Don't dream it, be it

We went to the local theatre to see Rocky Horror on Friday night. What a hoot!

It wasn't the slick production we'd seen in London. But the enthusiasm of the actors and the audiences' heckling made it a night to remember. Lol...it was definitely the raunchiest production I've ever seen!

Creating security

Our son and I are off to see Dr Strange this morning.

It is a ritual that we have. Whenever there is a new Marvel or DC movie that makes its appearance, we go and see it.

Happy to be home

I'm back from the Sleep DownUnder 2016 conference in Adelaide, Australia. I'm so happy to be home and sleeping in my own bed, surrounded by my family.

Uncomfortable situation

I am sort of looking forward to being in Adelaide for various reasons but on the other hand, I'm not. It is great to network with other sleep labs, but...

Well, I've come to realise one aspect of why I am here in NZ.

It takes while to ground into a new home

The song by REM called The One I Love has been playing in my head for the last two days.

I've been ignoring it until I sat down to write this post. So as I was curious I looked up the words and discovered that it is not a love song but about collapse instead. Using "props" to keep us occupied and distracted in this world.

Sydney/Currarong, Australia

Who knew I could be such a poop?!

Sydney visit

I am flying out to Sydney tomorrow for five days.  Unfortunately Greg won't be coming with me due to work committments.

Kawhia, Aotea and hot water beach

We visited Kawhia and Aotea - known as the "land that time forgot".

According to the Hamilton & Waikato website:

"One of the Hamilton & Waikato’s, and indeed New Zealand’s, best kept secrets is Kawhia Hot Water Beach. Head down to Ocean Beach in Kawhia at low tide, clamber over the sand dunes and stroll down onto the beach. Find your spot and start digging for an instant natural hot water spa, with stunning views to match."
