"Look!... I come bearing fruit" HA HA HA.... and she did!This was yesterday just after Chris D arrived from Palmerston North.... she was really happy to get here.
TODAY: I do believe we will go..... SHOPPING!!!! For a change you understand! lol
WELL, I do have to show me girlfriend around don't I??? She's DYING to see the shops in Auckland... REALLY.
Poor Stew is slaving away at work again, but I do expect him home fairly early today.
This evening we are going into the City to meet my niece Shelley and her daughter Ashley and spending the night with them, shall hopefully see in the New Year with them too. Shelley is a nurse working in Melbourne and is here on holiday... they are going home on the 2nd.
Right, that's enough for now... got important stuff to do... (shopping)...LATER...

There is no way I have time today to pop around all me blog friends and wish you a Happy New Year... so take it as said OK?
We are back from shopping, didn't buy much of anything... kinda don't NEED anything now! Chris D scored some nice shirts for work... had lunch in Sylvia Park Mall... I ate some dodgy chinese ... kinda feeling a bit ill now! Hope I don't chuck it all up again! Eeeeeeew!
ABOVE: Brylee teasing Teddy... OH LOOK! White dog CAN jump! Not bad for a little dog.
ABOVE: Griffin showing off his 'muscles' to Chris D... what a show off. The kids are having a ball taking dozens of photos with Chris's camera... well it's keeping them happy, and that's the main thing eh?
