XMAS EVEYes only one sleep to go. Funny how time passes so quick now and the days seem so much shorter than when one is a child. Then it took what seemed weeks to arrive. School finished and it was, it seemed, some months later that Xmas was here. I can still remember when I first knew that Santa was not real (isn't he!!!),
I was going to stay at my grandmothers in Pt. Chevalier and told my mother it wasn't true so I took some presents to her place - for her probably - and my brother asked what was in the parcel and we told him it was a shirt. I can't remember how old I was.
Speaking about my brother; he and his wife are coming to NZ for a few days and will be staying with us. A chance for them to meet the fabulous Mr Kipp.
Joe cut his leg and had to go to the hospital - he was told the delay was an hour which was a good estimate but as he got to the front an ambulance arrived. Overall about 3 hours there in the end.
Fiji - Our High Commissioner bundled home just after they said they wouldn't. Irrational behaviour is a hall mark of all dictatorships.
A
nother nutty story from America. The Californian Supreme Court has ruled that 'good samaritans' who help others, such as at car accidents, can be sued if they inadvertently harm those they are trying to help. So, if you see anybody that needs help - just walk away. That is really Christian!!
