Belated Birthday Wishes Happy Birthday Gem! I second Toni's comments - I'm dead jealous of your adventures in NZ, it makes me want to jack everything in and go travelling! Hopefully speak to you soon, Stacy xx
mobile message sis here. i'm on the phone to mum as i write. mum says happy birthday to gemma- pressie in blackpool! have a grand day! and a great time in the camper. x ps. nice to see your marineland day was sealed with a kiss- aarp aarp!
Thanks for the advice Hey Dave. All this talk about kissing giraffe's and frenching sealions - I'm wondering if you are being affected by the local customs....is it true what they say about the sheep over there (ie they are scared???)
pigs and wetsuits like the names for the pigs but do you know what - theres more chance of them flying off into the sunset with the sundance kid than that wet suit making a comeback!
Disappointedinyou Hey Dave - now that the pruning is over - sounds like a window of opportunity here to earn a few bob.....Maybe you could dig out that wet suit you used to have.....
questions questions Just fascinated to know how many zoo's you have been too...and what is top of your 150 pointless things to do? - writing a list of your top 150 pointless things to do perhaps?? - well strike that one off aswell. By the way - interesting way of stirring a cup of coffee (insert spoon up nose, submerge nose in coffee, rotate, repeat.....Bro.
chicken & prawn curry favour my client accepts you have shown the ingredients of an apology and,on this occasion, is prepared to turn a blind eye (the one you hit with the ball). x
cluckch control i hereby declare that the relatives of the Prawns that 'bought it' at the driving range referred to in previous bloggs, hath duly recommended to the aforementioned chickens that doth cross the aforesaid roads of New Zealand, that i be elected as their spokesperson henceforth. Please don't aim for the chickens (you can tell i've been working on a legal contract all day!).
van-dal submitted a comment about the camper van but now i've subscribed it's giving me error messages- guess the world won't get to see my interesting words x
Knight Out and No Name Check that the Ladies Night is not actually a Laddies Night, and you forgot to name the second sheep in the photo, but like your new nickname "Pixie".
Chicken run!! Gem: Why did the Chicken cross the road?
Nev: I don't know why did the chicken cross the road?
Gem: To give New Zealand Drivers something to aim for!!!!!
Sorry bad joke but anyone who has visited NZ will understand, more jokes next installment.
Shake my tail feathers? Yes I did do the chicken chicken routine but where was John Trovolta???? To those who have no idea what we are talking about, there will not be a demonstration when I return.
Lord of the Attic etc Just red orl yor bloggies from dai 1 two dayt.
Lernt a lotaboutspelin.
thanks for birthday greetings. its 41 unfortunately. Bin to Hell and back. probably did as much pruning in three days as... Will save you some.
Andy coming 4 a beer. Have cake with fork handles.
Like the way you put thermals in N Z top 10 when you had only seen three things. But bet they are still there at the end.
Like the car. White is a reliable colour.
Will get you the video of "Upstairs", "Downstairs" now that you have experiance waiting on. Draining all the empties into a pint pot was always one of the perks of such jobs.
My car wouldnt start after 4 weeks holiday, so charged battery. Only later realised I had forget about the immobiliser. Hired a car on holiday with Air Conditioning. 35 Degrees and it was crap (i.e. awful). Complained when took it back, but apparently i forgot to open air vents. It then workrd brill. Why is teknology so teknicul.
Note you played badders and only two entries. Still, winning must bring back memories.
Love to both, in fact to all.
Keep having fun. Probably too late to say "Dont count your chickens". Do they really cross the road, and, if so, why? Expect an answer.
Parent 1 and 2.
Yeah Baby! Well Dave, what can I say! Austin Powers must be quaking in his boots - your Mojo is well and truly in force with the new look.
It was lovely to hear from you on Friday night Gemma. Didn't mind the hour of calling at all! It's always nice to know your friends are thinking of you (look I'm going all mushy). And it just shows how sad I am that I was home on a Friday night!
I'm hoping you did the old chicken, chicken routine at the 70's night Gemma, otherwise I will be very disappointed. You need to show these New Zealanders how the British girls can shake their tail feather!
Anyway, this is turning from a comment into a full scale letter so I'll b***er off now.
Yeah Baby, Yeah!

magazine cuttings loved these pruning shots so much i sent them off to a magazing called 'pruning weekly' and would you believe it, they've written back to say they want both to be cover shots of two sister publications... Pruning Weakly (pic one) and Pruning Mooning (pic two)- will try and get copies x
Prooooonnnaaagh I recon you're just up at Hellgill - not NZ! - Beware the fruit with the stoney pip and the wrinckly skin - they can play a merry dance with your motions!
pruning Hey dave - I don't know much about pruning - but looking at what's in the background - don't you think you've gone a touch too far with them?? They look like minature telegraph poles (which is curious because the guy next to you looks suspiciously like someone I used to work for in BT......)...Bro.X.
