Ahhhhhh....

Here it is, 11.18pm, and I have JUST – about two minutes ago – submitted my thesis for my Master of Management.

It is too long, and doesn't look boring, so I will probably get a rotten mark. But that wasn't the point of doing it: the point of doing it was the learning. And I learned heaps.

So I will now have lots of time to do the ‘nice’ things in life. I could even, if I wanted, clean out the fridge (quite unlikely though). And instead of wedging in work and research at 5am, I could sleep in (that's pretty unlikely too).

But at least there's no study tomorrow.

Cheers!

Long time no post! Pictorial news from Nelson, June 2014

Hi all,
It has been a very busy quarter, and I have not caught up with anyone or anything of late. In fact, I don't think I have had as long a silent time on family updates in well over a decade.

So, because I am still busy, this time we will just do a quick pictorial update.

Happenings: weddings & birthdays

April: Mike & Donna's Wedding in Rarotonga

May: Father's 80th birthday at the Boathouse, with Uncle Lin & cousin Kim attending, plus all the other known reprobates

And some additional photos of cousin Kim's stay:

We went to John's Birthday in Wellington

We went to Sharon & Ian's 30th Wedding Anniversary:

Jenny Ladley made us plant plants (at last):

And we went down to McLarins Bay in Squally Cove last weekend with Glenys & Kevin:

Our next events are: June 28-30 Wellington for Sam (CDANZ planning retreat); July 4-6, Morrinsville for Joerg's 50th; July 8-15 Otto & Lara coming to Nelson; July 12-13 for mid-winter Xmas at Roses Road.

Proper news next time, at last!

Jan & Sam
