The Guess Who "Takin' Care Of Business"

Commonwealth Games 2010

Throughout the past month our small little country has been taking part in the common wealth games. NewZealands rugby sevens team came home with the gold medal. I Bet Aussie was really sore about that. We also bet Aussie in netball it came down to a shootout. We also won the shot put with Valerie Veri definitely dominating it. I think we should continue with the games even if the kiwis won't get to host it.

PICTURES

These are some more great pictures.the flower is a manuka from Totaranui, the bird is a blue Robin or Tomtit and the last two pictures are of the lake at Lewis or Arthur's pass down south.

SPEECHS

Yesterday our syndicate held the speech finals in the library. We haven't been told who the two winners are. I hope that kezia and Max get to go to the championships.My speech was on ships. When I first saw myself on the srceen I thought I looked worse than old ''Grandma Goblin''. There was a huge variety of speech's at the finals. the two funniest would have to be Nick And Max's speech's, Nicks one was on his rather overweight cat Bilbo. The funniest part of Max's speech was when he said '' no unfortunately for me and maybe you in the future lake Air is as dry as Helen Clark's sense of humor''.

MORE PHOTOS!

Here are some more photos from my wonderful collection.
the first one is a 8 o'clock sunrise at Totaranui on a frosty winters morning.
The second image is a native Punga fern. The third one is looking down on the Totaranui inlet. and the last photo is looking down on Anapai bay from the Abel Tasman track.
