why does someone always have to come along and put a negative spin on something positive? I will say I did read that yesterday though - and its in America not NZ.

No problemo! Had a great Monday despite miserable weather in Auckland yesterday. New term started at my pottery class last night. I missed the last 2 classes of the last term and it was so nice to be greeted with questions of where had I been and comments that I had been missed, not to mention that I spent 3 hours playing with clay.

Finished the day feeling very relaxed and content with my NZ life.

I have this with a craft group I go to. Not that I'm much into 'craft' as such but we do have such a laugh & the bonus is that now many of us know each other quite well , we look out for each other. One is absent , the others are onto it. Gives one the warm fuzzies.

For crying out loud - grow up! I wasn't being negative and I was fully aware it was in America, I thought it was incredible, and slightly amusing.

Paranoid much?

I'll slink off to somewhere with a sense of humour....
