Hectic is over!

Suddenly life seems to have settled down slightly. Thank all the gods and demons and vampire slayers.

For the first time in about 4 months I have managed to clean the kitchen and made some dinner. We have been BIG supporters of the new Fish Boys fush n chup shop on Jackson St lately. I heartily recommend them, they're the nicest greasies I've ever had, and strangely addictive. They're down at the desirable eastern end of Petone (I think it is the Mongrel Mob and council flats that really make it).

Of course the sun helps. The children can run around outside, only coming in to have bloody noses wiped and skinned knees tended. I don't think I can do another winter. All that time inside was pretty tough.

And I'm not frightenly busy, which is just grand. I'm not cut out for being a business tycoon, I enjoy my leisure time too much.
