we're back!!!

its been nearly two years since the hijinx of south america, therefore a International Women of Mayhem trip is long overdue.
with nell being back in South Africa and me sitting here in Auckland - any trip is going to be international and what better than planning a dive trip!?!

so over chat tonight - when i mentioned i really really really wanted a tropical island holiday and some sunshine, warm water and diving - we are starting to look at a trip to Mozambique next year.

YEA!

i love planning trips (its like list making but SOOOO much cooler) so while nell talks to her people about places and times and stuff, here i am already updating the IWM blog and checking out diving websites and photographs. whale sharks, manta rays and reef diving - here we come!!

New arrival

Tara's got a new baby...

and it's pretty cool...

poker faces

nell insisted on a round of the CPT even before she arrived home, so nick offered to host it at his place.
he cooked up a very kiwi curry (read extremely bloody mild) and we all bought beer and our very best poker faces.

seems some of us read the rules and some didnt - and some of us played a style of gin rummy that was effective.
in the end, nell won her own poker night - much to rhys and cossies disgust.
