miraculously he recovered his memory swiftly, did not have a broken nose as first thought, nor any other seriously debilitating permanent injuries. Let's hope he has been delivered of the desire to airwalk when drunk as well.
B4 is greatly relieved the outcome was much better than first thought possible. She acknowledges "Someone was sure looking after him." Praise God.

I sometimes think there must be a patron saint of drunks. Good news Banner Lady.
Demolition of houses written off by the quakes and sold to the government has started. There are around 6 thousand houses affected. I am beginning to understand the term 'survivor guilt' as I catch up with people when I'm out shopping. It's bad enough when people who are fully insured have lost their houses, (because the fine print on the policy often doesn't mean what they thought it meant) but when the land is no longer fit for building on, and any 'safe' land is way more expensive then ... I just don't know what to say. And as for those who were not insured - there but for my insurance company go I (some had just missed a payment due to the disruption of the quakes - I missed one myself, but caught it a day later and bussed across town to pay it manually because I was scared it might happen to me, but was told my company gives a couple of weeks grace.
Athrawes, the aftershocks are lessening in both intensity and size, but we went through a quieter time between September and February, then February and June then June and December, so who knows? One the other hand the fault that started it all is now showing further signs of stress.
Which all goes to remind me I must organise my emergency kit again.

First reaol monsoon day since we've been here today. According to my rain gauage just on 250mm has fallen since 3.00 am. It's kinda stopped now.
I've been on the phone to wankydilla friends, too, who are disappearing under water but are, I'm assured, all safe and well.

Return of the Happy Dance.
Today, I received the first completely independent review of my first book. Don't get me wrong, friends writing good reviews is very valuable, but when someone in the UK who writes a lot of reviews is willing to say this about your work, it's a big boost!
Pumped out 3000 words on a new project today to celebrate. Hoping to wind up first draft of this long short story (12000 words) this week.

Woohoo! Mr C!
Nice to have a resident genius on the thread...
TP on the other hand, has declared he will never own a kindle because he simply loves the tactile experience of old books. He is as happy as a pig in mud today because a small four volume set of Alexander Pope's poetry (published 1835) arrived in the post today. Cost all of 40 bucks from The Old Clothier's Arms in Gloucester. It is the closest I have ever seen him to positively gloating.
Am expecting to be regaled with ancient verse when I climb into bed tonight!
