Well my Daughter and her friend Shanelle's air flight landed safely in New Zealand and they are both staying at a hostel called " Nomads the fat camel" its cheap and hopefully clean , and the time difference is exactly twelve hours ahead of Great Britain.

She sent me a mobile number to call her on i checked with my call provider to check the rates , as it was it would be at a cost of £1.03 a minute , but with a bolt package for a extra payment on my contract of £2.99 a month it dropped down to 34p a minute with a nominated country i finally got it down to only 14p a minute which is not that bad.

Its been nice warm weather the last few days in Leeds with clear blue skies , i might have to buy a few disposable barbeque grills and start cooking in the garden on a evening with a glass of ice cold pear cider would be quite nearly heaven , just need a better view but hopefully we are working on that.
