are totally behind us again. The weather has been a bit nuts in NZ this year and the weather reporters/forecasters are promising better weather for February (Which has always been a nice month in NZ).
Oh by the way I have grown my first pumpkin (pulled out of the garden last week) and also my first tomato (an acid free one - they taste nicer than the normal ones). Looks like there are more pumpkins, acid free tomatoes and cherry tomatoes to come.

My sweetie is very intelligent.... He has made an excellent website ready to go .... he sayes not yet finished though. www.oddjobsnz.com
Very New Zealand friendly and I've not seen anything that can beat being able to advertise for free for jobs where you would not normal know where to go to find someone to do the job. And being able to find jobs that you might be able to do for work.
Excellent.
p.s. weigh in day again yesterday 123 pounds

Happy New Years everyone :-)
Well its the second day of the New Year.
We (Richard and I) spent New Years with Lisa and Blair, got to see the fireworks from Sky Tower, had drinks and dinner at the Hotel (The Copthorne Hotel on the waterfront in the City) we stayed at. (Dinner was very nice indeed).
My goals for this year -
Save money (pay off credit card)
Exercise as a norm
Not have to count calories anymore
To be/feel more confident, and to try to strengthen my memory

Some questions for the universe...
Why in so many space programmes people from other worlds speak english?
Why do people fight each other in the name of religion when in all religions there is a rule that has an equivalent to "Love thy neighbour"?
e.g. (from Wikipedia) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethic_of_reciprocity#Hinduism
Hinduism
"This is the sum of the Dharma: Do naught unto others which would cause you pain if done to you" (Mahabharata 5:15:17)
Sikhism
"As you see yourself, see others as well; only then will you become a partner in heaven." Bhagat Kabir GGS 480
Buddhism
"Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful." (Udana-Varga 5:18)
Judaism
"Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD." Leviticus 19:18
Christianity
“Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 19:19; Matthew 22:39) (Mark 12:31) (Luke 10:27) (Romans 13:9) (James 2:8)
Islam
"No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself." (Sunnah. Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi 13)
Confucianism
"What you do not wish upon yourself, extend not to others."
-- Analects of Confucius, Chapter 15, Verse 3 [1], c. 500 B.C
Bahá'í
“Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not. Blessed is he who prefers his brother before himself” Baha’u’llah Tablets of Baha’u’llah 6.71

Half way through the first week of my 2 week holiday
My hope to have a relaxing holiday is slowly getting there, there have been a few hiccups though, including the weather not wanting to play ball. Have painted a bit more of the fence, and I am presently relaxing in house instead of getting burnt.
