Smoko break!

Sitting back, having a smoko break and a cuppa after a full days work.

 

Highway!

Here we are, on set for our show ….. Heading on the Highway.

Man I was looking for adventure, had my cowboy hat and my dances moves and a large coffee.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s me!

This is Kawakawa art, the green stuff is actual Kawakawa juice.

I am the ring master!haha just putting a hat on at the drama production.

 

Spring cleaning.

Been a lot of spring cleaning going on, the centre looks really bare, but it’s good. Looks nice and clean.

 

Aims games!

We got to go to Baypark to watch some basketball, as Tauranga is hosting the AIMS games. We watched a  game between a school from Glen Eden and Albany, two schools I had never heard of.

We also got a coffee from the cafe.

 

Bubbles!

What’s going on here?

Jo is trying to tempt me with bubbles, but I know better, hahah no bubbles on me.

 

Paper!

We went to the supermarket to buy aluminium paper, I was thinking purex would be better, but you know, toilet paper doesn’t have the same artistic look.

The three faces of coffee.

OMG it’s coffee!!

Mmm that smells soooo yum

“Sigh, that was a great coffee.”

 

Thai dying.

This was my paper mache’ creation, it was pretty cool, really sloppy but fun

And here I am tie dying, this was a sheet not an actual tie but you get the drift.

 

Fire engine

This is my winged fire engine made from wool and fabric, imagine being able to fly to fires.

Helping staff get the lunch orders correct, this is a crucial role and has to be done exactly!
 

Research!

This is my happy face, which I have after I play music on my stereo or use the computer, lately I have been researching Peppa pig, I wish I could do the voices, they are very funny.

Jenga!

I went to the drama production of Alice in Wonderland. It was very confusing, I even saw someone dressed up as a rabbit, great music though, good times, really enjoyed myself.

This is me contemplating the best move on Jenga. The trick is to get someone with steady hands to help cos when I do it, I smash it!!

 

It’s my birthday!

Happy Birthday to me, it’s my birthday!!

Here we are on the nature trail, looking at all the cool trees and shrubs we have near the centre.

 

Screwing!

 Being the nice man I am, I helped out the staff with screwing in the legs on a new heater. I’m in charge of knowing stuff, and boy do I know a lot..

Playing basketball with of the guys from Greerton Arohanui who came for a visit.

 

Working!

I have discovered Peppa Pig on YouTube, although I hide it when a staff walks past, clearly I am researching other stuff.

Drama, this week, in my producers chair. 

 

Shoes!

Did you know that there are at least five shoe shops at Bayfair, who would have thought that? With all sorts of shoes too … boots, gum boots, sneakers, loafers, slippers, jandals, sandals, sports shoes … so many. And this week was a sale. I now have to come up with a cunning plan in order to get new shoes. This is just but a start!

 

Singing!

DJ Afrikaan Adriaan

“When a man loves a woman!!”

 “On a hot summers night. You the words right out of my mouth.”

Out n about

Shopping at new world,

 Walk at Papamoa 

 

Supervising

Chatting with the locals

Supervising the IT man

 

IT and a helping hand.

Collecting the lunch order for our happy Friday! I ensure our food gets to the centre nice and hot,

YouTube is so exciting, I find lots of cool stuff to find.

 

Rockets and Wreaths!

This is a cool hand propelled air rocket.

Here is our wreath for Te Puke Anzac Day, the flowers are made from painted egg shell containers, and look cool as.

Here Sage is supervising me trying to stand on the foot air rocket, this one is amazing!

 

Library Moniter

One of the cool things I got up to this week was to go to the Te Puke library. I’m in charge of returning all the books, in exchange for a good story of course.

 

Spoonbill!!

I went to Maketu and in the estuary I spied a Spoonbill, see photo underneath. They are so new to New Zealand that the painted Conservation sign of shore bird on the  wall doesn’t even have them!

It flew away after this, it saw its girlfriend and they went away to have quality time.

 

Beethoven? No it’s Adriaan!

Composing a symphony. Watch out Motzart.

Here I am at the Te Puke Library, I looked for books on trucks and cars, found a cool one, also listened to some great stories being read out aloud.

 

Mmmmmm food.

One of the best things about helping my friends getting their lunch, is also eating it. YUM!!

Visited the local record shop, found a great cd. Going to play jt real loud at the centre.
