Our friend the frequent flyer


So this weekend we're off down to Patea to stay with our mate Paul for the weekend. We met Paul when we was travelling the UK and we played at the same rugby club, along with Belts and Jobby. We've had a weekend with Belts so now its time for Paul to play host. He shouldn't really be here though, he'd planned to go back to the UK on a visitor visa but was for some reason refused entry, maybe because of his little ginger beard?
The weather has been pretty stinky for about a week now, and loads of snow has been washed off the mountain which isn't good.
Booked our ferry crossing today for our trip down to the south island, sailing 26 October from Wellington which should be good.
Picked up the car from the garage yesterday so now we're $460 worse off. We'd budgeted about $200 for this little service so needless to say we were a bit shocked when the guy told us how much we owed.
Beeen dog-sitting this week for Heidi who has gone down to Christchurch for some pre-deployment training before she goes to Antarctica. He's pretty mellow, but seems more concerned with having an intimate physical relationship with Simon's dog Flint than anything else at the moment, even though they're both boy dogs.
