Hi guys n gals. Thanks for watchin'!

Zaya: You found out my little secret; I hand-whittle olives in my spare time. It just helps to keep my eye in for carving rounded shapes. As the head of the Tama Trading Co, I employ a small team of 'extra virgins' to help me... :lol:

Actually, apart from TamaPoutini being my schmoosey way of ingratiating myself with the local taniwha/monster (who protects the pounamu), it is a play on my middle name, Tamatea.

Benella: Again, a bit of a radical in NZ, Im not really all that interested in rugby (blasphemy) so didnt catch the game. Dare I ask who won?
I plan to watch this weekends game of All Blacks Vs Wales, only because I have my Welsh mate staying & he does follow the sport (& its just so funny watching a man who supports a team that has never won a game against the AB's, heehee)

Yes, Im sure little Kenna is going to be proud to have her very own Hei-tiki: might get a few orders from school -save up your lunch money kids, haha

Benz: Yep, thats Johnny Knoxville twisting through the air after a trip to an exploding toilet or something just as stupid. Have you seen those guys? I was a little late in catching up. Madness...

Gman: Im torn with Kennas tiki: Do I make it really special or listen to the inner voices saying, 'she could lose it/break it/sell it/swap it on the first day? heehee. No, it will be a nice one. I trust that she knows the preciousssnesss of them by now.

*Big bowl of spinach for breakfast; I y'am what I y'am, arf arf!

Good to hear you check in so often Gman. You obviously dont have a boss looking over your shoulder. Mine has just come in with a look upon her face that says 'what the hell is this? doesnt look like work to me'

Better get back to it. Not sure if there will be anything to show today. A fair bit of toggling/plaiting/packaging/posting to do.

And after that, the Extra Virgins and I have a huge order of olives to carve. Its hell I tell ya!
