Another Nephew!

Congratulations to my brother John and his partner Amber, along with big brother William on the birth of Jake. Hes a huge baby at 10lb 6oz. All doing well. He was born on Friday 16th March at a little after 8am.

We had William to stay at our house that night. Hes 2 years, 4 months. It was interesting... He was a good boy though.

Pretty as a picture

I went for a long walk along the beach today. I took this picture with my cell phone. Theres a flock of ducks feeding from something in the little area of water in the middle of the picture. There were alot of them.

The beach looked really beautiful too. The tide was out. It was quite windy though. I just smiled to myself and thought about my laundry blowing on the line.

Wild Hogs

The other day we went and saw this movie. It had a great cast of actors in it. It was very funny. It was weird seeing John Travolta with a middle aged chest!

The Marine

About a month or so I entered a competition to win tickets to the John Cena movie The Marine. I won a double pass. On Friday night we went to see it. It was set in America, yet obviously shot in Australia with a lot of eucalyptus trees in the background. The movie itself was okay. But I'm glad I didn't pay money to see it. We left the cinema with a 'was that it??' kind of feeling.

Nicole's new glasses.

Its official! Nicole needs to wear glasses. Shes significantly short sighted. She has to wear her glasses when shes in class, to watch tv, and basically any time she needs to see distances. They cost $320. I asked the outlaws for help with the cost, they didn't even bother getting back to me with a no. Fuck them. We've been fine without them this long, we don't need them.

Busy, Busy!

A week ago we had a power cut at about 2am Saturday morning. Stewart was using the computer at the time. The next morning we discovered the computer had been fried in a power surge. Took it into the computer shop and they investigated to discover that only the power supply was damaged. Whew! It only cost $180 to fix. I've made a complaint to Trustpower asking them to pay the $180. I think its their responsibility that the power surged like that.

On Saturday Nicole went and stayed at her sister's house whilst Stewart and I drove to Auckland to watch WWE Smackdown Road to Wrestlemania show. It was awesome. We had great seats right on the entrance ramp. I was close enough to touch C. M. Punk! I got a bit pissed off with a lot of other people who stood on their chairs though. I'm terrified of heights and refused to even think about standing on my chair.

I've been at tech for 3 weeks now and are starting to get used to the routine. We have to get up at 6am and be out of the house at about 7.25am because Stewart starts at 8am. On weeks that I work we're not home until 6pm. Its a really long day. I've had one assessment that I've not heard my marks for yet. I have my first major exam on Monday. Its on Legislation. I'm not looking forward to it, but think I've got a pretty good handle on the subject. I just need to find the time tomorrow to spend a couple of hours going over my notes and revising.

Don't mind my rambling, I'm very tired. We've spent 3 hours last night and 6 hours today at a communication course. Then went to the Speedway. Nicole fell asleep on my lap and we left before the final race. Something I'd NEVER normally think of doing.

I'm going to become an Auntie again within the next two or so weeks. My brother John's partner Amber is due with their second son. Exciting stuff. I love other people's baby's, I can give them lots of cuddles and then give them back when they start to cry or need their nappy's changing.
