"Once I've won Lotto I'll travel to all the far flung places I've dreamed of visiting: Morocco, Barcelona, Paris, Vienna, Prague, St Petersburg, Toky, Las Vegas, Cuba, Machu Picchu, Rio de Janeiro. Until then I'll happily settle for the world of music and dance visiting me in the Naki"
"This show sounds like great fun. Years ago I was given a recorder type instrument made from a stick of aniseed. It sounded so awful I preferred to chew on it rather than play."
"Teenage boys crack me up with their habit of wearing jeans with the waistline below their butts & the crotch around their knees. They walk in an uncomfortable shuffle stopping to pull their pants up every few steps - pure stupidity over substance! The temptation to down-trous them and casually walk away almost overwhelms me, I mean what are they going to do about it?!?
Hmm maybe this just makes me angry. On a brighter note I do always smile whenI see dogs blissfully hanging out car windows feeling the wind in their face & watching my elderly cat getting feisty with his catnip mouse."
"If you suffer from frozen fingertips in winter, swing your arms around a few times like a manic windmill until you feel the blood pumping to your fingers again. If it doesn't work, it probably means you've got frost bite & will need amputation!"
"I'm a Wellingtonian these days. The winters here are more tolerable since I invested in a windproof and waterproof jacket and a hat with earflaps that the wind can't tear off."
