Todd and I managed to get away for a night to Stanmore Bay. We started off with a quiet and relaxing drink tasty and dinner at Thai Chef restaurant in Albany.
Then we had the rest of the night and the next day to explore the beach and area around Stanmore Bay. It is amazing how a wee break away like this revives your senses.
Could definitely see this being a great wee holiday place over summer, but have to win the ballot for it first. Maybe next summer...
The holiday house looked out over the beachfront - just a perfect location!
I took Nicola and Cameron to the Rugby World Cup fanzone - an experience that will only be available once in a blue moon as this is the first time since 1987 that NZ has hosted the Rugby World Cup.
It was well organised with kids activities and a beaut day to top it off.

Looking out over Albany's lake with the countries flags waving in the gentle breeze across the bridge,
and listening to the bands play before the big semifinal was viewed on the big screen, just priceless (and literally, it was all free!).

I was lucky enough to win some new technology this month- a Motorola Xoom (a tablet like an iPad). We have been having fun setting this up and seeing all the wonders that this new technology can bring. Cameron has turned out to be our family techno buff - any queries technology-wise and he is the boy to ask. This boy is so clever, he has solved many a problem. Cameron has downloaded an application for photo art and has made some interesting and fun photographs - here's a selection:
