Hi everyone,
Had a good night, thanks for asking. Was feeling a bit peeved about not getting into chat though!! (although I'm not that keen on chat usually). Was made up for by some special conversations in the middle of the night. One of which involved us going to the "Recovery Church" this morning ....... church service specifically aimed at alcoholics and addicts. I'm not particularly religious and it was a bit happy clappy for my taste, but it was something that my brother particularly wanted to do. And I was a bit curious!
Re presents: Oxfam has a good catalogue - assume it is Oz as well as NZ?? Probably Greenpeace does too. And all the 12 year old girls I know love sponsoring endangered species .... but then again all (four of) the 12 year old girls I know come from liberal left wing type families!!!!!!!
The other thing I noticed on the "wish list" of a son of a friend of mine was a CD from a band which has formed from a project run locally for at-risk youth. Maybe something similar in Melbourne??
On the other hand, Uncle Mame's son just loved the Lego red Ferrari I bought him for his 11th birthday this year!!!
Fickle - thanks so much on the info re customs. Think I will take the plunge and give it a go. The NZ$ is not too bad against US$ at the moment, so it is a bit more manageable than I had previously.
I've spent so much time on here for the last couple of days that I'm starting to get a return of my RSI ..... might ease off for a couple of days!
