The world really has gone mental.. or perhaps I spend too much time reading about global warming and other things.
My cousin Thomas (who I can’t wait to see in 2 weeks time) sent me a link to The Presidential Prayer Team I honestly thought it was just a clever skit site – until I found this site Honestly.. it’s a mad place. Then again, from reading the Irish Times online, as I do, it seems our dear leaders could do with some prayer. They’re putting a motorway through one of the most ancient Celtic landscapes our country has (one of my favourite places which I always try to take visitors when they come to Ireland). Madness.
Sigh.
Still, it’s good to see New Zealand still has it’s head firmly screwed on. They fined an Oscar winning actress (who tried to say she was just tired) for bringing one apple and one orange into the country. Let that be a warning to anyone planning on coming to NZ… don’t mess with the quarantine laws!
Anyway – enough ramblings.. see I don’t just think about what the next trip is going to be ;)
However, the next trip is going to be one I’ve wanted to do for a long time. And it’s going to be nice and lazy too. On Sat morning we’ll head to the Otahake hot pools. In our rucksacks will be many bottles of wine, candles, and good food to eat (it’s a short – 4 hour – easy walk in). Then we’ll make our pools in the river, and generally just laze about. It’s going to be magic.
