Cricket, Shopping and Rehearsals oh my!

What a great weekend to be a cricket fan in Aotearoa! Not one but TWO thrashings of our dearly beloved neighbours - Australia. I would be the first to admit that I can't stand Cricket when a test match is on (snore, yawn etc) BUT when the matches are one day annihilations - well it just doesn't get much better - so to the Black Caps - Congratulations on Winning the Chappel/ Hadlee Cup in such style and bring on The World Cup!

On Saturday had great fun taking Mum out on a shopping Extravaganza - there is nothing like 2 Leathwick ladies when it comes to hitting the shops - our credit cards are both reeling but a wonderful time AND we got to see The Queen Mary 2 on her maiden round the world voyage - man that thing is HUGE - half of Auckland also went to see her but Auckland put on a beautiful day and we did ourselves proud.

Also (of course) rehearsals yesterday for the one and only Grease! Getting a bit fraught with only 18 days to go (as we kept getting reminded by our dear director) but we will definately get there - the show already has some fantastic highlights with Greased Lightning sure to bring down the house! AND I get to even shake my booty to that same number in the finale - woohoo!!!

Also last night went to the Dress Rehearsal of The Amorous Ambassador at Dolphin - whilst not really my sort of show must admit to having quite a few giggles and even some good old belly laughs - so if "farce" is your thing go and check it out!

Anyway that is me for today - have a superb day - Heroes tonight on TV! (Monday is one of the few nights I actually have no rehearsals at the moment) and of course NAPTA this weekend - but more about that later - oh and counting down to The Oscars! My what an exciting time! Ciao
