ca@p tv - its great - we never watch it much any more
Seafood - you can go diving for your dinner - we get cray fish and scallops - but our places are a secret
You get Fruit loops here
Quality of the meat - brilliant

Tomorrow "The World" is docking at Russell - so we can say we sailed around the world! ( well it makes me laugh!) so that's got to be a positive

My wooden house - you can cut a hole in it and stick in a new window!! easy peesy!

Amazing service in shops and restaurants - everyone is friendly
Long hot summers
a huge garden
My dog thinks hes in heaven hes so happy - you mean I can roam around the garden on my own???

Oh and today we decided we're going to get a donkey!!! yipeee

A donkey? Fantastic! What a brilliant pet, what are you going to call it?

By the way, you do realise you are only allowed a certain number and size of those sea things you're diving for, don't you? The diving suggestion would have been no good for me - I hate sport and the sea is no place for humans, there are things in there that eat you.

I like the smell of Rotorua - and I'm not being sarcastic.

I'm not too sure - we're going to wait till we get it - unless its a rescue and has a name already. I just want to get a wee straw hat for it.

We have the plastic measure thingies on our dive bags so that we can measure to make sure the scallops and crays are big enough - you're allowed 20 scallops per person on the boat - but normally we just take what we'll eat - say 10. And 2 crays.

Not really too much to eat us up here - but we dived with dolphins 2 weeks ago! That is a huge positive ( if you like diving with dolphins)

I am very impressed that you have the measuring things - clearly you are not a Kiwi! Actually that is disingenuous of me, I do know some Kiwis who stick to rules. I tried several times to dive with the dolphins (to attempt to get over my irrational fear of the water) but the weather was always too crap and they kept putting it off.

Did you hear about the dolphins that saved the guy from the shark a while ago? I think it was in Northland somewhere.

ROFL - Hubby says "are you going to cut holes in a straw hat and put it over his ears?" Oh, when? I love donkeys - my mum went for a walk one evening and came back with two she found just wandering on the road We had them for 3 months before we found out who they belonged to! hahaha
