Update

Spent a few days up in Hamilton with my sister and the children. It was good to see them, but also very good to be home again. I've gotten very used to my peace and quiet. I slept in my niece's room on a mattress. The first night I was in my niece's bed and she had the mattress. I think I'd only just gotten off to sleep when I heard: "Aunty Jayne, can I sleep with you?" So the two of us shared her bed. Her bed is awfully uncomfortable so I swapped to the mattress. My littlest nephew liked to come in and wake me up. That was okay. The worst thing was, once I was awake he'd push play on my niece's CD player. The first song was Britney Spears. I got up pretty quick when I heard that!

Watched my niece and nephew at rugby practice. Had to laugh - they looked so funny these little 4-6 year olds. Kept hearing: "Don't tackle your own players!" Hee hee! On Saturday they played in a tournament and were runner's up. My niece scored a try, so that was very exciting.

Mum has her own place now, at the back of where my uncle lives. It's small, but plenty big enough for her. I think she'd glad to have her own space again.

It's been so nice being on holiday. I'm not wanting to go back next week. I haven't really done much. I've stumbled upon Neopets and really wish I hadn't. LOL!! It's a terrible time-waster. I have fun playing the games. I've also joined Postcrossing. I've sent 7 postcards off and I'm looking forward to receiving my first one. Sometimes it's such a pain being on the far side of the world. Takes so much longer for things to arrive!

I've done a little writing. I've had some more ideas for the sequel to The Spirit of Christmas, which I've now found a title for. I'm feeling more positive toward the story now. I also have a Mart one that I'm working on. I've suddenly realised that I only have a few weeks before my anniversary, and want something to post.

Yesterday I played all 15 studio albums by The Moody Blues. One after the other. Except for the hour break while I watched Spooks. Now that was a very good episode. Some lovely Harry/Ruth moments. *sigh* Next week is the end of the season. How am I supposed to wait for the next season? I think it's in production. Still have to get around to buying series 3 on DVD. There isn't much I watch on TV anymore. I've gone off Desperate Housewives and Lost. I guess I just need to look forward to whenever we get series 2 of Veronica Mars and Battlestar Galactica. Not that I have any idea when that will be. :(
