hi guys, have to work so as to get some dosh to fund next licencing year, i`m sure we all look forward to that,cheers

Thanks to the Board's bullsh*t and lies I will be living in a caravan up the drive of my work place, away from home,  waiting to be called out, missing my kids grow up, and missing my wife, AND NOW.....preparing a defence for my recent outburst (after 3 years persecution and untold stress) as I am being disciplined by a very prominent organisation for MY "conduct".

After offering no support whatsoever for three years they are now going me for ONE outburst made after seeing my wife and kids crying at the airport AGAIN, been working away now for 18 months since my kangaroo court.

I can't tell you who the organisation is, as they want it all done behind closed doors. Real nice upstanding people.

LOL..... its like something off Harry Potter........ the evil one who shall not be named, 

If only!!  Two days of fine weather meant the vege garden got done!!  And when it rained the wages go loaded ready for Tuesday.   Now the long slog until Christmas...

Thanks About Plumbing for the white strawberry plants!!

Gee - you guys need some r&r proper!

I took my boy bush for the weekend - Te Anau/Manapouri fishing tournament staying in shallow bay fishing the local river mouths and surrounding islands

weather was brilliant sat morn, lake Manapouri was glass - poured down in the afternoon - 10 trout caught for the day, mixture of brown and rainbow, brown bigger (4-5lb) but in poor condition (prob should have been 6-8lb), rainbow smaller (2-3lb) but in very good health - stuggled to get tent up and get a decent fire going and was very wet and cold so was a very early night - before dark!!

weather brilliant sun morn but fishing not so good - 2 fish for the morning - packed up camp lunch time to head back for weigh in @2pm but got caught out when the winds picked up and had to take shelter in a bay on way home - thought we were going to be stuck there for the night but lake eventually settled and managed to make it back to trailer @8 just before dark well and truly missing weigh

was a very quiet sun night - settled with a nice chinese meal before retiring to bed @ crib in Manapouri township for quite possibly the best sleep i have had in a very long time - much overdue!!

very much a pleasant weekend and great to get out throwing a lure around (first time since feb this year!!) eventful as it was enjoyable and a timely reminder of the great things this country has within easy reach for all!!
