Gosh it's hard to believe today being 17 degrees and a blue sky that two days ago we had a horrendous storm with winds up to 180kmh. Trees have fallen in the roads causing motorist to turn around, Paige got stuck at work and we couldn't get to her in the end someone brought her home quite late. Auckland bridge was closed to motor bikes as the wind whisked two of them off their bikes. Friends of ours moved into their new home and their roof was ripped off, people lost their electricity that night and some are still out now. It was scarey! Wellits the end of school holls, we have had a good 2 weeks off, Carly & I drove to whangerie to Zion to see some lions, and we went to watch the new Harry Potter flim and Transformers which was excellent. Well I'm starting work Monday, quite excited about it really, how sad. Jaden had his friend Tayla round today and she put make-up on him i wish i had my camera handy bit it ran out of battery. He looked in the mirror and said Quote ' That don't look very nice Tayla you got got it on my eye brows' and went and washed it off, it was funny. O well Friday the 13th today going to dish up dinner then going out for an end of the week deserved drink.

They start them young over here

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO PAIGE- 15

Waiheke Island _ The Crowd

We visited Waiheke island yesterday, took the car across the ferry which took about 35 minutes. It is a beautiful place you could almost imagine you are on a carribean Island and the weather didn't let us down. It was also Paiges's 15th birthday, we had such a laugh, I laughed all day.

Well I managed to get thru the first half of the holidays, ha ha
I went for my second interview on Thursday and they rung me up within the hour of getting home to offer me the job, pending references. I start on the 16th July when they go back to school, I have 5 weeks off at christmas, great eh! They also offered me more money than originally started with and to go up in 3 months!
Thought we were back in Cornwall this week we have had rain and more rain but 17 degrees crazy eh, also over at New Plymouth they have had Tornedo's destroying loads of houses wiping the roofs from over them. Luckily not reached us!
Took the kids to Wiewera spa today its great as Paige can get us in for nothing, it was lovely sat in a 48 degree spa sitting outside at 6.30 this evening, shame I had a flat white in my hand and not a glass of savvy. The weather news has just come on showing lots of lovely snow down on the South Island, must get down there.

Well the end of an era, the house is no longer ours
