We were awakened by the telephone this morning at about 0830. Who is this we though as we have recently received a number of calls for Brian and Sheila.
This call was from our son Michael. What a shock. If you have children and grown up son’s you are no doubt aware that they often disappear off the face of the earth for weeks and don’t respond to emails and suddenly they appear when you least expect it to happen. Anyway we were very glad to hear from him.
The TV morning breakfast show is quite good and the male host is often unable to control his laughter and ends up unable to talk. This can be quite amusing. This morning he read out a text message which said pretty much the following.
It would appear to be the anniversary of Bill Clinton’s impeachment today and it would appear that what he really said to Monica was
'Sack the cook and hold my calls'
an easy misunderstanding I think considering his drawl.
Needless to say the host was unable to talk for the next ten minutes. Being 0840 in the morning I guess some parents had some difficult questions to answer.
A little shopping in Coopers Beach followed our usual walk and then we headed of to Kaitaia to resolve the camera card problems. Noel has got some photos from the Gum diggers and others which for some reason cannot be read to the computor. We did not resolve the problem but have bought a new camera memory card and reader and so henceforth there should be no problems, we hope.
We also spent a few minutes buying some mini Christmas presents to go under the tree.
Lunch was a great Ham and Cheese ‘toastie’ sandwich for Noel and something healthier for Jennifer. Of course there was the obligatory ice cream cone on the way back through Awanui before getting back and sorting out dinner.
Noel, with his usual prowess (Oh yes!!) cooked up two T-bone steaks that even Jaimie would have proud off with onions, tomatoes and mushroom and dumped on a salad. Sheer bloody genius.
It was a beautiful evening with the sun setting over the hills.
No more photographs of sunsets please Noel. And thence an evening of stimulating TV we hope.
