We've bought a tent. An all singing, all dancing tent. I was hoping for one like the children have...
Step 1: Take tent out of bag. Step 2: Shake tent and voila... up it sproings. Step 3: Relax and enjoy.
At 2 pm we started to errect it; by 2.15pm we'd conceded defeat. "You'd think a tent of this size would have instructions," I bemoaned to The Hubster. He agreed and got on the phone to the shop we purchased it from. "Yes we should have instructions and they'll happily fax them to us if we give them the number." I stared at the phone incredulously, mouth gaping like one of Issy's fish. Fax? Fax?! Do people still fax?! We asked if they'd scan the instructions and email them to us but that function probably won't be widespread in N Z until 2010, just in time for the Rugby World Cup that we are all set to host and so The Hubster had to hop into the car and go collect them. *sigh* I am now awaiting his return in anticipation of commencing all the fighting and arguing that putting a tent up always entails. Oh what a beautiful Sunday!

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
