Headed over the big hill to Masterton in the weekend. It was so sunny over there - not like cloudy old Wellington. Shiny sun. Kids in the car. Off to see their dad. Caught up with Ben and Ang on the way home and checked out their kitchen-supreme and newly painted Persimmon Lounge. They are my DIY heros. Did the usual buy-up of fresh veg and some yummy manuka honey. Blah blah, boring incidentals.
It's nice to get out of Welly - just don't do it often enough. I love to drive the red rover. Can't wait for my trip down south in a couple of weeks. vroom vroom go red rover.
Kicking around home tonight. Should be doing some work - I'm such a slavedriver of a boss to myself. Always making myself work weekends and evenings. I'm a crap boss. Although I did just let myself lay around on the couch watching John Safran vs God on DVD. The final episode devoted to his exorcism was creepy. John was making some scary demon noises. John, I didn't think you were that kind of boy. Anyway, it was a great series. I just hope the next series he makes isn't him teaming up with that freaking exorcist roaming around Australia casting out the devil. But really, he did seem to be taking the casting-out-satan thing a bit seriously. And so did the camera guys.
Okay, on to the work now. Sadly so.

Such dark sand.
Such dark sand in New Zealand. In winter.
All year round, such dark sand.
Yes, but not on all beaches. There are some golden-sanded ones in the far north. Very golden. I don't mind the dark sand. It feels the same between your toes.
Well I'll be damned. Gold sand.
Le puits I sera damné. Sable d'or.
Golden sand, eh?
Golden "coloured" that is. You know what I mean!!!
Bloody pedant.
Four out of five blogs look like busted horseshoe crabs on the beach next to this! Maybe I'll put that on my blog in the future! I've been building websites since 96!!!!
These pool cue carrying bags are the latest from Tony Llama Boots, check 'em out!

I think your pic is just lovely and it makes me want to travel there. Even in the winter. I had tons of white sand growing up in Florida. I want to see the black sand in Hawaai too.
Hey and Rose-take a break-YOU work too much sister!
I guess I just see it as sand. It's the colour of the sand that I grew up with and I guess I've never thought about the fact that it's quite dark. Further up the coast, near Wanganui, there's beaches with iron sand and thar REALLY is black. It absorbs the sun's heat in the summer and becomes impossible to walk on in bare feet.
Hawaii would be cool to visit. Maori people here originally came from Hawaii (or so the theory goes, and there are a few theories).
Yeah Rose-take a break-YOU work too much sister!
Kick back on a Laz-E-Boy chair and take a break!

If I had one, kid, I would. Gotta watch that RLS. It can catch up on ya.
Warm and sunny and nice? Not exposed and blustery and generally irritating?
I'm impressed :P
A reasonably calm day at Otaki - I know. I mean, I wouldn't have wanted to be sunning myself in next-to-nothing, but I didn't need a jacket. When are we doing this lunch Clover? Haven't seen you for ages.
Also, blogspam or not, "busted horseshoe crabs" is an AWESOME metaphor. Which I'm going to steal. If I can get my dick out of this set of coloured contact lenses. LOL
Report suspicious objects or behavior.
Clover, that went over my head. Fights?
Super 8 Motel. Classy joint. Sounds like a cinematic experience.
Super 8 is rather cinematic indeed. Good point.
Stephen, you are rather a comic genius, sire. The bit about the contact lenses. Made me choke on some salt water taffy I was eating.
Report suspicious objects or behavior.

Steve,
I'm not kidding about the taffy.
If you don't believe me, how would I know THIS:
Corn Syrup, Sugar, Hydrogenated Coconut Oil, Butter, Evaporated Milk, Gelatin, Salt, Nut Meats (Almond, Peanut), Molasses, Coconut, Lecithin, Natural and Artificial Flavors and U.S. Certified Food Colors, FD & C Yellow #5 & #6, Red #3 and #40 and Blue #1.
Odd that I'd almost choke on it while reading your comment written above.
Where was I? Oh...click on my handle this time if you're a lover of cinema.

What's the D stand for? Devil or Double? I don't like the sound of that taffy. Bad for the teeth.
I believe it stands for "defiling." Bad for the choppers, right.
Seared Salmon:
Fresh 10/12 oz. Salmon Filet Marinated in Soy Sauce, Fresh Ginger and Wasabi. Seared on the Grill. Served with Vegetable du Jour and Kona Sauce.
Reasons to not eat salmon.
Think salmon is good for your health? Think again.
Bad for the choppers?
Bad for the choppers.
Bad for the choppers.
Bad for the choppers.
That settles it then. I'll have the, uh, red herring. And lemonade. With grens.
I mean greens.
Thanx.

Hello, I like to contact you! My name is Rose,
By my SEARCHING out FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION about work from home business I have found your site.
I was looking out for work from home business related information. Sorry, I have see that your tripping around in the red rover isn't a perfect match. But, anyway, I am glad I have stopped by even though this isn’t a perfect match. What you have in your content is very interesting for most people.
I like to set up a link to you. What you think about?
It does will be a pleasure, if you contact me. Perhaps we have some same ideas. Wish you success with your site.
