... I did. Last night. After 4 back to back days of non-stop painting and decorating.

Rather wish I hadn't now.

I say, cheers � ����.

Well I'm celebrating as I've got my first rehearsal tonight for the Mel Brooks' musical "The Producers." Didn't think I'd go for another audition after the last one but I love this show so much I had to and I got in!

Just the lift I needed after being very down. Just part of the chorus but may have a cameo role too

BEVS the bar could do with a fresh lick of paint whilst your at it

You could update it. How about some lamb chops? with parsnips

That's great news, Vital

Thanks BB. I've already managed to break my little toe at the first rehearsal, so well on the way to breaking my whole leg by opening night!

Think we have the odd lamb in the freezer, so could try summat with that, the fresh stuff will have to wait until spring. You can have it with kumara chips and beetroot. Grabbing you??

In the meantime,

dagnammit - it must be a while, forget I'm 13 hours behind now... maybe you should be having nice cups of tea too... i'll leave a bit of something behind the bar though, just in case!

Welcome back Stoof. How's things?

As you can see it's been very quiet in here for yonks now. By decor, I'm guessing you mean the cobwebs, peeling wallpaper and dust. Will try and do a bit of clearing up whilst you're sleeping.

Cup of tea is just the job right now.

Tis evening now and can't quite decide between Corruba, Sav blanc, Oyster Bay bubbles or a Pinot gris

well that's better - thanks Vitals!

ok here ta - I've done an update but it's been sat with the mods for a couple of days. I'm guessing now I'm new, maybe I need to prove myself with a few more posts before it'll get posted...

how's tricks? I imagine you'll be a wee bit warmer in Whangaparaoa than we are here - chuff it's freezing this morning - just lit the fire. It's been a REALLY long, wet, cold winter - thoroughly miserable! days are starting to get a bit longer again now though so the end is in sight!
