It's 2006.....actually now it's March 2006...
I am still getting used to blogging...it is all in Japanese and a matter of trial and error for me...
There is a big black hole of time in between posts....from 2005 and 2006.
So what happened....well.......
I went home for 3 weeks to attend the wedding of my good friend Jason...whom I was best man for.
It was fun and a real blessing to be a part of...to help support him and hang with friends...some of whom i had not seen for a while.
I stayed with my friends Mark and Carolyn and had just the best time with them and their two boys...Ben and ollie. What a blessing they are to me and although I was out and about a lot....was able to spend quality time with them as well. Mark is a great cook and...love that man.....he makes the best cheesecakes!!!
Was able to get up to Taupo to see some long unseen cousins and enjoyed the lovely hospitality of Auntie Vera.....great to relax for a couple of days in such a beautiful spot.
Mark and i went to Masterton for a boys weekend and had a blast!! Hot swim....a lovely restaraunt meal....a wee hike.....wine and nibbles....just time to talk and hang out....a luxury in this day and age with Him sooo busy and me soooo far away..
My time in NZ ended with visits to doctors and dentists....culminating in having two wisdom teeth surgically removed....interesting having grinders and saws in your mouth and being twisted and pulled in every direction....i just hung on for dear life and prayed it would soon be over!
So my time went quick.....good to see friends and family...hard to see my Dad in such a state with his myalgia? playing up and it is difficult seeing someone who for so long has been big and strong....a shadow of his former self.....age catches up huh...and comes to us all. Good to tie up some loose ends and to leave on a good note......good to be able to treat my Mum and spend a fab day with her.
Looked forward to getting back to Japan, knowing I was probably re-contract and not be back in NZ for 18 months minimum....sayonara NZ........
