Got my photos back from my jollies. Trying to convince The Hubster that the cost of films and processing will soon mount up and that a new digicam will be worth the investment. Pleas falling on deaf ears up to now though. Hurrumph. Been scoffing my face with bloody Nutella after reading a new Blog I'd discovered whilst perusing last years finalists over at the Bloggies. Christ I must weigh a tonne or more these days.
Tall Ships have today arrived in Auckland for the Harbour Festival. Only just found out which is a bit of an arse because it would have been a lovely sight to see them breeze into the Waitemata Harbour, their sails flapping in the breeze. Last time I saw the Tall Ships was in the docks at Liverpool, UK. That too was a great day as I recall; bought four ice-creams for a tenner and received change in the sum of around 14 quid! Lovely day. None of the ships had their sails up though which makes Tall Ships look, well, a bit boring really; nothing but wooden poles sticking out at all angles with bits o'rope dangling off 'em. Anyhow, we'll trundle by tomorrow. Can't pass up the chance to be part of New Zealand's premiere event. Be nice to get some 'culcha'. Not a great deal of it in New Zealand. Gotta grab it whilst you can.

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...
