The beginning of the end …

28 Feb

February is over and I am glad. Mainly because I don’t have to see this :

Creepy Saint by Da Vinci

every morning in my kitchen. Because, Hi Da Vinci? I love you but that guy is Scary.

March 2007 also means the beginning of the end. By the end of this month Craig and I will have our little home dismantled and we will be living out of bags and boxes at my parents house, all in preparation for our trip to London.

All the tickets are booked and paid for, our places are booked on our Intrepid tour and I am caught between excited and terrified (I think this is best. Terrified means I end up prepared and Excited means I am … well, Excited).

It’s the beginning of the end. And I make lists and count days.

Days to go
Dream closes 2 days
Moving out 29 days
Finishing work 43 days (approx)
Leaving Wellington 60 days
Leaving New Zealand 67 days
Arriving Bangkok 81 days
Arriving London 100 days

Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll … and Zimmerframes

13 Feb

Last night, in my driveway, I co-choreographed a dance with zimmerframes.
It was perhaps one of the most surreal moments of my life to have the perhaps-less-than-completely-sane man from across the street peer at us like we were crazy.

The Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe is staging their annual Bard in the Yard and this year it is :

Reason 8546 I love my husband

8 Feb

He understands that sometimes, despite being completely skint, I need a Cactus.

Alien Cactus

I think it might be Titanopsis schwantesii. But what do I know?

Just as I fell hard for the alien pylons stalking across the plains around the Desert Rd, I have fallen for the tongue-pads that this cactus has instead of spines.

And Darling-Dear Craig understood that, and bought my tiny little three-dollar love for me even though we only went in to get weed killer.
