Aww Dang it Sis, I gapped it to make a fleeting visit to my cuzzie up the road but came back a few mins later, parked MY round the back. Poo! woulda been mint for a catch up (always welcome), was coming over to the chippie to see if i'd spot some familiar faces then got caught up by ordering food which took forever!!!!!! We stayed for a wee while at the watering hole before I gapped it to Kawakawa, am sorry I missed ya, oh well, Sunday.

Hey Tip, girly trip to Botony do get Do Did and pick up my favourite hazelnut toffee lol...noticed they'd restricted their parking limits now and some 'express' areas are now pay and display.

it was a good ride...really enjoyed it...even finding the holes in me boots where the water gets in (the tops of them

) and learning that my leather jacket is no longer water proof (after 25 years of service not bad) and finally learning that visors on helmets are actually bloody handy

...

and thanks ladies for the conversation...bloody spooooky to think whats underneath eh???? and how freaking freakin aotearoa really is....freakin awesome that is....thanks miss maakz for the update on all things locally cool...
