Billy!!!!!! Billy the Bus!!!! Can you really hear me way down there!!???!!? And i though there was just me, out in the wilderness of mad-mudcat-land!!!!

I KNEW I'd get in trouble with the Ed Hillary thing, but it pushes my button coz I used to get hassled about the name - even in Essex! I LOVE honey and bees and things, but c'mon - he IS boring. And it's tedious that he wins the best/most loved/ most well known/man you'd like as a dad/uncle/prime minister/king/God thing all the time...I mean, most people think all we have living down here is lots of sheep, Ed Hilary and some family that Kiri Te Kanawa used to have.

And so far I've been REALLY patriotic and done a little plug for New Zild with every post. Odd that. Just seemed to come out that way.

Hey - this is wierd - how did you know I was here???? I'm not really very computer-literate and I think this is all done with mirrors.

I didn't go to Easter fest this year...I WAS IN ENGLAND....YAY! YAY! but it went very well, if a little damp. I'm off to the Winter Warm Up festival at Waihi Beach tomorrow. it started tonight but i have to work.

I'm working.....honest...look!!! [work..work......work ...work work.....work]

N.B. Other people who are still in my computer - we have folk festivals here in New Zild [which is new Zild for New Zealand - New Zealanders talk with their teeth clenched together] Easter, now, January ....when I get the hang of the blue clicky thing I must post links....

right now i have to go to bed to prepare for not going to bed for the next two nights...

Hey Billy!!!! Great to hear from you!!!! But why are you Sam?
