Well, I can't weigh in today, but I am able to get online!
First day in what I fondly call "Six finger country". I'm sure there's an equivalent in the US... South island. Heh. South Islanders call it the 'mainland' and threaten to 'cut the cable' (most of our electricity used to come from South Island rivers and there is or was a huge cable running through Cook Strait to the north island supplying power.
Anyway my point is I'm allowed to be racist against south islanders. Also mum's side of the family is from down here.
I've spent my first morning cleaning for a friend who has lost his mother. I feel awful for him, she was a real gem and he looked after her through everything. This is literally my oldest friend, from childhood.
And I have another darling friend who's just had a baby, who I will get to see and play with... and uncles and aunties galore.
:) It's nice to get out of my own space.
