See! You learn things on my blog – now you can count to five in Maori. You can practice while reading about 5 things that I noticed this week
1. Tahi
I noticed that there is a new current affairs-panel-comedy show Friday nights. I watched it…..and oh how I laughed!
I watch the 6pm news every night and usually the 10.30pm edition just for good measure, so 7 Days, hosted by Jeremy Corbett is right up my alley (as any good kiwi would say). Basically it is a re-hash of the news of the week in comedic form and it involves two teams playing games to win points. For what? Not sure, but I sure did like it. Watch the first episode here
2. Rua
I noticed that 1-day deals had some cute Gallaz Trainers on sale this week for $29.99……so I bought some. I am super happy with them, love the retro colours and the black patent leather detail.
3. Toru
I noticed that there are always the most awesome news headlines in New Zealand. Actually I noticed this a while ago when the lead story on the 6pm news was “Man wielding large stick holds police at bay for 3 hours!” Anywho, New Zealanders learned more about Tongan cuisine this week than they probably ever wanted to know when this news story grabbed the headlines;
Barbecued dog OK if it’s killed humanely
Yes, that’s right, just so we’re clear, it’s all about how you kill your dog before you eat it. I hope we didn’t eat any Shi Tzu’s when we were in Tonga!
4. Wha
On his way to kindy one morning, Ethan noticed one lonely wildflower growing on a steep bank near our house. He pointed it out to his Daddy and said that his Mama would love that flower. Dave agreed that I would indeed love that flower. Four hours later we pulled into our road and Ethan screamed at me to stop the car. He scrambled up this steep-ass hill and picked this flower, the likes of which I have never seen before and proudly presented it to me with muddy hands, knees and shoes. “I saw this flower this morning and knew I was going to pick it for you, do you love it?” He is the sweetest, grubbiest little darling and I did love the flower very much. He held it for me as I drove home and quickly told me not to sniff it as it smelled like bums! Bless
5. Rima
I was needing a Coke Zero this week after swimming. Not just a regular can or small bottle, but a big one. With ice please. We were right by Wendy’s so I stopped in……look what they had for me! This may highlight my inexperience at fast food restaurants in New Zealand, but I had no idea that there were drinks this big here! I haven’t had a big cup’o badness like this since I lived in Florida. It was fantastic, and it lasted for about three hours before I began grinding my teeth and tipped the rest down the drain.
