It's a hell of a lot colder today, it has't felt this cold for about a week (wish it was summer though).
Maz just found out that she missed Auckland Photography Day (it was on June 6th) and she really wanted to take part this year in the competition. Oh well looks like it will have to wait another year.
This afternoon Maz made some yummy pikelets for Tina, Russell and the kids this afternoon (yes she was nice to the little kiddies & didn't hiss). And no need to pass out, Maz has not had kids while you've been gone, the kids are Tina & Matt's.
She (Maz) has also fallen in love with the most awesome looking shoes...WANT! Peter Pan Style Ankle Detail Shoe...*sigh*. Check them out here
