I am the Fool....
You are the Fool
You are a fascinating person who is way beyond the concerns of this world.
Young at heart, you are blissfully unaware of any dangers ahead.
You are a true wanderer - it has be difficult finding your place in this world.
Full of confidence, you are likely to take a leap of faith.
Your fortune:
You are about to embark on a new phase in your life.
This may mean changing locations, jobs, friends, or love status.
You are open about what the future will bring, and free of worry.
You have made your peace with fate, and you're ready to start down your new path.
And the winner is.........
I just love meeting and finding happy, beautiful people, and my latest origami crown award goes to:

Go see why for yourself :)

Monday Monday....
Not sure wether Mondays get easier or not but I don't mind them too much.... Actually it was always Sundays evenings that gave me the real downers..anticipation being far worse than realisation in this case ;o)
Helped out in school which was fun and had busy day in town.... with a Mocha thrown in of course...and a new Tarot deck...and a very old book about NZ I started reading a while back, lost and then managed to order..... :))))))
My firstborn has been accepted into the college choir as a soprano...... :o) Joyful stuff indeed!!!
Got a book from library called *I Live Here now*.....about a Brit lady who moved to NZ in the 50's at the age of 46 and started a new life...
Well... I live here now too... and I grow pumpkins, and have developed a taste for the local ales... current favorite is Monteith's Summer Ale.... most slurpalicious ;-P

Beautiful Bays.....
Spent the day driving from Rarangi to Picton, via Port Underwood...
The bays were so peaceful and just stunning...... I wanted to swim in all of them....
But we had to get back for the school bus...
Had lunch in Picton, and discovered Monteith's Summer Ale *slurp*....
This land just gets better...and better......

Valentines Day..and the *PERFECT* gift...
I got my first ever Valentine's gift..well the first I remember...and cards and messages!
Actually I got the gift on Friday, it is a combined *Anniversary and Valentines* gift...and was a total surprise ..!
Since I first came to New Zealand I have wanted a Greenstone Koru... Greenstone is found on the South Island and it's name in Maori is the same name they give to this Island...
Te Wai Pounamu ..... The Water of the Greenstone
The Koru is symbolic of a curled fernleaf.... unfurling and reaching towards the light, towards new life....
It strives for harmony and perfection and positive new beginnings...
It represents rebirth, spiritual renewal and hope for the future....
What more perfect gift could I have been given?
Thank you...x

First to see the *LIGHT*
This is soooooo cool !!!
New Zealand is the first place to release this new light marking technique for fruit instead of the stickly labels they use.
They released these plums on Waitangi Day as part of Celebrate New Zealand month, and were giving out free samples in Countdown.
Very clever marketing with the first to see the light phrase, and I love the laser etching....
The plums were sweet and delicious too :o)
