Day 160

i love having visitors and was muchly looking forward today. one of my bestie's niksta and her man were in town for the weekend, and today, was our day!
nik and i only the year before i moved to chc when i was temping and was 'her' for a few weeks. we hit it off right away and have stayed in touch ever since. many adventures we have had since then....including being nana's at the viaduct a few saturday's prior to xmas and watching all the trashed girls having cat fights. walking down k rd with me mouthing off and niksta pulling me down the street before i possibly got my face re-arranged for telling these young girls that the way they were dressed they should really be working the corner down the way. being harassed by comedians, as per day 76!
so understandably i was looking forward to all sorts of hi-jinx, or at the least a lot of laughs. i was not let down, although a momentary low in energy for kirst looked like ruining the day with a possible meltdown...but once again, niksta saved the day by ensuring that food was found to meet my needs and literally forced it down my throat.
a fabulous day was had by the four of us and chc put the weather on for our akl visitors!
nb - for those having not entered the male toilets at fat eddies in sol square - this is what they look like ;)

Day 159

full moons aren't my friend....well mostly they aren't. lack of sleep, grumpy moods, exhaustion and general meh-ness. lots of people are affected by the full moon. some more than others. of particular note, was one of my tutor's at tech. he would act like like a hyperactive child the days surrounding the full moon.....all caused by lack of sleep, so he claimed....

Day 158

so the day finally arrived, last week, when boy and i turned into the 'sad' couple. ok, so many of you may think this happened a while ago, and it probably did, but we got sadder, ok!
boy got himself a lappy last week, he's been masturbating over it since then, but we do manage to be in the same bed together and not just for sleeping.....

so tradg'

Day 157

another afternoon, which dragged into evening, spent down at the library drinking coffee and using their internet....actually, more just sitting enjoying the last of the afternoon sun as we didn't get down there until late in the afternoon and i needed to look for some books.

Day 156

the arts festival is on at the moment, as i have mentioned previously. this year there seems to be way more awareness and marketing than a couple of years ago, particularly emphasised by the huge 'entrances' in cathedral square.
they are pretty cool tho, and it made me stop and notice the multimedia installations shown 'in' the window frames of buildings surrounding the square. i have to say the pole dancing deer head was rather amusing, but spell-binding at the same time.
oh - there is an ice rink in an 'igloo' temporarily in the square

Day 155

my aunt flew through chc today on her way home to gore after being in auckland for the birth of her youngest's first child. i went out to the airport to hang out with her while she waited for her connecting flight to dunner's.
it was great to catch up and spend time with her and hear about what is happening in her world and my nana's world. my nana was moved to gore from wanganui last year so she could be closer to my aunt.
nana was 95 this year. she's in relatively good health, but a tad dottery!!! bless her....she wouldn't have a clue who i am!
anyway, we had a quick coffee, i saw pictures of the newest grandchild and then met her partner(who was on a different flight) and walked them to their plane...which i have to say, was at a gate i didn't even know existed!

Day 154

Today we had the boy's nana's (well, great) 100th bday. i'm not big on group things at the best of times, but for this to be a group of unknown's all related to boy was even more daunting! ok, so really they were there to see nana, but i was bound to get harrassed at some point, little did i know it would be perched at the top of an unsteady ladder while i was trying to take family group photos! as one can see, i wasn't wearing the most practical shoes to be up a ladder either. luckily there weren't too many, three, two, one's and vice versa, required and the pain lasted only a short time. after that tho, everyone knew who i was and i therefore had to make conversation with everyone. actually it wasn't as bad as i expected.
boy's family are not too bad!
