A miracle

Not only did the blog actually let me in first time but I have finally reached 100 posts. I'm ignoring the fact that although we started the blogs at around the same time Kat's reached over 300.
Anyway, we have 4 boys from some choir in the States staying with us for 2 nights. Originally we were having 2 and then we ended up with the other 2 after a billet never showed up so we figured since we have spare room and live so damn close we may as well take them. Were informed they weren't allowed to go bungy jumping, sky diving or swimming, Since they arrived an hour and a half late when it was freezing cold and getting dark don'r think that'll be much of a problem.
Wandered off to the careers advisor people the other day and according to the little quiz thing I did I should do library, museum or animal work. Hardly a huge suprise there although it did manage to also suggest statistician. Since I can't do maths to save my life not too sure of the logic there.
Kaz, not sure if/when I'll get to Dunners but Rob's coming back home next week so you can give it to him. I'll email you his address and ph number.

I HATE computers

Thought I'd finally update before Kat strangled me but as per usual the stupid computer took about 5 tries of me tryping exactly the same thing in before it would let me into the dashboard to update. At least the stupid thing isn't in Turkish any more which is something.
Arrived home last week after about 35 hrs travelling time. So much fun. Not. Flew Emirates. They're a good airline but they seem to have their priorities screwed on which planes they use for which parts of the flights. All the seats have the individual TVs which is all good but not all the planes have the selection of movies etc which is the good and huge selection. Oh no, of course not. So I get the good version from Istanbul to Dubai and then from Melbourne to Auckland and the crap version that only has set movies on the long parts of the trip from Dubai to Singapore and Singapore to Melboune.
Had 3 days in Istanbul with Bec and Simon so did all the tourist stuff - went to the Cistern, (a hig hole with a bunch of pillars where whover designed them is somewhat confused about the concept of putting things the right way up. Out of the 2 carved Medusa heads one was sideways and one was upside down) Topkapi Palace which is huge, the archaeology museum, Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and did a Bosphorus cruise. Had good weather too. Nice and warm. Then I come back to NZ where it's bloody freezing cold.
Going to the Bay for Queens Birthday this weekend and the weather is meant to be crap which means I have a feeling I'll spend most of the time under lots of blankets.
