17th August - The bird is in the air, Roger over!
Well there are a number of announcements to make, most importantly... HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Miss 'My', Miss Amy Louise Price! (Queen of the blue rinses... she'll have it blue!). And also to her freedom in the 'Real' world with her new flat, boy is she in for a rough time after ladying it up at chez 5* Price household. I bet the Jones clan are taking bets on how long it lasts, mine is for the maximum as she is too stubborn to let them win. We also found her shop in Auckland: -
Second announcement is that the chicken has flown the coop. The eagle is airborne. The bird is in the air. Eujabethal Holt is New Zealand bound. And what she doesn't know is that we have a big banner prepared for her on arrival to the sky tower. We have booked her up solid so we hope there isn't any jet-lag or flight complications. Firstly there is the aquarium, then beer, then rugby matches of the All Blacks V the Oz kind, then a dinner for 3 at the sky tower's revolving restaurant 167m in the air, followed by an ice bar made of ice, then a bar where there are mermaids in tanks. So she is in for a treat, especially as we have exhausted all free things waiting for her to get here.
Walking has been a major factor again. As is free-ish things. 100% culture day here in NZ for us, we got to see the Museum with all of its Maori history along with the pacific islands. Sarah also got a picture with a penguin.
Then we went to the art gallery for some objet d'art and paintings and stuff. Proper culture and most of it was a bit poop, but then there were some Picassos that turned it all around again. He's not bad at all.
After that we took a look at some of the waterfront property and bars, all very very nice. This place seems so deserted, the busiest place in NZ and half of it is empty. It is hard to believe that there are only 4 million people in NZ and 1.5 are in Auckland. There is so much space here.
We did go to see some comedy last night, another 10 comedian line up. But this time they were all good, unlike the Americans. Some more so than others, but they all did well, I think it was because they all used jokes, which seemed to be the Americans' downfall.
Well better get ready for the royal arrival tomorrow, I hope she can put up with our weird idosyncrasies we've developed over the 2 months away.
Laters for the moment
Pricey
P.S. Sol Campbell is a great buy, have some of that!
P.P.S Well done Andy Murray for stopping Roger 'the Fed Express??' Federer.
