  Monday. Not a lot happened today really, the day started off early for me, woke up 0530, it had rained heavily all night. It took a long time to clear, but eventually the sun broke through, and brought the environs back o light again. When its grey here everything seems grey and fed up , but when the sun arrives , everything happens , its like the difference from an old silent B & W movie and the latest Technicolor , THX surround sound epic, it really is that different. At the moment , I have got time to sit on the deck and reflect , The Tanners have headed out into the distance to go to Tauranga to go shopping , in Briggsys Jeep. They would have normally taking Mistrel, but we are still waiting on the right front brake tube coming into town after it went the other day whilst I was driving. Scarey. Briggsy is resting by the pool zapping in the rays , having some adult quiet time , and today , I will let her have quiet on her own by the pool. She works exceptionally long days, up at 0530 hrs returning home around 1830 hrs. 12 hours work may seem average to some city types , who have sedentary work styles , hers and the rest of  The Stud workers  , have a 12 hour physical workout daily , so much so that she now sports a highly toned physique , bulging biceps the works .
She bears no resemblance to Fatima Whitbread though. Sitting here kicking back with my incense sticks and Cafel Mar tunes playing ambient chill in the background. Colourful birdsong and the sound of the neighbours up the hill, using a mower. Whilst some may like the Banging tunes vacation, this is my idea of a vacation far from the maddening crowd.
Sheer perfection. At this moment in time I could not wish to be any where else. No Girls wailing and shrieking, adult chill time. I dont know how, or wish to learn how parents do it. You must be incredibly tolerant, or deaf and blind. Eric & Michelle must have a degree in it. I turned my hand in today in the kitchen , quite literally whilst preparing meals ready for the Chrimbo period. After a shopping trip this afternoon in Cambridge, quite a pretty little town just 30 minutes up the road. I had decided I would cook up some old faves of mine, ones that I used on the last time over here with Mirre & Eudes. Piedmont Style oven roasted peppers , similar too but not like that evil woman DS version , who no doubt will be dictating to the Brit public, where they have been going wrong over all the years in the kitchen department.
Oven roasted squash Soap & Oven Roasted Mixed Onion Marmalade. Whilst prepping the squash , I quite by accident and subconsciously thought that it needed some flesh in it and sliced clean into my left index finger. Claret all over the place, luckily Michelle as a Nurse, and ITU Sister at that, she quickly cleaned and sutured me up, I had three stitches (I did not get a lolly for being brave thogh .. Not fair. No such thing as a Lucky Bleeder especially if you is a haemophiliac) All sorted now though, all though I reopened it all up when I went down to play with thepigs a little earlier. Briggsy has just popped around the corner to enquire as to What R U eating? Der I am typing. She is dving into Home made Lemon curd sandwiches.
Purely for quality control purposes Just how much Lemon Curd can one test, I am sure she must have made up a decision by now, she is almost into the second jar in as many days. Wait till she reads this, and I get a slap. Oh well, live dangerously. Any way she has demolished the sarnie and has now joined me on the deck, chatting. It seems somewhat strange but we are both writing Blogs in the same house , about the same period of time , and we both eagerly log on to see what , the others take has been on the day , and look forward to see what the Blog! Teams take on it is. Mummie ( Cxs Mum ) is back home now and eating up emails and blog again.
So thats good news. Hm , the sun is waning now and it looks like it is going to be yet another glorious sunset , far better than Ibiza , and I get to enjoy it loads more. I have missed a few days so far on Blog! But I will back date some entries so they appear in the correct place. Still getting loads of Spam and very few emails. You miss me that much already. If Mia and I decide to move her , which is highly probable if everything gets sorted out soon , I do hope that that you will still keep in contact , all too soon we forget our chums.
Love you all. Miss you all. Kisses for all the ladies. Big Manlike Hairey Chest Hugs for all the fellas. For all of you that read Q4A , I do not mince contrary to what Cx has stated. But I do have two wonderful red light sabres that all of Matamata are jealous of. Laters No piccies were taken today. At this time you will just be waking up in the UK, so have a good one Hitman , Darwin & Ange heres a a big  Mwaahhh  just because. Darwin update you Blog!
