When people are constantly risking dumping truckloads (building debris - plasterboard etc) and trailor loads (crusty lounge suites, mattresses etc) on beautiful rural roads (Kumeu - Woodhill area) rather than pay the tip fees!

Ha as an aside, i met a guy on Sunday - short dark hair, glasses, about 40-ish. He introduced himself as Terry from Tauranga, then told me he was into property. I asked him if he was TPR2 and he gave me a bit of a funny look... of course i said, "if you are, I'm princess" which made him give me an even stranger look. Guess it wasn't you huh.

lol.... I guess he would have been a little confused.
Sunday I was having coffee with Mike from here and later that day I slipped in a little culture in by going to a violin and piano recital called the color of sound played by 2 fantastic musicians from Switzerland.

So unless you were at either of those meetings it certainly wasn't I.

I would of course say hi if someone recognises me. The photo is from a year ago but I still look the same.

[princess]

Nup... it wasn't you.

Well I guess we don't have to but it would be nice too.
