The opening ceremonies for the Rugby World Cup 2011 are underway. I'm not into rugby but it's been fun to see the hype as people at work get excited, and the opening ceremonies are impressive. The 20-strong Maori wakas representing several Iwi (tribes) paddling into the harbour was neat. Waka are beautifully artistic, carved and painted with ( Read more... )

I hope everyone remembers the great show/party tonight & not the public transport fail ... rather glad I was still too sick to get out in it .... or maybe am getting a tad old :)

I read about the transport problems after I posted, shocking but not surprising sadly. How many test matches did they have to get it right before today?? I feel for the people who I heard on Campbell Live who were stuck on the Newmarket viaduct for an hour in a hot car--our car last week had a malfunctioning air/heater unit and it felt like the heater was on full bore. It was really hot and I didn't realise how bad it was until they made us get off at Newmarket and switch cars. WOW ( ... )

Yeah, got an unknown chest infection, chest x-ray came back clear .... some am antibiotics to see if it kicks it ..... still kicking me but not as much as earlier in the week

I think you will be very lucky to find anything as the shortage is worldwide ..... think like most of us you will be shifting for a couple of months .....be nice if this made Pharmac reconsider subsidising Reardon (??) nice to have 1 jab every 10 weeks but not worth it for $300

Yep, I suspect that would be the case but can hope that the pharmacy hasn't run through their stock yet?? (Yeah right!).

Bummer about the chest infection. The flu this year is really horrible. I've still got my congestion from the end of July, I've got a friend who has ended up with an infection from it and another 2 friends whose husbands have both had it knock them out completely for about a month. Take care of yourself hey?
