Paul's Birthday

Ceiling Swamp

Well no one can say we don't throw a good party! We had 2 different rooms playing a selection of music from your favourite djs, bands and musicians and for those of that got too hot from all the sweat dripping booty shaking, the pool was available, complete with boys to pull you in if you're a little shy!
Ring-tastic

The party was great with everyone drinking well beyond capacity, but thankfully not spilling anything on the carpet! Our only casualties were our new flash-guy lamp and a section of roof guttering that got stood on (don't ask).
Oh yeah! and as anticipated the bass from Paul's new hifi brought the noise control! mhmm.

Look familiar?

oh my! a lovely alcohol inspired picture.

And an alcohol inspired Paul flippin'!

In other news I'd like to introduce the new, bright and shiny button in our little urban whanau collection. Ko Kelly tenei!

Expensive Cuddle

Yesterday we decided to go for a walk on the beach, only to find Point Chev positively riddled with small and spectacularly loud juvenile humans on parole from school. Not really suiting our mood we hunted around for somewhere a little more secluded. However instead of the anticipated cozy viewing of the sun settling over the horizon we got the car stuck in the mud. Spent half an hour on our knees shovelling the disgusting sand, pitch black underneath with decaying organics, until we were literally gagging from the stench... and only succeeded in sinking the drivers side of the car down to its runner boards!


After calling 4 different tow companies we finally found someone who'd come out and 'see' if they could help us. In the end it took 2 tow trucks.... 1 to tow the car out and the 2nd to tow the 1st truck out... and cost us a pretty penny!!
The towies did say it was quite a common site though and we were lucky to get it out... they've witnessed several cars submerged, including a police car! Aweskimo!

The Lache

We've moved (literally) 600m up the road. To a house with a mint-as view (and a pool and a spa). Here's a couple of pics to tantalize...

No comments about my inadequate photo stitching, thanks~!

It's been hypothesised that the living areas in The Lache are twice as big as SchwarzHaus so we're going to need twice the number of people to fill it at our next party... hope you all can help out!

Also Paul's just purchased a honking great stereo system that's going to bully your heart into pumping blood in time with the music, or pulverize you in trying (this is a good thing!). I would take a photo of it but I don't have a wide angle lens -kidding! -but seriously. -nah, just joking! -or am I? *raised eyebrow*

SchwarzHaus Final Hurrah!

If you haven't already heard we're moving out of SchwarzHaus cause the stinky-poo landlord decided to sell the place! We've moved up the road (more on that later) but in celebration of our moving we decided to put SchwarzHaus to bed with a PJ and pillow fight party.

Thanks to the wonders of TradeMe we managed to pick up a queen sized slat bed cheaply and install it in the dining room. You can't see from this picture but it also has under-bed lighting installed! flash guys.



Everyone turned up in their PJ's (or were provided with PJs if they were too slack!).

I don't have the pics but I recommend you ask Adele for a peek ;p

Meet the cleaning "lady"!
