It's Friday Again......



I can't believe both how fast and slowly a week disappears. Here it is Friday again and I'm just getting around to thinking about what I did last weekend before I turn my mind to this.  Last weekend I went with a few friends to stay at Kakanui - that lovely seaside community not far from Oamaru. There's not a lot to do there except relax, walk the beach and generally solve all of life's problems as you do when you have a glass of wine or two with friends.

 we stayed in this cute little crib.  Really cheap at only $45 per night.

I was inspired by Mary Nanas post where she wrote about 10 things that her readers might not know about her. Given that my readership is mainly my family I have been trying to think of 10 things that they may not know about me - Lets see

1. Among other things my favourite foods are currently avocados, olives and feta cheese.
2. While I am happy to drink red wine my first preference is for white.
3.  I really really don't like country music.  Currently I am enjoying a wide range of many genres - especially jazz.
4. Every year I declare I will take a week off work when the film festival comes to town. So far I have not succeeded in that ambition.
5. I nearly always overestimate how much I can fit into one day and my capacity to succeed at tasks I set myself.
6. I never ever cry in movies (but can weep to music or poetry).  This has often given me a reputation of being hard -hearted.
7. I am very good at knowing the meaning of dreams.
8. If I wasn't doing what I am doing now I would like to design beautiful shoes for awkward and ugly feet. 
9. I do not like flying.
10.  I am speed reader.

That's all for now. Have a great week.
