Tweet tweet

Yes, this technophobe has finally given in and joined Twitter...... I've had an account for awhile but I've never used it, but everyone at work is on Twitter so I thought, why not? I'm on Facebook and Blogger already, so I might aswell. What a cool little tool! I'm now following New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key, a bunch of my favourite authors: Diana Gabaldon, Paullina Simons, Nicholas Sparks, oh, and the world's most gorgeous rugby player, All Blacks Captain Richie McCaw! It's quite exciting :)

So follow me if you like... not too sure how it all works yet and my tweets may or may not be interesting, but hey, why not?

Busy, busy times and a little bit of Paul Henry

Hi all, can't believe it's been a week since I last posted! How slack of me! I guess that's what happens when life gets totally overloaded with work, winter sickness, overseas visitors and a busy social life.
But I'm back, still struggling my way through Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. God it's hard. But I'm hoping to finish at least one of the two books I'm reading by the end of next week because I'm sooo keen to get into my latest purchases.
And what better time of the year to get into some good books than the middle of winter when there's snow on the hills and a nice cozy fire inside.

So, guess what's on the New Zealand bestseller list at the moment... Paul Henry's memoir, What Was I Thinking.

Now I know most of you reading are not from New Zealand, so here is a little insight into Paul Henry.

He's new Zealand's most controversial broadcaster. He has been in the media for years, and has climbed up the ranks to breakfast television, from which he recently resigned after a series of deliberate racist jokes which caused an international uproar. One included making fun of Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit. Here is the video.

Another one included him asking our Prime Minister John Key if our Governor General Anand Satyanand is in fact a New Zealander and if the next Governor General will actually be a kiwi. Here is that video.

I met him a couple of weeks ago when he was doing his book tour and in my opinion, he's gutsy and is just saying what everyone else is thinking. But I'll let you make up your own mind...
