Well, I've done it again, over a month since the last entry and only two and a half weeks until we leave. We're booked in to go to Scilly on the 15th and back on the 17th of September and we're going to Spain on the 22nd and coming back on the 27th. Other than that we haven't really book anything else, oh well it will all come together on the night.

We haven't been up to too much over the last month, went to New Plymouth for Alison's grandparents 60th wedding anniversary, what a milestone that is (not a millstone, honest Al)! Also went to a 21st of a cousin of Alison's in Auckland.

Last weekend Alison was involved a fund raiser for the school, a lip sync. Alison and some of the PTA had the first act up, the Jackson Five with "blame it on the boogie"......pick the star. It was a great night and I think school raised about $3,000.

Off to New Plymouth this weekend to see Alisons grandparents, hoping to get a round of golf in. I have a stag doo next Saturday and 36 holes of golf on Sunday, getting ready for golf around the world, Beijing, St. Andrews, Darlington, Thame, Spain, LA and anywhere else I've got time, much to Alison's disgust.

Well, that's about it for now, next installment may be from Beijing.
