It's Sunday, the sun is shining, Millie is asleep, Josh and George are watching Tarzan on DVD, Janine is making home made Caneloni and Lasagne, and I am, obviously, writing this. However, I have just husked three coconuts, which now sit proudly on the kitchen window awaiting drinking and eating. More chest beating on my part! If I ever get shipped wrecked ala Tom Hanks in Castaway, at least I'll know how to survive...as long as I can find a long sharp steel bar!
Church this morning with Josh. The singing is inspiring and so uplifting. They have a live band and a wonderful choir. I might try and take my iPod next week and record it. The sermon was on loving thy neighbour and the priest mentioned how children can drive their parents up the wall. I hope Josh was listening!
Now having the the internet we have been skyping family in NZ and Australia which is fantastic. Even though we have Broadband the speed drops down to dial up speed between the hours of 7 - 5 Mon - Fri to cater for the business demand. We are happy to take what we can get!
Big rugby league day at the park over our back fence yesterday. We came home from town to find people in our yard watching the footy, trying to avoid paying the entrance fee. We shooed them off but had a whole family turn up a short time later, which we had to do the same to. Of course they all claimed to be relatives of the owner - seems everyone is related here - but we replied that since we were paying rent we had the right to ask them to leave. The landlords had said just that anyway. We thought we could charge them maybe!?
Janine has a job interview tomorrow (Monday) so fingers crossed for that!
Later this afternoon we off to the airport to watch the 'big' Air New Zealand flight come in. The setting is similar to Wellington's airport so we'll wait on the sea wall and watch it go overhead - it's the small things that mean so much here!
kia manuia to all, remember, we're on Skype so look us up!

He he yes husking coconuts has left you a little (coco) nutty! All man proud! The issue is you have husked them well but what about opening one? And I would like to add the silly idea to home made pasta in 30+ degree heat was not the best I have had in a while.... Maybe we could just drink coconut juice for a week see what that diet is like??!!!
