I am supposed to be cleaning the dirt and dust off the trampoline which is lying in a non too tidy heap downstairs. I really don't like all this crappy cleaning I have to do now, especially downstairs as it's the middle of June and cold down there, so I pottered around upstairs making food hampers for friends out of the strange odds and sods I have in my store cupboard. 3 bags each of self raising and all purpose flours, treacle, couscous, 2 tins of peaches, Carnation Light and Creamy 97% fat free milk and 3 tins - yes 3 - of Bachelors Mushy Peas. I don't know if I'm too embarrassed to give them to friends! I've exhausted anything else that stops me from doing the dirty jobs downstairs so I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and get them done. You see, truth be known, they should have been done the other day but due to yet another of Auckland's total 1950's style blackout, the guy coming to collect The Hubster's car decided he wouldn't dice with death at all those traffic lightless junctions and asked if it was OK to leave it until Tuesday. Yes, sure, fine. The Hubster filled it with a wee spot of juice to get him home, zeroed the clock - and the damn thing stopped working. Well the car has decided it's old and doesn't want to clock up the kilometres any longer. Well ain't that just great! We called the buyer and asked if he wanted to sort it out, ie. did he enjoy tinkering with cars as a hobby? He doesn't and he wants it fixing so I was too-ing and fro-ing all day long to drop cars and husbands here, there and everywhere, or so it felt. It's now going to cost $450 to fix and The Hubster is not a happy man. It was our Wedding Anniversary on Monday too. We celebrated by doing nowt. Didn't even cook anything special. Seven years. Keep scratching.

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...
