Wellywood Reporting In
Well it seems so quiet here after all the rush and bustle to get Milky off to the Blighty. Her things that had reached Wellywood are just about all stored away carefully – as Mums do cleaned the pictures and wrapped them carefully in bubble wrap etc. Things washed that got wet in the car on the way down when the boot leaked. The other goods one of my dear friends was bringing down from Hammers have had a stop off in Te Aroha and will be stored there for a couple of months until they reach Wellywood, so its all good.
Darsha (the beloved grandcat) and I have come to a sort of arrangement about who is in charge in the household and by mutual agreement we have gone for a 50/50 arrangement. I’m not too chuffed at being woken at midnight because she is bored and wants to play but a night spent in the conservatory (not by me) sorted that little number out. So the bean bag sitting beside the heater has now become popular and Darsha is rather pleased to have the run of the house during the day. Well Winter seems to have hit the capital city with lightening speed so why would she want to be outside much? Oh yes that to get Milky's Dad to come over and make Darsha a wooden step so she could get in and out the cat door easier - well she isn't a young lady you know!.
Super 12 pics were rather dismal last week and yes D-Man I noticed how the placings were – even Bloo managed mega points. So this week some serious thought is going into the pics.
The Shakers were dismal (that the Wellywood team playing netball in the National Bank Cup) went to watch them play the Force on Friday night. Great atmosphere and yet I did get those National Bank green thingees that are very ingenious and you blow them up and bang them together (I can see this is going to draw a few comments – however moving right along) and they make heaps of noise in the stadium. So that was some good amusement.
Work – well work is work and a necessary evil.
Off down to the south island, Timaru to be exact, for the weekend for my brothers birthday then up to north of the Bombay hills (I think the town is called Auckland) for the Board meeting next week. So Darsha has to go stay at the cattery. Checked it out the day Milky left (as per instructions). Its in the country, has a very large cat lounge with a pretty good looking stereo system, nice roomy cages for night time and best of all the farm has cows so Darsha will be quite happy there – I hope.
So its wet and cold and miserable here today and the rain is beating down.
Other than all of the above life is good. No pics to post as its too hard and takes too long and I’m too tired tonight.

Oi, Don't sound so surprised with my Super 12 points. I've always scored consistently.
Bloo, at 3:58 AM
Sounds like Darsha has settled in. I told you there would be a discussion of the house rules as mine are different to yours.
I got a postcard today from Windsor. Wonderful UK Mail service. Its looks like a lovely city.
Yes, I believe that probably is Auckland. But, remember, it has a silent D at the start.
Windsor was lovely for all of the 20 minutes we were there.
