Funny how updating this site gets away from me!

Sunday we managed to move all of Sarah's stuff to her new apartment, John was kind enough to lend us his car (with the towball) so I could go and hire a damn massive horsefloat trailer thingy. It was so huge I couldn't even get it around the corner at the top of our drive which made loading up a bit of a pain. We still managed to do it though, then drove on down to my storage locker and retrieved my fridge and my furniture and loaded that up as well.

Driving John's car over the bridge in the wind and the rain was a lot of excitement, driving through town was even worse because John's car is front wheel drive. When you've got a huge heavy trailer on the back and you're taking off from a red light up the hill (it's wet too remember), all the stupid thing wants to do is spin. It took me 20+ seconds to get moving sometimes, with people beeping and swearing at me.

Once we got it all moved in though Sarah's apartment looks much more homely. We spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to put her bed together properly (eventually we got it together) and then went out to dinner with Sarah's Dad and his business partner... to De Post... again!

Yesterday I took my car to the garage to get it looked at, it's been making some unfunky knocking noises from the front the last week or so. The mechcanic looked at it and said it's just the suspension needs looking at, the wheels aren't going to fall off. Then he shocked my by saying he wasn't going to charge me for looking at it! What a nice guy.

Last night was Simon's Birthday, we all met up at Denny's in New Lynn. Denny's let the side down a bit though, when they bought our food out it was all cold so we asked for it to be taken back. They took it back and reheated it, badly. So we asked again for some of it to be redone so they took it back again and finally got it right. Once the meal was over there was a cake for Simon so I happily lead the singing of "Happy Birthday". A little too loudly according to everyone else, but hey I had fun!

And that's all, nothing else exciting. Be good kiddies.

PS: New Zealand won some movie things, or something. Care. They need to shut up about it. It wasn't NZ that won, it was a effing movie. It would have been better if it was made in Australia.
