Mmmm... crisp butties for lunch. Now there's healthy for you. It's like I'm fattening up for the winter. Oh if only I could hibernate. I've ticked lots off my Things To Do List but had to encouter the dreaded Doctor's Receptionist this morning. Explained my urgency in getting the children's imms. all typed up nicely for me to present to their new school but she just had a look in her eye that said, "You'll get them when we're good and ready." Yesterday we pretended we were tourists and went up to the top of the Sky Tower, the southern hemisphere's tallest building. Now The Hubster and I argued this as we thought the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur would have won that hands down but apparently it isn't in the southern hemisphere... although we reckon it looks like it on the world map but who are we to argue. So yes, we shot the 60 floors up, ooohhed and aahhhed at the 360 degree view (which you can see for yourself via the link above) then went to the Ruan Thai for what is arguably The Best Thai Curry in Auckland. Well in my humble opinion it is and it's in a lovely, if dimly lit, setting, with all sorts of different artifacts shown off in glass cabinets and a large, wooden elephant and rider as you walk in. We were shown to a window seat which in the summer has fantastic views across the harbour but it was dark and raining last night so not much fun for the children. Still, Sproglet A said it was the best meal ever! Says a lot about my cooking, doesn't it?

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...
