a glassy Balaena Bay
That's a new one to me - what area of Welly is that? You're quite right tho, Welly is gorgeous on a sunny day and eminently swimmy.
I just had a week in Napier, but the equinox was still doing its thing and it was cloudy/drizzly most of the time. had a kayak on Pandora Pond, but no swimming & the boogie board stayed in the car. We house-sat for some friends which was brilliant - a bolt hole from the crowds. Fed the two fattest cats in history - Ronnie & Clyde. Caught up with lots of old mates and had xmas dinner with family - not without the obligatory family fight, however. sigh.
I was stunned at the miles of vineyards that have gone in the last few years - they're everywhere. Now I'm home to catch up on chores, like painting the house. Lucky!

PA became my new addiction this year, love the quality conversation, information, debate - I can't stand to read those other loathsome blogs, I don't like to be daily reminded how vile folks can be. But PA is the sort of connectivity and village community that really makes the best of the possibilities.
Thanks to all the bloggers who share their lives and poignant moments.I'm just heading off to Hawkes Bay, or, THE Hawkes Bay as Auckland proles like to call it, for family catch-up and looking up some old mates. Have a fine old time till next year, everyone....

you need sunshine, grass, the knowledge that these are the best days of your life
Aw, but can "they" make a buck out of it?

elevated the Philippines to its deserved status as a leading and quality, global human resource provider,"
I find something very sad about that statement.

clean into Thursday?

Green Grass Pudding. I think Shep might have overdosed on some of that.
Maybe The Feds are going in for massive value-added product development and turning all that good green grass into Tranquil Baked Goods for stressed out Money Mongrels?

I'm unconvinced of the benefits of any and all free trade deals, just because most of the things (computer software, movies, jetpacks) that NZ's economic growth is in aren't really affected by them.
I hereby sentence you to a week with Federated Farmers. They'll soon correct your thinking, boy.
[{http://www.fedfarm.org.nz/n1116.html}]
"Federated Farmers is encouraged by a new government that values the real builders of the economy and seeks to serve those builders, vice-president, Frank Brenmuhl said today after the new government gave its Speech from the Throne. "It is great that the government is showing commitment to supporting the productive side of the economy. The primary sector of course earns 65 percent of New Zealand's export receipts so is a crucial factor in New Zealand's future economic wellbeing," Mr Brenmuhl said."

You could ask yourself, as I have, what you do with a South East Asian history degree. Paired with an art history major. Not necessarily a direct career pathway to early childhood education one might think.
Ha! I appreciate that dilemma. They sound a fascinating mix. I seriously have considered teaching, mostly because I really do like being around children, but this whole testing/teach rigidly to the curriculum stuff scares me, not to mention teacher culture. I'm the perpetual "But why? Can't i do it this way or try this one...oh, and that really sucks." I've really had to sit on my creativity while at uni, love the research tho.
What made ece your chosen path, Jacqui? Did you have to do another 3 years or was that a 1 year postgrad course?
