Chairs!

Sometime ago I committed, via blog, to doing up a hideous chair I got on Trade Me. As these things go, it hasn't happened, in fact we grew sort of fond of the mint leather and the mahogany wood.

Random shit

• Oldest child is 7 now. Middle child is starting school soon. Baby is gorgeous.
• I feel like this is a confessional. I read all the Twilight books. They were shit, but I don't regret reading them, I don't watch rubbish telly, so clearly I read rubbish books to fill that bit of my brain.
• I now suspect quite a few people of being vampires.
• There are fireworks in Petone on Saturday, they're really worth coming to see.
• I finally got an iphone. My descent into rampant consumerism is complete.
• I need to be really productive now, to justify aforementioned phone. I feel a new business brewing, after all, it has been over a year since the last one. Someone stop me now.
