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.

Is it possible to fix something that ain't broke?

improvement is always a possibility - nothing is perfect. however i did not write the headline!

Are we talking nirvana here?

ummmmmmmm no.



Just saying - be grateful for the things we do have! NZ aint too bad a place to live.

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.

Does indeed. they had started all sorts of rumours about what i had been up to and where I had been!

Quick note. This thread was becoming derailed & so spoiling it for others , so I have moved certain posts to another thread HERE

This did come to mind

continuing to be a fab week...........spur of the moment drink with a friend last night in the last of the evening sunshine. Cinema tomorrow night. Mooching about the Diwali celebrations in the city on saturday and BBQ on sunday!

(if the rain stays away that is!)

That takes me back

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....
