Safely in NZ
Sep. 20th, 2007 12:08 pmLoitering in Mum and Dad's lounge, reading and basking in sunlight... and taking advantage of their broadband which is now working :)
Got in around midnight last night, and managed to get through customs by a bit before 1am. Lugage was very overweight - by 24 kg. Little expensive, but the stuff is now over. It should be noted that NZ customs didn't let in Z's feather quills for calligraphy - even though they had been boiled previously and had been in and out of the country repeatedly. Apparently the rules were tightened earlier this year. People may need to watch real feather fletching on arrows going to and from Festival etc. Will be interesting to see how the ones being freighted go...
On more optimistic news, Daywatch and now (jsut started) Stardust are showing at local movie theatres. What are the good cheap movie theatres, special rates etc? Definitley want to get to see both of those movies sooner rather than later. Daywatch is the higher priority at present as it has been showing for longer. Anyone in the vicinity interested? This weekend? Or whenever the cheap deals are...
Still have about $20 left on my Aussie mobile phone that needs using up. Then need to work out a good cheap mobile phone deal for someone who only used the phone very occasionally, generally for emergencies and/or txting, and barely goes through $30 of credit in 6 months...
