Bless the Irish

Yes, Ireland now has at least one person reading my blogs. I have been waiting for that. I was watching a programme on TV today about a guy searching out whales, dolphins and basking sharks. It looked like the Western coast and the villages were something out of a picture postcard. I would really like to visit one day.
Ireland has played a very important part in the European settlement of NZ and I suspect that we are welcoming many Irish tradespersons for the rebuild of Christchurch after the earthquake. If you are reading this, my Irish friends, then seek out advice from NZ house in London (You can put aside you old feelings about the British) so that you too can join us here in the 'shakey isles.' Ah be gone with ya----don't let those stories about the earthquakes get to you! We need you here and I'm damn sure that you would receive a real NZ Irish welcome.
Keep on reading my blogs or better still, go to my website and check out my books.

Russia, welcome back---I was wondering where you have been>

Yes, it's great to see Russia return to reading my blogs. I thought that maybe I had been a bit hard on Mr Putin. Just remember that I give the USA heaps too and also my own Government, but when good things happen I say that too. I have even been known to praise the actions of individual Cabinet Ministers in the NZ Government, like MRE Dunne for instance. I stick it too him a lot because he's a ''fence sitter'---you know, the MPs you get in coalition Governments. They dance with any partner, just to attain a share in the 'halls of power.' I'm sure you have them in Russia too. To be fare to Mr Dunne, he has been instrumental in achieving progress re the synthetic cannabis sales in corner shops in NZ. So, once again, welcome back my Russian friends and keep it up Mr Dunne. See, that wasn't so bad, was it?
