Autumn has arrived, bringing the cooler weather. Auckland should today reach highs of 23 c. Mmmm. I reckon somebody somewhere is pulling my leg. Rained yesterday. Hard. Sproglet A went sailing at French Bay. Two tiddlers to a boat. He was so nervous before he went but came home raving about it. In the eight months he has been at school here, they have taken him rock climbing, kayaking, orienteering and now sailing. It serves to remind us we why we left England. Opportunities such as this no longer exist in the UK. Shame.
Sproglet B and myself were supposed to go on a Kindy fieldtrip to the beach but rain interrupted play so she went to Kindy instead. Not a happy bunny. We will head off for a coffee and fluffy shortly. The gardener phoned to say she will be here at lunchtime. I don't really like to be here when she comes because she doesn't work for me. The gardens are included in the rent which is great as it means The Hubster doesn't have to mow the lawn. Once its been cut, it's as bad again within two weeks. All the colourful flowers are dying off now. We haven't spent a winter in this home so it will be interesting to see if the garden looks just as pretty in winter as it does in summer. Am I really talking about the garden? Must be getting old. Before you know it, I'll be 'pottering' *singger*.
I really have nothing to write home about. My life it currently all ticketty-boo, give or take the odd hiccup, and I feel that I write at my best when it's all gone tits up. Don't you find that too... that people write at their best when things aren't going to plan, if they're depressed, unhappy? Oh well. I guess I'd rather not blog than be miserable. I'm waffling now, I know. Thinking out loud. Think I'll update my blogrolling and go visit other, more-interesting-than-mine blogs. It's become sort of like my morning paper read. I can no longer buy the old Current Bun so I have to blog hop instead. Time for a brew methinks.

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...
