Hello everyone! got into trouble from my Dad as I hadnt updated this for a while so i thought Id better get it updated before the next leg of our adventure! Had a great few days of Xmas then it was back to work for me, Graeme was off so he quite enjoyed being a man of leisure! He helped Cameron (Robs bro) move some stuff from Auckland to Hamilton as hes heading off to Australia, so that was good! On my days off we went to a wee place called Tirau that is famous for corrugated creations, it was like everything was madeout of iron/tin - like the tourist info place was a big dog and all the shop signs were made out of it, was pretty cool to se but didnt take any photos as it was absolutly pouring down! Then one night we wentto Temple View and saw the christmas lights, that where some of the end xmas photos are from. Its like a big temple that puts on a massive display at xmas time, we went about 10pm and i thought it will be quiet but jeez oh there was so many people! we had to park a bit away as there was no spaces and it was hoaching! was really good to see though!
New Years Eve I was working then we went out for dinner which was fab, then New Years Day we tok Norm and Norma (Julies mum and dad) out for lunch to The c*** and Bull. It was nice, really English pub but good! Think they enjoyed it.
On Wednesday 4th Jan Graeme headed down to Christchurch to start his new job. Hes working in demolition. So I stayed in Hamilton myself as I had good hours at work anyway! Had Norm round for a scottish night one nite with haggis and irn bru! ten just kept myslef busy by working and going to the gym! Graeme seemed to enjoy his first few weeks and even managed to get a wee house to rent so that was all good!
So he flew back up on Friday night, picked julie and jonathan up from airport on saturday morning then started his journey with Dorsi (car) back down to Christchurch, quite a long journey! took 7 hours to wellington, stayed, 3 hours on ferry on sunday then about 4 hours to christchurch but he made it! I was working, so Friday night we ahd a wee leaving nite at my work with pizza, worked saturday and sunday and I fly down to christchurch tonite! So im looking for a new job and we are quite excited about getting into our new pad!
Julie and Jonathan are back from vietnam and seemed to have a great time! It was a cycling trip. It has been great staying with them and they have been so good to us but quite looking forward to going somewhere new and starting another part of our adventure!

Padma Hello Der-shing Helmer, and thanks for the great read!On your point I must coesnfs, that some mediocre web comics can be bearable because they update often and on time (say, *cough* Wayward Sons). But when YOU are actually capable of this kind of quality, you should rather worry about keeping that standard and really not about quantity at all.Anyway, I don't think you can shut up all the spoiled children and anonymous a-holes out there on the internets by way of responding to theme280a6 Even if you told off all of those reading now, later other idiots will join (bet on it) who won't have read this thread.The only long time solution is to stop wasting emotional energy, period. You are so very good at your own thing, and you should focus on that. Best of health going forward and cheers :-)
