Here is me in the sun.

I forgot one thing for my list.

NZ only has dial up internet and it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkksssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss big time.

Things I have forgotten about NZ

My Mum’s nice to me a lot and when she hasn’t seen you for 18 months doesn’t make you do housework and buys you expensive biscuits.

Auckland is humid but the water is softer so my hair is nicer and easier to style.

My friends are funny.

Big sunglasses will get you nocvitce in small towns and not in a good way.

People are very friendly and say hello a lot it makes me uncomfortable I really prefer to be left alone.

You don’t have to watch your handbag at all times in case it is stolen, likewise you can talk on your mobile phone and it not get nicked out of your hand.

The sun burns, burns burns, like a burning ring of fire.

Jamie hates the heat and isn’t afraid to let me know.

Swimming in the sea wreaks havoc with my hair and I never look as good in a bikini as I would like.

People don’t swear at you in the street and I have only been asked for money once buy someone who wanted some smokes. Didn’t give it to her I grew up here I know how much the dole is!

I can drive! No need for public transport. I had to take a taxi the other day and my Mum was sure it would cost me $100. It didn’t it only cost me $31.00

My sister and I tucking into a yummy desert at my Mum's birthday. It was chocolate meringue with hazelnuts and it was delicious. As you can see I still haven't learnt how to rotate photos yet and my Mum only had dial up (damn New Zealand) so it is taking an age to upload these photos.

Jamie with our friend Marlon having a chat. You will notice we are drinking half pints that is because no bar in Auckland serves full pints. It is a sin and they charge the same for a half pint of beer what you would pay in london for a full pint. When will Auckland move out of the dark ages and into the year 2007?

Right more stuff to follow but I can not stress how slow my Mum's computer is and how long it has taken me to upload these photos so you might be lucky. xxx

some pictures for my neighbours fans in London

It's Karl with a beard! In this scence they were discussing the fate of Karl's new chciken. It does not look good for the hen. might be chicken stew for dinner tonight.
