QUICK POST - LOOK @ LYTTLETON - video - LOVE IN A LITTLE TOWN - James Muir

Love in a Little Town from James Muir on Vimeo.

...*A little film about a little town at the epicentre of a big earthquake. When everything is stripped back by disaster it reveals what is at the heart of a resilient neighbourhood... Its the love, time and energy of its people...*

AWESOME :) 

Love to You Lyttleton!

QUICK POST - Turn My Back for a Moment... 5.3 Wake UP!!!!!

Silly me. The one night this week that I contemplate having a shower before bed instead of watching Scrubs or something equally harmless... and WHAM! Mother Nature chucks a spaz to the value of 5.3 - it rolled and rolled, like you'd turn in bed, you know?.
So, dripping, I stood there surfing the shower tray with my hand on the tap thinking... Its going to stop... its GOING to stop... Maybe its not... I better get out. I got out. Then it stopped. I checked the kids, got back in the shower... AND IT DID IT AGAIN!!!! Good Lord!
So, I figure Im going to have a good nights sleep... cos Shes Done It!... Sleeping Again!
Just went outside to check the surrounds. Its so quiet except for the sirens around the city... No cars even, just the odd swish.
Its very foggy or misty out there. Hope that means by tomorrow Mother Nature has rolled over and cuddled in again... sleep Ms Nature, Sleep!!! Tomorrow we might see The Sun!

Ok, Off I go, in search of Sweet Dreams.
And to You too!
Sleep Tight,
Be Safe

QUICK POST - A PINGU! A PINGU! Muuum, Look!

Emperor Penguin Arrives in Kapiti - Miss 4 thinks this is amazing, and I have to agree... I wonder where he made a wrong turn, and ended up on a New Zealand beach for goodness sake!http://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/5172214/Emperor-penguin-a-long-way-from-home-at-Kapiti
Isnt he beautiful ? We *heart* Penguins in this house...

It started with the Antarctic Centre here in Christchurch - which is an awesome way to introduce kids to Penguins, as they have a live display!
Then, we read about them here... Penguins In the Fridge...by Nicola Moon...
Joe isnt allowed a pet, so he makes some penguins... and puts them in the fridge...
My boys LOVED this book, especially my eldest. He had a pet (stuffed) penguin, that I would often find in the fridge... and this book was a favourite for a long time! It has since fallen to pieces, loved and well read!

Quick Post... A Quote...

Someone just whispered something I need to remember...
What better place, than to put it on my blog?
