Thanks DJR.

Our day 12 Covid test done and dusted.

Had to use a whole lot of pre-meds to get our daughter through this one. 

The staff were amazing in helping us. Really patient. Just a bit sad that the nurse was a bit harsh on her.

But sheesh, it is incredible how kids can be inspirational. Despite her fear and anxiety and tears and crying, she new she had to do it, And she did it. Amazing to see her overcome her fear and do what needs to be done.  Now there a re a few things that need to be done that I have been avoiding. Like paying bills.

To paraphrase the Smash Mouth All Star song when it comes to relocation to this side of the world; 

"Well the years bills start coming and they don't stop coming........"

 

Good work on getting through MIQ so far.

A bit of reversal of jealousy making...

Having lived in Nam, I did have a pang or two.

I'm calling this relevant to the thread due to Patches and Intern's motorcycle discussions ????

 Our little man decided to arrive early and with quite a different approach to his sister and due to COVID Papa missed his birth unfortunately!! Luckily I insisted on staying at hospital while having contractions (which they thought was false labour) otherwise he would have come in the car or at home.... 

He was 9 days early, 2 weeks shorter in the tummy than his sister, but a big difference in size. NB clothes fitted her for only a week, he swims in it.

Spacial times for sure! ????

You made me go look. I didn't realise they were so far south... 40 degrees south at the northern point of the north island.

When you start the car on a Saturday morning and Apple already knows your routine, and where you're heading ????????

Congratulations, you were lucky to get one of each!

When we ordered the last one they delivered the wrong baby and we are stuck with two boys .... unfortunately this whole birth and baby thing is a non-refundable or exchangeable deal

 

It feels like just the other day though that you yourself was lying in a hospital in SA .... clearly that was a good couple of years ago already

Congrats Hayley and Hubby.

Regardless of the message in this video, the BUZZ.NZ is a right wing anti vaxx nuthouse filled with covid deniers and ill informed narratives. A simple browse through their website makes my feel ill and I want to rub my screen with disinfectant.

I am all for critical thought and holding a government accountable for its failures. But using anything on that site is silly.

Take a look at the "who we follow" section of the website and it is quite literally a list of the WORST places on the internet to get information.
