It's just after midnight in NZ, Wednesday morning. I'll still be another couple of hours before I turn in. I can hear the gentle slapping of waves and rigging and that's about all. Very peaceful here tonight.
Well, I was right. I got about a 90 minute nap in before I got woken up by He-Who-Shall-Remain-Nameless throwing on every light in the house... and then from the doorway of the room asking me something-or-other involving caffeine and work lunch prep... I don't even remember what I said, but he's out the door and on his way to work now.
And I... am now once again wide awake.
Oh, well. I can be envious of both of you being on your ships and get some work done on Nataani's read-me file until I'm tired enough to go back to sleep. LOL
Lorraine - our next door neighbors are seasonals... they spend half the year here in the U.S., and then fly back to NZ for the second half of the year. He's a natural born U.S. citizen, but he married a Kiwi... a man who was forever known as a neverending skirt-chaser met his NZ wife on board of a cruise ship and decided to marry within two weeks of laying eyes on her... so far, they're holding together pretty well, and it's going on towards their 7th year. LOL They're in or around Auckland somewhere IIRC... run some kind of a food cart type business I think when they're over there... I have helped them do the graphic design/layout of their food menu/signage in past years.
Funnily enough, I have no problems whatsoever understanding her when we speak face to face... but put her on the phone and all of a sudden everything she says gets lost to the accent and I feel like I'm listening to a foreign language
(and so does she when she listens to us on the phone!)
Anyway. I thought you would get a chuckle out of that.
He always boasts to everyone that they'll spend the rest of their lives running from winter.
I feels for you, I really do.
