Kirsty's little blog
My little slice of blog space. Prime real estate is not easy to come past, so I was blessed when this one landed on my lap. No reasonable offer will be refused should someone want to purchase.

Melbourne here I come
Heading over for four days, haven't been back for about 8 years, did I mention I cant wait!
Taking Dave with me, so it is a good opportunity to take him around all my old haunts (although I doubt they will still be there, so we get to make some new old haunts)

Kaitaki Plus
Drove from Nelson to Picton this morning in the pouring rain, and to be honest with the amount of traffic on the road, didnt think it was going to happen.
The upshot is, if you are on the Kaitaki ferry crossing the straight, and the ship is chokka and it is raining so you cant hang outside, the best thing you can do is invest $60 each and get into Kaitaki Plus lounge...free beer and wine and nibbles, internet access (this is how you blog while crossing the straight) and it has seats available!!!!!

Unashamed plug for Picton Accomodation
So here I am, sick and on a mini break traveling our way to Nelson for Dad's wedding, first stop Picton.
Found this B&B on Wotif (an excellent source of accomodation).
McCormick House, a lovely villa in Picton with absolutely wonderful hosts who make you feel like they really have taken you under their wing and into their house.
Beautifully manicured lawns just inviting you to walk around bare feet (felt nervous when we took Rocco for a walk, you didn't think we left him behind did you?)
Jeanne and Carl spent 2 years with no income renovating the place, and the end result is just awesome.
Will definitely stay again.
We stayed in the Palm room...just heaven!

Husband Neglect?
Dozy film-goer left in the dark
The Press Friday, 07 March 2008
A Christchurch man paid the price for dozing off while on a date with his wife last night.
Radio reports say a husband and wife were at the film PS I Love You at Hoyts Cinema in Northlands Mall, when the man nodded off.
His annoyed wife decided not bother to wake him up at the end of the movie and went home alone.
She woke at 3am to discover her husband had still not made it home so rang his cellphone and woke him up.
The man then set off the mall's alarm system when he tried to leave.
Radio said police arrived to find a very embarrassed couple.
A police spokesman said it sounded like a case of "husband neglect'' to him.
A Hoyts Cinemas representative could not be reached for comment.

2008 America's make or break decision
So Hillary/Obama/McCain, and I know you all want to know my thoughts:
First of all, doubtless of how convinced I am that McCain would actually make a good president; America is not ready for another republican at the moment, so that was quick.

NZ is so hot right now!
A wry comedy that chronicles the quirky romance of two awkward misfits, Lily (Loren Horsley), a shy fast-food restaurant cashier, and her crush, Jarrod (Jemaine Clement, HBO’s One Night Stand: the Fight of the Conchords), an electronic store clerk. On the day Lily gets fired from her job at Meaty Boy, she musters up the courage to attend Jarrod’s annual “come as your favorite animal” costume party. The dressy affair sparks the beginnings of a romance as well as a small journey for the pair to Jarrod’s quiet hometown.
