Because reading for pleasure has sadly been replaced with ‘reading for a boring accounting degree’ in the last two years, I embraced my new Part-Time Student status with reckless abandon and checked out three novels from the library yesterday. I have two weeks off before the semester …
We had a working bee at Mum and Dads on Good Friday and helped spread the dumptruck-load of mulch through the orchard. When we arrived the Easter Bunny aka Nana, had just been and dropped off a sweet stash of easter eggs and awesome goodies;
One of my favourite shopping sites 1-day deals launched a new site today called 1-day tees offering short run t-shirts in cool designs. As part of the launch they gave away 200 FREE tees to the first lot of F5/refresh master-punters. I got two of course, one for Dave and I, yay! Had to pay a measly $2.99 shipping – not a bad price for 2 tees don’t you think? Thanks 1-daytees!
Finally! Ethan’s hair is trimmed and I can see his sweet little ears again. The Barber was awesome, obviously an old pro, Ethan sat as still as a statue the whole time and thought that being squirted with the air compressor at the end to …

Lou had a close call this week. His fur grows like a weed, and being recessionary times I figured that surely I could give him a trim myself rather than pay $50 for a trip to the groomers? Yeah-no. Seeing as how I don’t own a set of dog clippers I took to my poor Shi-Tzu with scissors, his flank very quickly began to look terraced like I was trying to cut rice-paddy fields into his fur or something. Quickly realizing the error of my ways, I bundled Ethan and Lou into the car and rushed to our dog groomer. She was busy, and fully booked until after Easter. Obviously Louie couldn’t be seen out in public looking like he’d been attacked by one of the Torbay crazies. With no other option and after a few harried phone calls, Debbie told me that the Nose-to-Tail dog salon hires clippers for $15. I was taking Lou’s luscious locks into my own hands again. Luckily it all worked out well and Lou looks like a million bucks. It took me an hour and a half, but hey $15 = bargain.
a trip to the barber this morning. Dave has gone fishing so I am all alone…..with Ethan…..who thinks The Barber is going to hurt him. It has to be done though. It wasn’t intentional but my boy is sporting a rather convincing bowl cut. I …
The answer is Molly, Marley, Louie, Ethan, Dave and I. We took the pups out to Muriwai last weekend for lunch on the beach to lament the end of daylight saving and to celebrate the fact that dogs can go on the beach all day …
