Soooooooooooo Slack..

Okay, okay - so everyone that I've seen recently has been telling me off for being so slack with my blog. I have some really good excuses though - honestly. First of all at the end of Jan through to the 1st week in Feb, John & I went down to Dunedin to see the surgeon, an awesome Professor from Otago University who finally found out part of what is wrong to which I had surgery 3 weeks ago. Between the 2 events, I got really, really really sick, we've got a major drought on the farm so I've had to put up with gool 'ol stresshead, I kinda got attacked by all of my friends on Facebook which becomes obsessional, and on top of it all, 3 of us - myself, Anne White & Natalie Pompey are organising 2 big events this year. 1 is Putaruru Think Pink Partay on Saturday October 18th and then we go into Movember finishing with Movember 80's on 27th November. We have 2 blogs running for them both and you can check them out here for Think Pink and here for Movember. Between me having surgery number 9, Nat having a brain tumor and Anne having 6 kids, we can push on the guilt factor to raise more money for the charities - lol..... Keep an eye out for the artworks that we'll be auctioning off.

I'm just about to rope the kids into helping me finish off the craft room, though I'm trying to get John to build a new American style barn for the "farm" so I can claim the entire upstairs but he doesn't seem to be falling for it at the moment, but I'm sure that I'll be able to work my magic.

I still keep looking for ideas for my soon to be studio, even if the said studio is still in a pamphlet amongst farming papers, but I'll have to ask him the question, can a farm really have too many barns, especially when you're short of storage and you want to get your wifes "crap" out of the house....

Tom's bloody deaf again - even with the grommets in, nobody could believe it last week at his hearing test, so we're back to basics again there.

2 weeks ago, John took both boys on school camp - the week after my surgery - which was bliss, even if very quiet. Everything that I had planned was put on the back burner as I weas too sick to do anything, then they came back, they all had dhelli belly, so within 2 hours of them arriving home, I was wishing them gone again - lol...

As you can see, the perfect excuses.............................
