Weird Christmas Decorations

on my work today I noticed that the street decorations had gone up on Krd one of Aucklands seedier and more colourful roads. Which makes the decoration all the more funny as they are angels that only have one wing. I was wondering if they were suggesting it was the area of fallen angels. The photo is not a good representation as it shows the wing of the angel on the reverse so could almost look normal.

In our main road we also have Giant baubles that look as though they have crashed into the earth. Oh and as pointed out by Grant our department store windows have two elves that are dry humping.

Oh how much I love Christmas :)

What a week

Well the week started fun after a long night out with good conversation on Sunday with an old friend but then it sped up and all sorts of things happened. The company I work for announced that the two directors were spliting the company so I went from 18 to 5 on the upside I apparently have the cool boss and we get to stay in the nice building.

Then my bank claimed the form I had signed from them locking in an interest rate was not the right one (like I was supposed to know that) so tried to make me pay a whopping 2% more than agreed so fought like crazy and after talking to 3 tiers of managers finally bet them back to my original price.

So you can imagine I was looking forward to the weekend. Got to do one of my favourite things - watch the santa parade which is convieniently just at the end of my street. Love seeing all the mad costumes and floats and the smiles on the kids faces.

only 29 days till Christmas man has time flown.

New Haircut and The Grey Lynn Festival

So I have shed Grant and am single again - with this in mind thought it was time for a change so for the first time ever I have a fringe. I call it my hairy caterpilla as it tickles me all the time and still not used to it keep looking in the mirror and feeling like a stranger is there. But its always good to try new things.

Also went to the Grey Lynn festival which was fabulous a beautiful sunny day, some great reggae and hippy music and lots and lots of people, also the first market which reminded me of St Kilda only its only on once a year so am trying to suss out where they are normally.

would appreciate your thoughts on the fringe.

Christmas in the city

Well its my favourite time of year again and I am happy to report the classic massive finger beckoning, eye winking santa is still appearing on the old farmers now whitcoulls building. Also happy to say that Auckland has window to compete with myers in bourke street melbourne. yippee only 38 days to go.

New office

The company I work for has just moved from Queen street in the heart of the city into Williamson Ave in Ponsonby which is the heart of the trendy area for those in Melbourne kinda the Chapel street so not good for lunch times as way too many temptations. But on the upside a much nicer building and I have a huge desk and a window seat.

Guy Fawkes

Had such fun lighting (Well actually my sister did the lighting) of lots of fireworks tonight we even managed to spell letters with the sparklers and save them on film. so glad we can still celebrate them in NZ really missed this while living in OZ. Oh and for those that don't know guy fawkes actually is the 5th of november and commemorates the bungled attempt to blow up the houses of parliament in England.

Op Shop and Brooke Fraser

Last night I was lucky enough to watch two homegrown singers and they were both amazing. I have loved brooke fraser for ages and she is just as amazing live and extremely funny you get a comedy show at the same time as a music one. Glad I have her cds so can keep singing along.
