Come 9th July, a very good friend of mine is off to Borneo to work as a Project Manager with Raleigh. Like all sensible people, Sarah has been blogging her build up to the trip, including the fund raising, thoughts, feelings and preparation required for such a trip.

Do waddle over and check out her blog here. And continue to check it regularly too!

I know I’m officially ‘going on about it’ now, but I really can’t wait for Outrageous Fortune Series 5 to start! I don’t think I’ve seen a TV show as good as this since The A-Team.

Here’s the ‘Coming Soon’ ad they’ve been playing on TV3:

Super choice!!

I mentioned a while back that we had gotten into Outrageous Fortune, since moving to West Auckland. For those of you who haven’t seen it, OF is about a family trying to go straight after living with crime in their DNA since, like forever. The show features an amazing cast (Ugly Betty fans may recognise one; Black Sheep fans may recognise another!) who put on a really good show, the scripts are excellent and the storylines cover just about every aspect of life. There are also a few local-to-us scenes and West Auckland mentions.

It’s just really darn good and we have become as close as is possible to being addicted to a TV show. We are about half way through series 4 and desperate to finish it before series 5 begins on TV3.

So imagine my delight when I found this yesterday:

Talk about timing! I reckon we’ll just finish Series 4 just in time… Go Westies!
