Back to normal again after the long weekend. Yesterday was a public holiday as it was the Queen's birthday (not her real one mind) and it signals the beginning of the ski season here in N.Z. I had a rotten day which started with me chucking up then sleeping until 3pm!!! I have no idea what was wrong but I think Sproglet B picked something up as she felt unwell on the Sunday so all in all, not a fantastic weekend.
We spent Saturday jet washing and scrubbing outdoor stuff in preparation for our Oz shipment. Anything with dirt or grass on needs to be clean in order for it to get into the country. We scrubbed the cars too and went to a car fair on Sunday morning. What a great place!!! If you want to sell your car you just turn up on the day, pay $30 and park it up for all to see. There are booths there offering those reports they do, such as if your car has been in an accident or if finance is outstanding etc. If you're lucky enough to sell you can change the owner documents there and then and get finance approved! We just checked the place out on Sunday but it was raining so we didn't stay long. Also, we'd had dinner with friends the night before and drank too much as usual, so we really weren't in the mood for an early start.
I'd wanted to get out and about with the camera but I haven't had much chance. The Hubster bought a Sony Cyber-shot W30 back from Oz as a gift for me. It's wonderful and does so much more than my previous oh-so-basic digicam. I had been doing my homework between this camera or the Canon Ixus 55 and in the end it came down to the Canon being far more expensive than the Sony and offering just about the same thing. I did like the Ixus 750 but that was just too far out of my budget. So far I love my new camera and I'll try and post a couple of photos soon.

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...
