I can't believe it, the Ants are back....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh

Mmmm.

Was getting ready for winter. Guess I'm not the only one. 

DAMMIT!

On the bright side...

Picked fresh chillies, did not pick 'matoes... Could not summon the energy. Drilled to install the three heaters where they should be now that Dan and Zara have sorted my electricity. 

Now beware, my kitchen is heavily guarded. Yes by Rabbid and The Russian Mummy. 

 Put up all the curtains for winter. Strung Rachel's carambollas. 

Then I moved back to my room. Which meant had to go visit the tiny flowers that lives in the cupboard while transferring back me clothes and sweet talk the drangonflies into a circle... 

Not sure where the keys, the monkeys, the pegs and the death star in technicolor belong...

Anyone can play guitar...

Remember the four dudes on the running machine?
Taking you for a ride.

Hamilton Gardens

I did no justice to the Hamilton Gardens, so slip your jandals on, Mano's taking you. He took most of the pics below. The Gardens are a collection of themed garden, Japanese, Roman, Indian, Chinese. It is a really cool day out. We stopped on our way back from Northland.
About time I'll show you these pics...
Mano's favourite garden is the Indian one because it has so much colors.

Rose

All I'll remember will be your bright smile, in between your princess and your Prince.

Hope you're seeing the stars from above, like you brought them to us.

Promesses...

Saturday under the storm

Yihaaaa!  Spent the last two weeks like a zombie, but submitted an abstract.

In case you're wondering, zombies activities are: 

• not actually work on what I was supposed to do. (mmm doesn't sound that good, that's a problem for future me...now that I have bought more winner lyophilised coffee...).
• play with "R" an open source software equivalent to Matlab. Remember that sensation when you switch from the baby pool to the deep one? Yep. But cool graphing utilities. I'm plotting "silhouette" plots, so I feel like I spent my Friday eating low fat yoghurt from that French ad... My evil zombie plan is to no absolutely never understand mutlivariate statistics, but look like I do.
• at the same time, also undertaken another training (groundwater modelling). Hey where's the fun when you're only doing undergoing one Genesis at a time. Conny is teaming on that one.
• painting your bedroom (where Rachel worked so hard to pull the wall paper). am down to two walls and some tidying up to do tomorrow. But that's it. Got the colour of the living room at the mo. 
• start re-watch "les chevaliers du zodiaque" parce que Mano quand il pose pour les photos on dirait Hyoga qui fait el cygne... nan, ca ca se traduit pas. Mano adore. Forcement on en a deja avale 8 episodes en une soiree...

Te Manaroa Spring

This spring comes out at... 100 deg C.

Someone HAD to engineer a series of platform so people could bathe there.
