Hi all

Just a quick catch up as I have been procrastinating too long and must do some work for school - poops!

Adam and I finally visited the dentist last week (after 2 years of living here)! We went to one recommended by a colleague. It was very good and the dentist was very gentle! My teeth are fine - but the porcelain veneers are getting towards the end of their life and need replacing at some point. Adam has got to have 4 wisdom teeth out - the cost of a return air ticket to the UK! Whew! Poor lad has got to have a surgeon to do it cos they're embedded into his jaw or summink.

Methinks we need to get insurance and soon - cos my veneers are gonna cost a lot more!

Hey ho.

Our kayaks are fab - even though we've only been out on them once! The weather has changed for the worse and it is deffo autumn now - we've had the log burner going for a couple of evenings. The photo below is just outside the shop where we got them in Panmure. Very nice man there and he gave us a good deal!


Here I am - well padded out with life jacket and about 4 layers of clothes! I was boiled by the time I finished but didn't dare take anything off whilst in the boat in case I lost it in the water or fell in!

This is my luverly kayak!

And here's Kev in his! Good fun!

That's Rangitoto Island behind his head - it's a dormant volcano - can see it from most parts of Auckland.

Well gotta go - work is a calling - here is an advert I hear after the traffic news each morning on my way to work:

"Don't want a bigger car? Have a no scalpel vasectomy!"

There you go! All problems solved!

Tara!

PS - Am just off to have a cup of tea and some feijoa cake - got feijoas everywhere at the mo - they've gone mad this year.
