Broadband - Finally

Wow we have broadband! i blame it all on Jase! We speant Xmas with Mel and Jase in Auckland and he has broadband, and even better he has wireless broadband, well we got back and I had convinced Ralf it was a good idea, so now we have broadband and both laptops have wireless!!! Fantastic!!!!

While in Auckland we went to the Zoo which was fantastic, we spent the whole day there just looking around, there certainly are a lot of exhibits. I even went and sore the horrible big hairy spider!

We also went to Kelly Tarlton's which was overated and very expensive for what it was, not that seeing the Penguins was not cool.

Then we spent a day at Ralf's Aunty and Uncles place north of Auckland in a little place called Leigh. Beautiful place, went swimming in the sea and had a fabulous lunch. And of course Mel and I had to do some shopping and some more shopping.

One day Jade, Mel and I went to the movies and Jase and Ralf went and played golf. Apparently it was a very hilly course!

Second week of the holidays Ralf's sister Tania who lives in England came to stay with us for a few days so that was really cool. We had only seen her about 9 months before that, but it is always great to see her. Such a nice lady!

Had a fantastic new years eve. Deb, Nat and Gundi came out, we had a BBQ and watched Ralf and Gundi get very drunk! Funny! Got to bed around 2am after many a game of poker!

Jade is now in Dunedin with my Mum having a 3 week holiday, so loving that. They are in Tarras this week camping which we are very jealous of. So we have decided we are going to go camping for Xmas for this year, yes to Tarras as well.

Ralf and I are also going to go camping on the long weekend which is not this weekend but the next, thought we could have a romatic time away in the tent! Ralf stipulated we had to stay near the sea, as he is obsessed with catching a fish. So I have found a site, about an hour from here I think, not sure whether we will go for 1 or 2 nights, will depend on the weather no doubt, I have to e-mail them tonight to see what the deal is, whether we have to book or not.

Hopefully some scrapbooking this weekend, I will have to ring Miss Jo and see what she thinks, although I checked out what they had planned with Bruce when he dropped off some wire etc to work yesterday, and he said there was nothing on the agenda, so I am sure it will be all on.

Anway know this is short and sweet but, time for bed!
