Graduation, rain and gogo juice
Since Kat is once again bitching at me to update here it is.
Had Becs graduation down in Dunners on Saturday so spent the weekend down there. Drove down to Ashburton on Thursday with mum and becs friend Jodie, stayed the night with my aunt then went the rest of the way on Friday with a detour to pick up grandad Bob and Shirley in Timaru and to see Dot and Bill at Rosewill.
That was somewhat amusing as we learned about the wonders of "gogo juice" Some friend had sent them this stuff (which is actually called goji juice) and apparently it cures or at least helps with everything - makes you better in bed, stonger, happier and cheerful (reason not to take it I would've thought), helps with cancer, diabetes (and everything it seems except arthritis and rheumatism cos they weren't mentioned, but hey, nothings perfect), makes you live longer - some dude supposedly lived from 1638-1930 and scientists proved it. I want to know how, I mean, noone else was alive back then so what did they do? carbon date his bones or something?
Anyway, this juice does everything so Uncle Bill is trying it and figures he'll end up being 200 yrs old and bouncing off the walls. Should be highly amusing for whoever gets to see him at least.
Got down to Dunners and dropped Jods at Becs flat, Grandad Bob and Shirley at my great uncle Rex's then went on to Tony and Brons house.
Had Becs graduation on Saturday, all good as far as long, boring ceremonies go, least it wasn't as long as mine and Kats was. Went out for dinner with everone on Saturday night
Had Stellas 90th luncheon on Sunday, she's gone downhill alot since I last saw her 2 yrs ago but apparently is better than she has been.
Had the joy of coming the whole way home on Monday. About 10 hrs or so in the rain.
Rained the whole way up from Dunners to Nelson. Great fun to drive in.
My theory is that NZ is now at the top of Mother Natures hit list. The flooding seems to be moving up the country, 1st Dunedin, then Christchurch, then Nelson, well Tahuna really but it's still Nelson, so I figure it'll head on up to wellington in the next week or so.
Is actually fine today, at the moment at least. Hopefully it stays that way since I have to babysit Nicky's kids today and would much rather they can kill each other outside instead of in. much easier to clean up the mess.
Have to go see the travel person now as at the moment I'm booked to fly to Greece on Lufthansa which is all good but not sure if they have the mini t.v's in each seat. Each flight is about 11 hrs or so long, damned if I'm reading the entire time, don't have that many books for a start, so if they don't I'll change airlines. Singapore is good but means I have to stop over in Singapore and having been there for xmas as well as every flight except 1 in the last 2 years you might say I'm just a bit sick of Singapore.
