This was taken on the 27th December. The weather changes quickly here. There's a saying: If you don't like the weather in Auckland... wait five minutes.

The weather in Auckland today is bad. Very windy, drizzle and rain, stormy.
Here is a photo of us.

Boxing day in Auckland

Well, it's Christmas day in the workhouse. Well it was, and it still is in some parts of the world. Actually it's now boxing day and we've woken up to the sound of Prince of Persia on PS2. Joe is having an unusually long nap (sleeping off the Christmas excesses) and Tom and I have finished mowing, clipping and raking the front garden. (That bamboo is persistant)
I feel I am writing this to myself as no-one else has entered anything yet. Hopefully this new technology will reach the old world soon!

Carter family blog site gets created

This site was created on 24th October 2004. I'm not sure how it is going to be used yet, but I am thinking that it could be a means of communicating to various members of the family in the UK and New Zealand.

You can add to it: put your own messages and photos. We will be posting stuff here too.

At the moment I am just experimenting to see what can be done. How you make postings, change them, order them etc.
