home from work today

I got sent home from work today for being sick so I'm just time wasting now cos I'm not sick enough to be in bed anymore. I hate being sick its so not worth having a day (two actually plus the weekend) off work if I'm stuck inside feeling crappy!!! grr hope I feel better tomo!!

We went to Invercargill last weekend it was pretty cool. Actually it was sunny and really hot, surprisingly (on the Saturday at least)!!! Even made Gore seem like a nice place, no offense to Gore. If you're ever in Invercargill go to the ZooKeeper cafe, its pretty hard to miss it has a big Elephant on the roof (which is why i insisted we go there), the food was really great and our waiter was wearing overalls!! cool wee place!

We went to look at more lighthouses that Jeremy's Grandad was a light house keeper at. We saw Dog Island from the lookout at Bluff, man that's a windswept place if there ever was one!!! And we drove down to Waipapa Point to look at the other one! Waipapa Point is just down the road from Slope Point which is the southern most part of the South Island!! We didn't go there cos it was cold and windy by then.

We drove back up through the Catlins which was really nice, we had only been to the top bit of the catlins before (well Jeremy had, I'd been there with Mum last year). We stoped at Curio Bay with all the fossilised trees, really amazing! and we walked up to the Mclean (or Mclennan??) falls which were beautiful, unfortunatly we forgot the camera on that walk cos they were way better than we expected and very cool.

Another random eating place that was really good was the wee cafe at start of the Mclennen Falls road. Its really flash inside and the food looked really yum (we only had coffee) it was very unexpected being in the middle of nowhere!!!

We also went to the cathedral Caves which were cool too!! They were actually quite scary cos it was dark, (not that I'm scared of the dark but...) and the tide was coming in. Pretty amazing big caves and two that join together, hence the dark!!!

Posting update

Well so we've been a bit slack on the posting lately. I think its mainly because we don't think we've done anything worthy of posting up here. But the point of this blog was to post stuff whether or not its exciting stuff or mindless blather.

So onto the mindless blather....

A while back Gem made these totally awesome chocolate moosse cone thingy which were made of white chocolate and filled with morobar/nougat moosse. They looked and tasted like they came from a restaurant.

Last weekend we headed up to Christchurch to see Crowded House. It was super fantastic. Supergroove was one of the supporting acts and they were pumping full of energy and jumping round the stage and being very entertaining. I was of course hanging out for "Can't get Enough" and "You gotta know" but it surprised me how many other songs that I knew and loved but didn't know were Supergroove. Crowded House were awesome and they got the crowd singing along to all of their old songs (the crowd actually sounded not bad). I really really enjoyed and am so glad that I was able to see them live.

Also went to a costume party at Meredith's and the highlight really was that Gemma went dressed as a Rubix cube. I'll try and dig up a photo of it once I locate the camera.

As for other news there isn't really much to report. I'm just sitting here trying to learn to play "Blister in the sun" on my guitar and enjoying the saturday morning.

So with that I'll leave you and hopefully I will blog a bit more often.
