Urban agriculture. The neighbours have a flock of chickens, roosters and other loud farm animals. Plus, there is a cattle pasture just over the hill behind the school. Look! There's a CHICKEN at the bloody bus stop!

I am so freakin' tired of winter and the cool, rainy, miserable days it brings. It has been an entire year since I have last resided in the "summer season". I may have forgotten how to operate in such sunny, beautiful weather.
No worries though, the Nana's I speak with at work often invite me to their south-island homes; often saying "oh you've got my contact information in front of you, just take me number and give me a ring when you pop down for a wee visit". Sure thing Mrs. Webster.
Doing my weekly shop @ the supermarket - I shop the American way still - I stumbled across Wilbur (minus Wilbur's body).
So I made Roast Pig's Head:
I beg you a pardon?! I ate salad for like 2 solid days! Then I craved me some bacon.
All that [make-believe] fancy cookin' reminds me that I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...
...dreaming those white caps in the ocean will be mighty big. Christmas items have popped up in some of the stores already. I forgot it was the 12 weeks of Christmas. Maybe I should make some roast pigs head.
In U.S. news...

Why is there an anvil in that condom?? And what looks like a ladies dress?? And why do you call them 'Nana's??' I know, too many questions. Glad that you updated the blog. I was beginning to worry.

The British call 'em Nannas so the Kiwis do to? Only answer I can come up with :-) American English vs British English. I'd also like to know why American's spell it 'practice' but the Brits seem to use practise; and how we use cooperate and they use co-operate. I always assumed English is English. And when you're reading it aloud as 'realisable' when I accustomed to 'realizable' I get a wee bit of verbal diarrhea coming out.
DeleteKiwis like to place things in inappropriate places - that's why there is an anvil in that there condom!
The sun has come out so I've become occupied with the beach bum scene....it gets to be very stressful ;)
Yay! Another update!
