I forgot to add a couple of links to the last post, most importantly to the latest pics (I get complaints if there's not lots of pics) and also to some odd terminology... "tramping" is NZ-speak for hiking or fellwalking. Walking, especially of the odd exaggerated-arm-swinging variety with optional wiggly hips and sticky-out bums, appears to be mega-popular, quite possibly as an antidote to driving absolutely everywhere. Like round the corner to drop the kids off, as a couple of Elly's schoolmates seem to do. There appears to be no activity in between, unless it involves water. Or gambling.
I dunno, it's really too easy to generalise and I'm probably way off the mark as far as actual facts go... I'm getting this blogging done during my daily caffeine fix at Esquires, who have free wireless access which actually works on occasion. Quite often it cuts out just as I'm posting something up, like yesterday... links are obviously the product of surfing, which is (obviously) at a premium these days. No matter, I just signed up today with NZ Telecom for a big fat broadband deal which will (they say) magically activate itself the day we move into our new place. Until then, you should probably take all my pontificating with the cruet set at hand.
Right. I've fixed the links, added more here and made feeble excuses. Hasta luego! x
