My sister in law is getting married in New Zealand next year. So in order to finance it we're selling the house and moving, well the neighbours have won I guess - but at least we'll get some sleep.

However it's not the wedding I'm excited about but instead the possibility of us getting a flight from Auckland to Port Vila (I'm going home!!!!)

Yup I've already managed to secure the services of the lovely Sheila in Auckland Holiday Shoppe who is on the case and enquiring about staying on Iririki - the small island in the port where my sister was born and hiring a car to drive to all the places i wanna see again. i'm so excited it may be over a year off but I'm gonna plan the whole adventure in detail.

Next up is to get hold of some islanders and arrange a guide to help with me finding the places i was too young to remember the routes to. But that'll be winter homework. Main thing is The Rossi still exists so the first night's meal is taken care of.

I've not been blogging for a few weeks as work and the radio broadcasts have kind of taken over. Hope you're all listening - I've really enjoyed doing them and so signed myself up to do the Glastonbury ones - well no one else had jumped in.

This weekend we've got a busy time, there's getting the house assessed to sell, Baka Beyond, FA Cup Final, Exeter City at Wembley, visit to my Gran,

and two sessions of archery - I've gone barebow (no sights - much easier i move my head too much) and Z is doing well - she's been recommended a bow now. And I'm looking at a KB69 Samick Phoenix Hunter Take Down Bow-62 inch and some carbon aluminium woven arrows. Nice - K has also taken up the sport and is doing a novice course.

Bought some odd and sods fish - a few cardinals, a couple of glowlights, two barbs, 2 more gouramis and 2 peppered corys - to bring the tank up to full again. We had to take back the yellow barbs they just harried the other fish.

First outdoor festie is next weekend! Then Wychwood and IOW! Yes, at last! I'm not allowed to wear the eye poppingly bright shirt until IOW!
