THE SNOW HAS ARRIVED WITH A SMALL DUMP LAST NIGHT LEAVING ABOUT 30MM OVER THE CITY

Wow it got cold quick I’m now yearning for the 10-13 degree that I was complaining of last week, deffinately no motorcycleing this week

I like the snow it looks great but it is a bugger that it shuts everything down and puts up the heating bill

I gave my employee the day off and didnt venture outside for the day

I managed to get nothing at all achieved and slept away most of the afternoon in front of the squaure tube watching a DVD of Robots an animated film its quite funny and the artwork is very well done

I’m in the middle of cooking dinner for us, tonight I’m doing stuffed chicken breast wityh roasted pumpkin, potatoe, yams and corn on the cob with mixed carrots and peas, that should help to warm us up

“Cheeky” has just jumped onto the computer table trying to get my attention, shes a smoocher this one just loves cuddles and pats, she has a great nature I often wake up in the night to find her snuggled up against me

my

My big tom Ginga has been harrassing her, chasing her around the house so they must have had a personality clash

spaeaking of personality the wee one “scaredy cat” has moved in and made our home her home, she even let my mate Tracey pick her up for a smooch when she was visiting yesterday so now three people can approach her, she’s still very nervous but thats understandable as 6-8 weeks ago she was fending for herself living wild

I’m going to brave the elements and go for a walk up the hill to see Tracey later just to get a break out of the house, we’ll probly just kick back and watch TV or whatever but it will get me out of the house

I wont risk taking my car as a bruise on my butt is easier on the wallet than dents in my car or worse in someone elses vehicle, the walk is up hill but nothing too extreme for a old crusty

speaking of “KRUSTY” I had a phone call a couple of days ago from a mate who owns Webber Bro’s Circus here in NZ we nicknamed him “KRUSTY” as he always plays the clown act in the performance, and besides owning the circus, he is a proffesional clown

He would always make sure Mum got free tickets and the best seats in the house when ever they would tour Dunedin.

And then make a fuss of her after the show, it always put a twinkle to her eye those young half naked acrobats etc

Long story short he is closing down his NZ operation in a few months time as its not making money with the down turn in the economy and going to an operation in Australia

He was asking how my work was going and if I’d like to drive a semi and do the rigging, and general engineeering work on the circus that he is going to be running

I [reluctantly] turned him down but I was so tempted to say yes, I was also quite pleased that he would consider me for the work, He likes to have a core team of good reliable workers and then hire the acts etc so he wanted me in for the long haul driving and the rigging, but I would be expected to fit in where ever needed, if I was a little less settled I would have jumped at the chance but I have my business here and my employee is relying on me to feed his kids etc, my Dad is not getting any younger so I want to see as much of him as I can in the next few years, so I said no

I’m a bit in shock as I would not have hesitated 10 yrs ago, I would have had my bags packed the bulk stuff in storage and be on the plane, Its also good to know that I have people I could get work with should things go to pieces with the work I have on now

Well thats my Snow day
