The new year 9:47AM

Whoa dudes it's been a long time no write huh!

Well December?. Stuff happened. There was some drinking. Okay a lot of drinking. I saw LOTR. There was some large-ish Friday nights as the disturbances attest. The TT Christmas party, Ems leaving party.

Farmgirl showed up for a bit. We celebrated her becoming older and more crusty.

Christmas was up at Ems with her family. Cool to get out of Wellington and also a good chance to hang out with Ems before she left. (BTW Ems I really didn't notice any 'bad family vibes'.. but thats just me)

Just prior to Christmas Leon took my scoter for a spin and blew out the exhaust seal. So I'm scooterless. After we took the motor out Leon gave the frame of the scooter to his sister as a Christmas gift.. so now I have to get my frame sorted.

On that note Leon and I had a scooter-fixing trip around the top of the south island. Staying at vineyards in Blenheim, the floor of an internet caf' in Nelson, a paddock, some hot springs and a nudist colony. New years eve I spent with a bunch of hippies in Takaka. Tried some herbal e. Waste of $40, and I hate to say it but the real stuff is better.

A one dayer. 9:53AM

Ems farewell party was great fun. Kinda cool to catch up with everybody i havn't seen for a while. Also looks like some good gossip has also come out of that night.. Ems you better mail me to find out.. :)

Went to my first live cricket one dayer the other day. It was also the first time I 'd been to the Wellington stadium. Sat in the sun and watched most of the game form end to end. As far a cricket goes it was a pretty mediocre game. But had a wicked time with the 20 or so people I went with. Deanne was shocked to hear I've also never been to a live rugby game. So I'm booked in a month or so to do that.
