  3. very good question, mark!

    i remember fermenting it for weeks as a kid, which seemed wrong to me now. a little bit of goggling suggests a couple of days or so should do it

  4. subby,
    the poke thing is a meaningless fb thing. i suppose it's like saying hello

    sorry about the tooth. that really hurts. can you get it looked at soonish?

  5. That looks like a satisfying list of things done, aside from the dress opinion. I bet it's a fabulous dress really. Picture, picture!

    We recycle as much as possible of our stuff to the four or five local charity shops. It must give them quite lot of cash.

  6. Sounds like a great day to me!

    My list would look like this:

    Browsed Facebook

    Did laundry

    Made a horrible mistake

    Made another horrible mistake

    Lamented the mistakes the rest of the night

    Woke up ashamed of mistake.

    Ick. I should have stuck with facebook and laundry.

  7. ...I did a couple months ago but I've no coverage, as yet. It seems you can't just go get a tooth pulled without a bloomin' credit check! Or a lot of cash...I'm hoping to hold out 'til my new dental kicks in. Will be interesting to see what they really cover....

    Heading over to fb then to bed...zzzzzzz!

  10. Kia ora Kylie,
    I was up pretty much all night with my youngest son as he puked into a bucket beside the bed. He was out in the sun all day running into out of the river and as much as I tried to lather him with sun block it was pretty hopeless. We had fun but I think I gave the little bugger heat stroke! So I have certainly not done anywhere near 10 things today except finally get some of my yummy scrambled eggs into his finally hungry tummy.
    Hope you have a great New Y&ears Eve, and all the finest wishes for a great new year to you and yours. Kia kaha.
    Aroha,
    Robb
