The Empty Nest Syndrome?

Its been a busy last few weeks since B&L married a month ago. Last Saturday we farewelled them off to Melbourne where they will live for the next year anyway :( Pup is with us until 19th April when I have to put her on a flight to Brisbane to meet up with her folks :( We will really miss her. She is such a GOOD dog!! SO well behaved. Her parents have done a very good job of training her, thats for sure!!
A week today we say 'Adieu' to Sheri & Steve who are heading to the U.K. via Thailand (& heaps of other places,) for the next 2 years :( (There are lots of :( in this blog?) Its something Sheri has talked about doing since her early teens. I am glad she has a travelling companion...good on ya Steve!! They stayed on Friday night & Sheri made Donna Hay's yum baked fish, salad & wedges for dinner. She is a very good cook. Good cooks run in our family!! We are very blessed!!
Auckland experienced a 'weather bomb' on Thursday, similar to one we had last June? The rain was awesome though & all the fields & surrounding hills have greened up overnight! The cattle & sheep are loving all the new growth. Our 2 'boys' are starting to fatten up again. They lost a bit of weight over summer with such little growth.
It was wierd going into work on Thursday & not seeing B&L there :( but the new manager, a Swiss guy, is lovely & I am sure will settle in well over time.
I am going to have a 'nana-nap'. Thats what I like to do on Sundays if we don't have company...and today we don't!!! RB is out with Pup putting netting around the flame tree as 'the boys' are proceeding to eat the bark off it :{
Toodles!!
