Happy New Year to You.

And here's a New Year's Salute...

These photos are from New Years Day when a few of us decided to brave Auckland's (not-quite-beach) weather. It did mean that we had a lot of space to ourselves though of course.

On my way to Rangitoto...

Anyway, what else has been happening prior?? - Well, I went down to Christchurch for Christmas. On the flight down I had a great chat to lovely American lady. She has visited all 50 states but this trip to NZ was her very first outside of the USA!

I took my wonderful new Nintendo Wii down and gave many people a demo. And I think everyone either wants or has one now. It was great to catch up with all the mates and whanau back home.

The flight back up to Auckers was interesting. Firstly, a big thumbs down to those people (you know who you are) who can't be bothered reading their seat numbers correctly! I had to shift seats twice to accommodate them - and getting back towards the front of the plane while everyone else is boarding is not only difficult but also makes me look like a diddle. Hardly fair - but well, that's life you know.

Since I've been back I've downloaded and been watching a bunch of Pussycat Doll music videos - they are such a talented bunch - catchy tunes too.

I also bought myself a stunt kite (another wee Xmas prezzie to myself) so I've been flying that a bit when the wind's around. It's great fun and I've been getting pretty good - I can do a fair few different tricks now and I crash it much less than before.

May that wind keep coming. Amen.

All the best for 2007! If ever you need a hand know that you can always count on....

SuperJono!!!
