No news is good news... or something...

Hi everyone, you’re probably wondering why I haven’t updated you all with any fabulous, exciting adventures lately…. That’s ‘cos I haven’t had any recently. It’s been very quiet and I’ve been very well behaved so I have…
The Ireland v All Blacks match was a bit of a disappointment. I went out on the Saturday night and stayed out to watch the match, which started at 3:30am our time, in a pub. I started out in the Holy Grail (‘New Zealand’s biggest sports bar… allegedly), but when me and some other Irish people stood for the National Anthem, we had ice-cubes thrown at us… not very sporting. So I went to Sullivans, an Irish bar, for the second half. It was bright when I left the pub after the match at about 5:30am. It was a very strange feeling.
The weekend just gone was our company Christmas party. It was held in a winery about and hour north of Christchurch. It was a nice night, but I was very disorientated to be in summer clothes when there was a Christmas Tree in the vicinity…. It’s just wrong!

Marian, it's been reeeeeaaalllllly cold here lately so don't knock the sunshine girlie. Watched the rugby game with a few kiwis and was indeed very embarrassed by our performance - never mind.. there's always the six nations/triple crown. Very surprised that ye got ice-cubes thrown at ye tho! If only i had known - i could have done it to the kiwis in our local then :-)
