Tri Nations - All Blacks vs Wallabies

Dear All Blacks,
I hope you pricks know you won on penalties and the Ozzies deserved and should have won.
That's all.
Love Camilla

Watched the game on big screen tonight.
The parentals idea.

The only exiting part about the game was that Air NZ commercial at half time.

All Blacks vs Springboks on July 26th.
Hope they have their caffeine fix by then, cos they sucked tonight despite their win.
That rhymed.

Midnight Saturday, it's raining.

Bridge Pa from the school.
Spot Auntys orange house.

The reason Bridge Pa runs out of water.

Just because they want to water the grass and grow grapes.

Our 400+ community has a yearly water crisis.

Snow on the south mountains.

I think these are the Ruahine ranges, but I'm not entirely sure .. might be the Kawekas.

Screw the Ozone with a medium rare Filet Mignon

Saw the twins today in their hood.
They snobbed me, probably because I yell at them alot.

My mums a firebug. She's always burning stuff.

This cow was a weirdo.

Cow Porn.

Washed my car this morning and cleaned the inside.
It was messy again by the end of the day.

Kudos to Aunty Vi and her Sour Cream and Chive chip crumbs and Allegra with her rainbow ice cream hand prints on the inside door.
And finally, it's raining again.

It's not post secret .. but it's just as funny.

Atalya wants to be the 4th Moronicle, but she has to earn it.
She only had one thing listed in her qualifying 'things to do to become a Moronicle'
"Funny things I think of that will make me on the Moroncicles website"
- Try do heaps of big farts.

Ashton is a pig.

Funny crap from Nan Nans application.

...

...

Finally, if you haven't seen it yet go see Harry Potter 6.
It's pretty fantastical all 3 hours of it.
I didn't even mind the 100+ kids that surrounded me.
It was that fab.
Very emotional last half hour.

Allegra's Mum ... for shizzle.

Another weekend roaming ..

There's just something about an Old School graveyard.

Can't quite put my finger on it.

Need to make a trip to Hamilton, the graveyard there is fantastical.

Photos by Harriet.

View from something Island in Napier.

And again ..

Then there's Allegra .. who we can't run away from and who always cries.
Always.

Nina's shots.

Watery Grave.

Broken Grave.

Guess what?
It's raining again.

TGIF

Tarly spent her money on a Twilight poster and a Leona Lewis CD.
She documented this in her unofficial Moronicles book.

Partial Opera House in Hastizzle.
It's supposed to be haunted.
Maybe Roflet lives there.


Ano.

The clock tower in the middle of town.

The End.

Dinner with The Reids

Dinner with The Reid's tonight.

Nina swearing at her kids probably.

RIP red ball.

Luci being an a-hole.

Blood up.

Michael Jacksons tangi.

Cheese sausages, mashed taters and corn.

It wasn't mushroom ravioli at all .. it was Basil and Ricotta ravioli with a mushroom sauce.

Close enough.

Boiling.

Use Portabellos .. always use portabellos.

Daily Shots.

Working on my Folio.
So there.

Wednesday night tomorrow .. we know what that means.
Dinner with The Reids.
Mushroom Ravioli for the T-Liters.
Sausages for the haters.

Allegra is both cute and evil.

And again.

Havelock North graveyard. Spooky place.

For this reason ...

.. and this reason.
It was suggested I put the camera down the hole and snap a picture .. yeah, screw that.

The orange mushrooms growing on the tree.

Graveyard.

Again.

Nina's Saturday Photos

I only retouched 2 Nins. So they didn't suck as much. They're stamped.

Nice car, Mt Erin, PA and Te Mata

Unloaded the compact flash today so some of these are a few weeks old.

Ellis's car pre-TradeMe.

I would have taken off the license plate number via PhotoShop, but why ruin a good photo.

Front.

Side.

Snow on Mt. Erin.

First time in my 30 years I've seen snow on Mt. Erin.

Today. Bridge Pa from the South end.

Outside of the house.

Gregs shed .. need a window at the front of the flat.

Leggy's with her Dolce & Gabanas

The Gyno room at the A&E Department

Aunty at the A&E - she had a fever and was admitted.

We were put in the Gyno room cos it had a door and we needed to be isolated cos Chemo and Germs don't mix.

Hospital crap.
She should be out tomorrow!

Breaking News in PA

Creeks running.

See?

The farmer up the road does this every time it rains.
The bastard.

But he holds it back during summer, hence our community has no water for months and has to go on TV in order for the city council to hear.

Uncle Stan laying a hinaki.

Rainy Hastings City.

It isn't much .. but it works.

It's going to rain till Wednesday.

Cute Romey.

And again.

And again.

Ninas lamp.

Best soda pop in New Zealand, Passionfruit Fizz made with Splenda.

Leggy's on the phone with Uncle Larry.

Eco Soap and Beat It

Pony introduced me to Eco Soap .. and by that I mean she left one in the shower before she went back to Aukalani.

The white one is coconut, the green one, which is the best one, is Manuka Honey & Kelp and it has Oats in it .. no need for a loofa!

They run for $1.60 each around about.
No Chemicals. No animals fats or tallow. No synthetic dyes. No sodium lauryl sulphate and No propylene gycol.

There are four flavors.
Lemongrass, which smells like dish washing liquid.
Manuka Honey & Kelp, which is the best one.
Coconut, which smells like coconut and has coconut bits in and Vanilla, which doesn't smell like vanilla at all.

And finally, RIP Michael Jackson.
I think you were guilty and I don't think those children are your own at all, but you made some good tunes so Kudos.
Hope you enjoy the escalator ride, be it going up or down.

Empanadas with The Reids

But first ... the spider.

.. and my bruised palm.

Filling the Empanadas.

Ready to bake.

Sealed.

Done.

Atalya had 4 the piglet.

Ashton had 2 and Leggy's 2nd one was a fake.
