Hi again. All doing pretty well apart from the constipation caused by the anti-nausea pills. I'm soooo hoping it will pass, so as to speak.

We had a nice day yesterday driving to Tauranga and back and checking out the Homeshow down there which was in the Baypark venue we'd like to use next year for our Show. The day was marked by stunningly pleasant weather. Fortunately I had no problems with driving or nausea which I thought may have been a factor in the car.

Had a nice catch-up with Ray & Louisa Schroeder in the afternoon before returning home to a kitchen/family room and back yard which were all crisscrossed by wool, thanks to a certain Wheaten terrier who shall remain nameless! Amazingly, Jeanette has worked her magic on said wool and it is (for the most part) re-balled in the separate colours as originally intended by the manufacturers.

Went to NZ Blood Services today for a vein assessment in preparation for the harvesting of my stem cells in a week or 10 days or so. They were very happy with my level of veinity. I half expected them to cue that dreadful old 70's Carly Simon song and do a kariaoke rendition, but fortunately for me, I suspect both nurses and the Dr were all tone deaf. Small mercies!

More points to ponder...

Do sheep get static cling when they rub against each other?
What if clouds were made of cotton wool?
If laughter is the best medicine, who's the idiot that said "they die laughing"?
Why is vanilla ice cream white, when vanilla extract is brown?

Cheers
