Can't believe there's new entries and I haven't seen them. I've been up to nothing, really. But... 1000x congrats on the new house! That is exciting. I think I had about 15 mini heart attacks while we were waiting for everything to go unconditional on ours. Landlords = suck, so it was worth it. DAH!

Babies do that to you =) Totally wasted the morning. My biggest achievement today is to check here. I may even have time to read the news. On the plus side I am soo busy that I don't have time to watch daytime TV. It’s 10am and I’m still in my pyjamas. Babies do that to you =)

My in-laws, on the other hand, live at the end of the road. You are right that family can wind you up the wrong way. They have had so much more practice at it and know all your weak points. On the plus side, you know all of theirs. When I get upset I look for stand up comedy on Youtube. Works every time but it can be hard on the usage meter. My family live 300 kilometres away.

The dairy can be open but not the supermarket which seems a little stupid but then I think Easter trading is inconsistently applied. Queenstown for instance can open 365 days a year but people arrive in Wanaka for the airshow and can't buy any food on the Friday or Sunday. Looking back on my childhood there are things I now miss but lots that I don't. Mostly I don't miss having to share my toys with my brother. I do miss having time.

I do miss having time.

I hung out with some little kids yesterday and they were just so oblivious to everything. I was jealous. No need to pay rent or complain about the price of milk... Just some scented crayons to draw with or eat. On the upside though, I noticed Chupa chups were back to 20c each this weekend! Only they're kinda quarter the size. =( Sigh. I get ya.
