Back to New Zealand!!!

A free trip home, kindly supplied by the NZ courts. Over $2000 for only 3 minutes on the stand testifing. Yeah for me!!! Nic picked me up from the airport and as best friends do, we went shopping. Hit the Mount mall in great fashion. It was so good to see her again. Then,a real girls day, we went to the movie and as usual, laughed, sang and cried thru the whole movie. It was great. But all good things must end, so she headed off to milk the cows. I hadnt slept so i ran a bath(spa bath)and soaked away in that for an hour, put the electric blanket on and crashed out for about 3 hours. Tina, Mike and Sam came for a visit just after i woke, they look great. Sam is such a great kid. Then 2 hours late Max and Tracey turned up, so we jumped in the car and headed out for tea. Caught up with them for about 4 hours, had a ball. Then once again i crashed out. Oh to sleep in a bed, the best invention ever. I had the court case in the morning and then...the best thing happen, you can hear it coming down the road. Yep around the corner came collette's and mine purple convertible vw. Its fantastic, it was the first time i had seen it. So we jumped in, ready to cruise and like the van in oz, the bloody thing didnt start. SHIT! so we headed to a cafe had a drink, by then it had cooled down and we started home in it. We must have been the coolest chicks on the road that day(well we thought we were). I spent 2 days at Collettes, awesome. The girls had a calf,lamb and chicken day at school, so i went and watched that. Tanya got 2 2nd places and Sarah got a ribbon for participation. They had lambs again this year. Mum arrived on Thursday, so of course i made her jump in the vw and once again we hit the road. She likes it but i think was glad to get out of it. ha ha ha. Collette arrived home from work so we all went out for lunch, it was great. Cade works in Rotorua now and he stopped for 10 mins for a catch as well. Laurie couldnt make it, has to rest with the baby and all, only 4 weeks to go. So mum and I headed back to Morrinsville. Mum and Dad look great, they're going to the gym and you can tell. We went for tea at the RSA that night and i saw some friends of the family again. The next day we hit the golf course, I had been waiting for this for a long while. I had the worst game of golf i have ever played, i was very pissed off. Even mum beat me! And dad, well he totally kicked my arse. So we are not talking about that anymore. ha ha ha. Come home and drowned my sorrows with a beer. Dad and I got the shot glasses out i bought for him from Venice and we had a shot of Tequlia. The neighbours came over, and family friends and next thing ya know we were having a session. I woke up the next day not in very good shape. And found out that Dad and I had drunk the whole bottle of Tequlia. So recovery had to start, it was not good. All the neighbours once again came over for tea and we had a big barbie. Ken and Susan called in, they had aunty Leith with them. And Ken was on his new bike, a Sukuki 650 Savage. Made me want to have a ride. I got to see alot of people that i havent seen for a while, it was a good night. Collette and Sarah came over thru the day so i said my farewells to them, Sarah just cuddled me so much. The next day i was off to Auckland, Ramon picked me up. I havent seen him for years, it was so good to catch up. We met up with Blair, only to find out that Ellen and Adam, Sam and Donna, And Kim and Darryll were coming as well. It was fantastic to see them all. Thats the cousins for ya, always full of surprises. Now im off back to Alice. Back to Mike and our little van, cant wait.
