Well, request letters for sponsorship have started to go out.. It sounds like we haven't been doing much lately - so I'll fill you in! I'm sat typing this on a sunny winters day, overlooking Mt Maungatautari with 2 rabbits and a pheasant on my garden, my husband would think this alarming that I find it peaceful rather than see it from the eyes of a hunter.... Now there's 3 rabbits - that was quick reproduction! We have our Kitchen - Keeping the heart in the home, courtesy of Hopkins Joinery here in sunny Putaruru but Ron & his team are organising more for us - so like may other items for auction, we can't actually list them until we know what is what. BUT - if you are thinking of buying a new kitchen this year THEN DON'T... Wait and come and bid on this. You'll be able to choose everything, but we're getting vouchers to cover cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, appliances, tiling, flooring - THE WHOLE NINE YARDS - so get saving as this will be worth tens of thousands, and ALL of the money raised throughout the night will go to the trust. How cool would it be if we could fund a whole research in Linda's name....
I start my new job on Monday - yes unintentionally at the start of the holidays - the boys are getting lists of chores to do on the farm - but I'll be Manager at Pride in Putaruru, so it will tie in perfectly with what I do with the Rural Party Girls, so one can have their cake and eat it (unfortunately it shows!!). 50 corporate packs went out last night, we sat over at my house, fire raging, switching between checking requests & Coronation Street (I may sound like someone off "The Street" but I don't watch it - I just ring my sister!!), nibbles, cheese and crackers and a few bottles of Allan Scott Sauvignon Blanc 2007 - most divine AND $9 A BOTTLE OFF AT WOOLLIES!! Someone called at the farm this morning and said "I don't know where you girls find the time" and I had to stifle a giggle - on a professional scale of 0 to 10, we'd be a 0 - late night meetings, more concern over who's doing morning tea - or now that we have night meetings, supper & wine, on a passion for what we're doing we'd be a 50 - we love every minute of it and Nat and I drive Anne INSANE with constant requests of new things as ideas. Anne is the sane(ish) one amongst us, has 6 kids between 5 and 16 and is ssssoooooooo organised. So, blogging through the school holidays may be a little sporadic, but one thing can be said - you're in for a bloody good event!
