Why is he "chuckling" (that word always makes me smile) about seeing the mountain three times:confused: :)

Because Taranakians make a big deal of the mountain but it is always covered in bloody cloud so visitors very rarely see it!

He seems to be settling in very well, actually - which surprises me a bit because is a homeboy and misses his mates and stuff when we go on holiday for god's sake.

But tonight, after a day at work, a look at a purple Toyota Hilux Surf I want ( which is almost double the price we said we would spend on a car!), a fish supper from Tom Cruise's favourite takeaway and a walk on the beach he said all dancey round the sitting room that he felt very happy - so something must be going right for him!!

I think the fact that I am a 'home executive', as the woman from Telecom described, it helps as well as his shirts are being washed AND ironed!! :D

Guess you gotta get something expensive and classy to match the jacket eh ? :D
