NAKED MAN?

 Prepare ya eyeballs....

ABOVE:  A naked Stewie.  OR is he?

Nah... he's got his running shorts on, ya just can't see them!  This was last night, before he got on the treadmill.

I was amused that he looked like he was naked.

I finally got the jig saw finished yesterday afternoon... I won't be starting another one for a while!

It was really confusing, cos the box I got it out of had a wedding scene as the 'hint'... but the puzzle had nothing to do with a wedding.

Seems I'd grabbed the wrong box and bag of puzzle pieces.  No wonder it didn't make sense.

Now.  I made a sort of 'resolution' this year, for Stew and I to spend more time together, more time visiting friends and family, and more time travelling (within reason).

So... tomorrow we are going to Taupo and Kinloch.   I have a cousin in Taupo, and an Aunt and Uncle in Kinloch.  We shall be visiting them both, and staying with my Aunt and Uncle in Kinloc on Saturday night.

Today I will spend some time making sure we have all we need to take with us, and getting everything in the house sorted out.

Steve and Bex will be looking after our dogs, which is awesome.

Well... Actually, ARCHER will be looking after the dogs.  His parents will just be supervising. 😉😊

And that's about it for now... so I'll catch ya later.

9.57 am:   Picture this, I'm standing in the wet room, about to have my shower, butt naked. (yeah, there's a bit of nakedness'  going on in this post!)... and me phone rings.

It's the SKY man, he's on his way, should be here in about 5 minutes!  Faaaaark!  I frantically grab some clothes, and make sure I'm 'presentable'.

The guy arrived in like, 2 bloody minutes!

Phew.  Lucky I'm a fast dresser.

And, he finds the problem immediately.  The two Sky boxes were not working together properly.  Seems the guy who set them up a year ago did it wrong.  So now they are working independently of each other, and we should have no more problems.

Stew will be thrilled to bits.  No more interruptions to his sport watching, and I can still watch Coronation Street.

And it is now 10 in the morning and I can finally get in the shower!  

Here is an interesting fact.  Since Brylee left home our power bill has dropped a full $10 a week!  Nothing else has changed, so yeah.  I knew we would find our weekly expenses drop!  

Next thing?  Grocery bill has gone down too.  No more spaghetti bought X's a dozen tins! 

Plus all the other things one buys for a small, but hungry young person.  😃😂😅😆

On Brylee, she is doing exceptionally well doing all her own cooking.  She sends me photos of her dinners, most of them are really healthy!

I am hoping that in a few months she will feel confident enough to move on into a flat with other young people.  She needs to mix and mingle with others her own age.  

2 pm:  And I'm just home from having a lovely lunch with Stew in town.  Our plans for midday changed, so lunch was on the cards after all.

It was nice, expect for the freakin' traffic!  OMG it's nuts out there.  

I hope it's not crazy on the roads tomorrow when we want to go away.

I have had a nice quiet afternoon.  Got the washing in.  Prepared dinner (left overs) and now?  Just gunna chill out for a while before packing our bag for the weekend.
