End of the first week of school, Jennie auditioned for a part in the senior school production of Blood Brothers but being in the junior part of the school went against her bit still a good experience. She has also applied to be a cultural form leader.

Oliver makes his debut(!) for the first VI cricket on Saturday 17th Feb whilst Alex is off to Wellington for a lads and dads day out at the Super 14 Hurricanes v Auckland Blues match complete with new fancy red leg cast. One of the lads going with us is related to Tana Umaga so we are hoping to come back with a few celebrity signatures on the cast!

Jacqui continuing to work too hard splitting her time between my practice and the hospital.

We have just come to the end of the NZ masters Games which is held in Wanganui every two years, a great event and one that we would have taken part in if we hadn't been so all consumed by the house build which seems now to be dragging on interminably! We should be down to our last month of work.........

My work still very busy, takes me back to the early years. Found myself faced with a rather large Samoan prop forward this week. He was part of the team that beat Wales in the 1999 World Cup so I won't be getting him fixed too quickly!

That's all for now folks........
