New WWOOFers :-(

There are new WWOOFers arrrrrggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for my over-exaggerated reaction but mum or dad didn't even tell us they were going to come on the mailboat so when we came back to the house from playing round the place outside. It was like, whoah! there's random people in our house! And then we had to meet them and go through all the boring random talk that random strangers talk. Sorry if I'm a bit negative but in my opinion we have too many wwoofers and they get annoying after a while. (by the way WWOOF means Willing Workers On Organic Farms). The Telocom people that my bro was talking about came yesterday (just after he posted his blog!) and they fixed something but it wasn't the right problem! one of our freezers/fridges is down and we are doomed! not literally I hope but you never know...

kayak sailing!

The day before yesterday me and my bro Tas went kayak sailing! We tied small tarpaulins onto manuka sticks and tied them onto the kayaks. it wasn't very windy that day so we didn't go very fast but it was fun as! Nothing much else to report but I can't find a very good war song to put in my powerpoint presentation.

REAP day

The REAP day here was ok, because I didn't have to listen to dad's speech on alternative power and there was a person there who taught us how to tie knots and make bracelets and stuff like that. It was awesome! Today is the third sunny and fine day this week - yesterday was very cloudy and cold but Monday and Tuesday were beautiful like today! But there isn't enough wind to sail :-( or windsurf :-( :-(

Starting School!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi There!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so bored in the holidays that it's almost a relief to start school again!



News Update:

My guinea pig still hasn't had the babies but she's pretty big now and you can feel the babies inside her - the spine and head.



Tomorrow there is going to be a REAP day here! My dad is going to do a speech on alternative power (boring!) and why we chose it (even more boring!). For those of you who don't know, REAP is a group of people who do courses at different places to learn interesting things (sometimes) like alternative power stuff, rope knotting etc. REAP means Rural Education and Activities Program and there are 13 REAP's in NZ right now.

Now, moving on to something more interesting there were a pod of bottle-nose dolphins in the bay today! They stayed in our bay for about an hour then left, but not before they showed off they're awesome jumping skills!

best thing on bb this term:

I don't think the I have done anything really good on BlackBoard this term but if I had to choose I would pick the blog because it is fun and it is much better than writing down everything in a booklet learning journal. :-)

pregnant guinea pig

My guinea pig Vampire is pregnant, she is due to have the babies around about next week! I'll send some pics when they're born. The only problem is that next week I'm going to Easter Camp 2010!! I hope that Vamp won't have the babies until I come back - and the week that I come back from Easter Camp is also the week that some of my brother's friends are coming to our house for a week so that's going to be busy! This is a pic of Vamp now - she doesn't look that fat because of her hair but really she's as wide as she is long!

Rain! :(

Sup Blog,

It bucketed down with rain today and there was HUGE waves in the sea. We almost went kayaking but we decided not to because the waves had gone down heaps. Me and Tasman had to go to the mailboat but luckily it stopped raining just before we went down. There were actually people on the mailboat roof! It was amazing because it was really cold and it looked like it was going to rain again.
