I've met quite a few All Blacks in my fairly short time in New Zealand and it's just dawned on me how little significance that is. It's kinda like meeting a former Wimbledon FC player - they're just regular people in so-called extraordinary positions.

There's a comedian in New Zealand who puts it best:

"Achievement solely in New Zealand is like being the World's Tallest Dwarf; not important in the grander scale of things..."

Finished laying the floor in the kitchen today, very impressed with my work. I showed Clare and she picked holes in it. I'm not too sure whether I'm generally being a grump or if she has been particularly difficult recently, but since I came off my tablets (docs orders 'cos of the side effects) I have noticed that my temper has returned with a vengence.

I've asked Clare to keep notes and we'll mention it when we return to the doctor, I don't really want to get back to starting random fights with people.

I had Molly all day today, she's so funny. She has taken the box that Aloise's new pram came in and cut window holes in it so she has her own little house. She keeps taking the cats in with her - who are understandly not as impressed...

Molly decided to dress me in a "Nappy Hat". She thinks I'm a shithead.
