Ha ha ha, they've elevated the humble flip flop to national icon status together with their blind flightless bird, ha ha ha. Drum roll....Welcome to the land of the Jandal.
Shall we call 'em "Jandals" instead of "kiwis"?

I actually think kiwis are really cool - far more worthy of iconic status than a silly flip flop or a marmite sandwich....

I do admit to being a bit frazzled occasionally by the time my OH gets back from work.... some days hes worse than others.... the best thing I can do is keep him busy and keep going out down to the park and the beach. I feel like I'm going a bit insane so Im looking for some part time work but no luck so far
