1986 mk ii

ok now where were we? thats right Europe! :)  ok on leaving America we headed to England (landed in fog lol)... and then crossed the english channel (from the white cliffs of Dover) and headed to Belgium (or was it France?  where is Calais? cos thats where we took the ferry to haha).  lol i can't remember precisely where we went citywise but we went on a tourbus to several countries... France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland, Austria.  What i noticed about Europe was the beatiful countryside and the fact that heaps of things are really old.... In the Vatician we saw Pope John Paul II and hung around with a dude that hangs with the pope on a regular basis lol.  Went up the Alps in Switzerland up a cablecar and went through the clouds (it was overcast) and ended up in crystal clear blue sky and snow everywhere.... majic.  Europe is an Amazing place and to be honest is leaving the rest of the world behind not necessarly with technology but with sustainability.  Lots of places in Europe rank the lowest in the world in regards to CO2 emmisions... especially in the western world.  Places like Sweden and Norway have the highest living standard in the world.... the vikings definately know how to run a country.

Anyway after Europe we stopped off at Singapore en route to NZ.  Singapore is another one of those super rich nations (like Ireland, Luxembourg, UAE etc) and when there we found it had the heat of hong kong and the cleanliness of Japan... immaculate.  One more stop on the way to NZ was Perth (airport lol).  Don't remember much there but were there for several hours.... apparantly it was 9pm, temp was 33C, but what i do know is that i wanna return there one day cos the place kicks ass for kitesurfing (well thats what i've been reading anyway :) ).

Anyway after Perth we went to chch (back in NZ now) and then to akl and stoked to be home for christmas woop woop

BUSY BUSY BUSY but great timing

Well it looks like im staying in Howick now.  Since my last post there has been issues with another Howick postie... but for a different reason and nothing to do with work.  there are two quotes which ring true in my mind at da mo... both relating to arguing.... i hate argueing... its a gross waste of time and energy... time and energy which i dont have at da mo.  I will also only argue my point if i think there is hope in resolving a crisis... and this latest crisis is beyond help imo.  It definately doesnt need my input anyway... and now that im run off my feet at work with day after day of 3pm finishes (used to finish at midday) i see no need to flog a dead horse... id rather just watch it decompose... ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Currently experiencing issues with my internet... changed over to a different net company and whilst the connection itself is working well... my laptop doesnt seem to be towing the line so im on my Vodem which at my place has bad rec...

Jaxx 40th

yes it finally being written up haha... here it is. All fears of any flashpoints between me and Eva were quickly put to rest as we both got along well for setting up the balloons etc.... but i was basically in my "i'm a male i'm there to EAT" state. i had no intention at all of dancing... well the rest is history really as i DID dance. I did manage to get down to 80kgs for the party as i had hoped to do... anyway rolled up to Skots place with Stipe and stoked the male psyche by talking about food and metal whilst watching MMA cage fighting on the tele.  The 5 of us then piled into my car... me, David, Stipe, Skot and Duff... i was the only one under 100kgs... our total weight was over half a ton lols but white lightning was up to da task. Once at da CNB however i put on my more girly state (similiar to what i was like in 2008 and 2009)... danced, posed and even kissed Jaxx under the kissing bell.  Lots of alcohol was drunk but i didn't drink.  quite funny as...

HOLIDAYS

I'm in the middle of my longest break from work since i started at nzp.  it's goin well btw and i've had LOTS of sleep hahaha.  as for a genuine holiday (ie when it's just ME that's not working) i dunno yet.  i didn't put in for holidays during may but at da mo i'm not fussed.  My entitlement starts in August but remember that i do plan on having a month in OZ next Jan.... of course that may not occur.  i will be taking holidays as i'm entitled to them however as i don't want to have anything owing to me in view of what happened with maccas and the fiasco surrounding that.
