I'd be sympathetic, honestly I would, if it weren't so damned hot here.
32, according to our thermometer. Nor'west hair-dryer going full-bore. Kids desperate to go swimming. Parents desperate to watch cricket. We're off to the pool.

Remember to wave a lot, cause we'll be watching on the telly and if I don't see you my suspicions will be roused...

Probably a vanguard standard, my guess, did it run of kero?
Doesn't sound quite right. But I tell you what, you guys tell me, here it is. This is actually driving my mother crazy now I've brought it up.

happily devour more of your mother's travel stories, should you feel inclined to share more
The next PAS book project, perhaps? I'd say talk with Haywood, but you may need a graceful agent..
Heh, I'd been thinking, what would be cool would be a book of stories focusing on ordinary people's stories of the same road, through different periods. No doubt it's been done with very famous roads, but I think it's the ordinary-ness that makes it, somehow.
Apart from the car, I found Emma, you writing about the houseand the other stationary symbols of the childhood journey, evocative, also.
Thanks Stephen. I did ask my mother what make the huge old English car we had when I was little was, but she couldn't remember. We used to call it Hercules, and it could get up our steep snow-covered Taihape driveway no worries.
We couldn't find any photos of the Orari house, but this is the house on Cone Road, at Waitohi. My grandfather is the little boy just to the right of the door. Fred and Sarah raised twelve children in that house, two of whom died in infancy.

And Hadyn, you don't need my advice, and Emma's already given it, but wrap up warm, and make Dom get the beers in.
More advice Haydn doesn't need. After about the third Mexican wave, stop joining in, and start covering your head with your arms to protect it from the beer.

Cheers for that, Hilary, it's lovely.

Of course, as a woman, I clearly know nothing about being a sports fan.
Laughed so hard I scared the heck out of my daughter. According to that guy I should support... Taranaki? Oh, wait, that would make me a boy. But I don't have any sparkly pink shoes. OMG, I must be inter-sexed.

Prepare yourself for a loss.
Or a win. But take a blankie and sit on the sunny side. Before I went to an ODI at the Caketin, I thought Lancaster/Jade/Amy was cold and windy in summer. (It is, but at least there the wind goes through, not round and round.)

So do we (here in NZ) have another series of Tennant yet to be shown?
Yet to be shown, yet to be made. Well, not another 'series', but a bunch of 'special episodes'. I believe Prime is up to date except for the latest Christmas Special.

Randomly picking a thread to derail, we have a new Doctor.
