Kiwi’s Please Sign this Petition

icon-nononoLet’s not let this lot get away with this piece of legislation….
Why can they pass a law to get their butts out of hot water, but can’t pass one that will give tougher sentencing on those a-holes that kill kids and rape old ladies?????

Remember, it’s YOUR hard-earned money they spent on getting themselves voted in, not their political parties money!

GoogleMaps!

Posted in Life and Times! at 3:39 pm by Marg

Whoo Hoo! My new toy this week is GoogleMaps. It is sooooo cool. I have been finding all sorts of neat places. Places where I have lived, been on holiday to, where friends live etc, etc….

This is where I used to live in South Africa (house gone, just bare land left), also where my primary and secondary school is: Click Here for Selcourt, Springs, South Africa

Lost Weekend

Posted in Life and Times! at 2:42 pm by Marg

Where do the weekends go??? This last one seemed to vanish rather quickly and with a lot of expense too!
With Spring here and it being fairly sunny, but still a chill in the air, we decided to invite Big Son and some of his pals, Ollie, Anna and Grant round for a BBQ icon-evil2 on Sunday.

This is fine, but when R decided to check the BBQ and give it a bit of a “service”, it was discovered that the burners had rusted and a new BBQ was the only solution. (Well, who am I to say no to him, when this is the only way I can get him to cook!)

After much searching and humming and haaaing, he settled on a real “luxury” one complete with a rotisserie and a hob to use a wok on – R is definately being adventurous!!! Then I saw one of those patio burner heater thingies and decided we needed one of those too, ’cause sometimes it gets cold! icon-winking

The delivery takes place next week…. Now if only we had our new deck built to accommodate the new stuff! icon-confused2

Anyway, BBQ went ahead using our old one and R still managed to do an excellent job of the steak – The kids enjoyed having a “proper” meal for a change and the free beer was a bonus! icon_hehe

Ah… Good weekend!

How lazy am I???

Posted in Life and Times! at 8:54 am by Marg

Gosh, been back for weeks and have not been near the blog at all…
Well will try to update more often.
Wish I was still on holiday. Have started printing out all my photos – massive job – and then I still have to scrapbook them! AAAAARRRGGHHH!
Perhaps I’ll also add a photo gallery to the site so everyone can share some of our travels.
