Trying to get back into the whole work thing this week. Still recovering from a bug so just doing wee bits at a time then heading home exhausted.

On the upshot, I worked really hard before Christmas to set this year up well and it has paid dividends, still very little to do yet as I had preloaded everything last year!

Really wanting to prioritise family this year and not continuing to be a consumer whore. Which might mean a paycut, but while the kids are still young I think it's worth it.

And not even missed the kids once?

These are an essential piece of beach/holiday gear to fix your jandals(flipflops or thongs in Australia)with.

I get visions of HAL or that Simpsons Halloween special with the sentient house.

Failing that there is a good has strut replacement place in Auckland too.

Enjoy that no kids thing! The break without them every now and again is so essential. We only manage one or two weekends a year with four of the blighters.

Ignore my ramblings. I'm just frustrated at the state of our media/news and can't think of a solution.

RNZ is great, Of the mediums it doesn't have the same reach, it's quality which should happen on TVNZ etc. I know they are funded as well, but it seems like they are just as bad as everyone else.

Skim of plaster and a couple of coats of primer/sealer? (I'm not a builder)

Looking good.

I was curious if this was the shed you were putting up! Hilarious. I read the reviews which matches with your progress updates.

Was going to get this for my place. Will be interested to hear your review once it's done.

I kinda think we should have an independent, protected and taxpayer funded media service. Would make for better politicians.

Haha, the pragmatic outlook! Love it.

 

I like having knives, forks, spoons left to right as that is how I say it "grab a knife and fork".

I am staying in an Airbnb and they have the spoons separating the knives and forks and wonder if this is in insane or maybe I am the minority/insane one?
