[ranonranonarat]

holy crab (pardon the pun), the one that came out of the mussel gave me the damn goosebumps!

[tg76]

[tg76]

[ranonranonarat]

.

I would notice, cuz I believe that I am next in line for receiving them. I still have to make sure they will fit. I expected you to have more of a cuff than you do, so either you are taller than I thought or the pants are shorter

.

[tg76]

im 5'11" ...

i will measure them when i find my tapemeasure

[sybaritical]

Thought Jimmy C & Ordo were next?

I unno.

[tg76]

i thought jimmy c was next too but then i remembered...

not sure where we are on these but I'm going to Mysore India the first of September for 6 weeks. Would love to take my turn there if at all possible.

jimmy - we all be delighted to see the jeans on your legs **** You shall have them by the end of August..

btw - did they arrive at the next stop ?

who knows, this tour is random as

[jimmyc]

I'm back from India but still willing to take a turn. Ordo will have to go after me because according to him " I only wear jeans (jimmyc) gives to me"

I'm ready!

[tg76]

missed lots of stuff cause sometimes i have senior moments and forget things

so i masked and painted the cockpit, here i am pulling off the mask, which just to piss me off hadnt worked perfectly

and i put carbon on my boat too, here i am peeling the peelaplie off it

and here i am in the very messy part of mr's garage mixing resin

and here i am brushing it on

and here i am putting on more peelaplie

and here i am squeegeeing the excess out

then i went and had a cup of tea and read mr's magazine, which he looked at the cover then looked at the jeans and finally got it

and ate some fudge a friends wife made

now its too hot to do anything so im going out the back to lie under the oak tree and have a wee nap

[beatle]

loving your leg of the tour, ladyTG

[patchmb]

Great outdoor life you have there in NZ.

Yup, the perfect lifestyle. Especially including that nap. This leg of the tour is on fire!

[fardin]

TG your posts are among the very best i have seen here on sufu period, always enjoying them. the boat is beautiful.

[tg76]

back to that nap

here under the shady tree

then i made like a good little woman and did the vacuuming

and a late night coat of resin

[tg76]

its a drizzly day

heres the view from my house

ill take you on a walking tour of over there soon

first i just have to kill jb

you have all noticed my outdoors life

well

here is a taste of the shops around here

actually the last one is ok but im on a diet so im hating on it as well

heres the mariner, mr and i quite often come for walks down here after tea

and this is lottie, i have photos somewhere of me with long blonde hair, down to my waist, climbing on her along time ago

[tg76]

waka (waka and wave is proppa order of things)

me doing a solo wave (10)

just incase anyone feels like stalking me

my house, mr's house well the top of his oak and maple trees in red, back packers in blue, bloody steep windy street in yellow, fulla i went on a date with last summer in green (awkward)

[beatle]

darn Tg, lovely place ...and btw - those jawns fit you great

[aho]

tg has the most ideal lifestyle I've seen on sufu ever alongside miz...

[tg76]

trotted off to the west coast for the day

its 1 hour to the west coast 25 minutes to the east from my place (not counting the harbour coming into right in front of me)

was visiting a friend over there

this is the view from one of her look outs

and me trying to get cell cover so i can txt mr i got here safe

view from second look out, first one is back behind that pine tree, her place(s) is down in between them and back up through the gully

her bach (nz beach house, traditionally quite rustic)

and her other place

and a shed inbetween with a whale bone

her dad turned the old water tank into a spa

you light the fire and heat this side

and when it gets too hot you open the gate and mix the cold side in

proppa posh... even has its own toilet

these are protected buildings and can not be developed out of character

[tg76]

unofficial street signs

pizza she made for lunch

under the lookout

the beach stretches for miles with occasional points or heads along it with a couple of harbour breaks (i posted pics of it from the air ages ago)

cliff hanger..

funky as cafe oi

also went for a swim but not in the jeans as the surf lifesavers would have beaten me up

then went to my dads for a swim in his pool and his birthday feast of fresh schnapper but i was out of film

[tg76]

had lots of stuff to do today but i lazed around reading then spent a couple of hours in the garden

first i repotted a lilly

then i moved up to my little patch of self sufficiency

i dont normally wear pink kitchen gloves out here but ive got blisters from sanding

did lots of hoeing and turning of bone dry rock hard soil

the ground has huge cracks in it cause we had a bit of a drought

but i had an excess of silverbeet so ive been laying it down round the plants i actually like to protect the soil... im making it all up as i go along but it seams to be working

2 weeks to go till i post these on (2 weeks till i get payed)

ill try and get some decent evo shots and give them a measure tomorrow

[beatle]

nice spa..I bet that gets a lot of tourists to calm down form the stress of their work life..

[tg76]

the tourists are all back inland a bit at the lakes being all la de dah,,, ill be going there once the kayaks are finished for a weekend hopefully

[illumin8em]

It is amazing NZ with your posts and that fella theotherchrislewis who i think is traveling round the south island. Awhile ago I read that your area is quite an art community. Is the large sculpture for Lottie Lyell?

[tg76]

today they lay around so i could measure them

found a yard stick so i didnt have to piss around converting (this was my grandfathers and it is really nicely made, im surprised my grandmother gave it to me)

of course the saus came to help

found what she was trying to get, poor little baby, i saved it and put it in a spot of the garden with lots of bugs

and the measurements are....

waist 33

across widest part/ level with crotch 48

inseam 32

front rise 11

back rise 15.5

[tg76]

and because i like talking to myself

some evo pics

who wore them uncuffed?

these dont do anything other than look cool, i tighten them they hold for 30 seconds

washed off and missing?

some nice bright blues popping through to the back

[sybaritical]

Oops me & twids we neglected to sign them oops.

[poly800rock]

i never signed it either.

how long is this journey?
