OK – this is weird! From todays NZ Herald
Most people are keen to stay out of the pooh, but not some foolhardy Motueka swimmers and kayakers.
Motueka Community Board is having to warn swimmers to stay out of its sewage ponds.
Chairman Cliff Satherley said board members were “flabbergasted” at the discovery.
“We couldn’t believe it. It defies logic.”
The ponds are fenced and locked but Tasman District Council staff reported finding people kayaking, swimming and picnicking in the area, he said.
Mr Satherley said the ponds looked almost like a scenic area but the signs, fencing and occasional smell should be enough to keep people away.
“You’d think common sense would prevail.”
The council would erect more signs at the site.

It’s been a week of vomit this week – yay 
A virus (possibly the one that I had in Sydney) has done the rounds, thankfully missing Vic out.
Max started it off earlier in the week with horrible diarrhoea and generally feeling crook. I got him out of bed Wednesday morning and he’d exploded out of his nappy and all through his bed – that was fun to clean up at 05:45 in the morning! I think he was more upset about it than me though. His one and only vomit was on Thursday and luckily I had a feeling it was going to happen and managed to get a bowl This was after he’d woken up at about 22:00 saying “me sore tummy” and wanting to have a cracker to eat. After that he seemed to perk up a bit which was just in time for it to hit Elliot.
Elliot had it hit him slightly differently in that he’s been vomiting a lot more (and with no warning) but has been shitting a lot less. Fri/Sat/Sun he bought up the entire contents of his stomach about twice a day and usually after a really heavy feed to give him some ammo He hasn’t thrown up today so fingers crossed……..
Other than that things are well.

Well I got back home on Friday and haven’t stopped since!
Sydney was OK. I got a bout of food poisoning on the plane (probably before) and spent the next 15 hours shitting, shaking and sweating! The fever broke about five in the morning and so I started my presentation skills course with a five minute videotaped presentation and 90 minutes sleep…. yay
After five days I got home and, man, what a change in Elliot. His whole face seemed to have changed shape. Now I see what my mother means when she only sees him once a week.
In kiddy news Max and Elliot had their first bath together on Saturday night. Max was absolutely fantastic with Elliot and spent most of the time pouring water over him out of a bottle. Here they are….

I leave in a couple of hours for 5 nights away doing Wellington-Sydney-Auckland-Wellington for work. Updates will be sporadic at best (like they’re not already!)
Hopefully Vic will be OK but if not then she has plenty of support to call on. She won’t read this for a couple of days so remember I love you baby and I’ll be home soon.
