Oh yeah!

Well its been ages, so here goes...

Winter has been chilly, and we've done our usual "do the basics" approach to life, keeping warm and not over extending ourselves.

Alex's 2nd term at Glen Eden went well, a good report came home. His soccer team has struggled this year, lacking strike power up front (Alex has played a lot of goalie and defence), so not many wins. His drumming continues, and he has signed up for something called "Kiwi Hoops", an introductory thing to basketball (if he gets in to the limited spaces available). We have seen Transformers and Harry potter 6 in the last couple of weeks, which he enjoyed. He's already a quarter of the way through his intermediate years (time flies...). Alex has joined our family tipping comp (Jimungo thing), and is coming first equal with Adrian at the mo!

Jac has finished her Masters, and got a A- in her last paper (hurray!!!!!). so she is returning to earth and looking forward to graduation in August. We plan to take the support crew out for dinner (all the people who helped her over the last 2.5 years).

The Supercity thing still brews at work, I am taking the opportunity (provided at work for free) to do some career counselling, and that is bearing fruit.

Planning for our month long trip to the South Island is well advanced, with a route pretty much decided upon - Wgtn, Kaikoura, Hamner Springs, Chch, Arthurs Pass, Glaciers, Haast, Queenstown area, then back to Chch. Looking forward to staying with Age and with Keef and Becky in Chch. Top 10 holiday parks, here we come !
