So darling loved ones..




Not much to report this weekend. Vodka on Fri night and a bottle of Moet later...I crashed. Went up north for a drive on Sat through lots of lovely English villages all with little schools and thathed roof houses. Really quaint and quite beautiful. I desided to ignore the fact it was FREEZING and gray as hell, and wore my sunnies all day. Went shopping and went mad...my wardrobe grows by the minute and the thought that eventually I will have to put it all in a suitcase scares me to tears. Today I had a lovely quite day...the first I have had yet in nearly 2 months (on Wed in fact), and did lovely girly things like dying my hair and pottering about. Rather nice. Have just finished watching The Notebook with my flatmate so now I look a treat with delightful swollen red eyes and puffy cheeks. Got to the point I was no longer quietly tearful I was a blubbering mess. Charming. So yes - nothing much changed there still as hopelessly romantic as always...have a big weekend next week with a huge Ad crew in town from home and FINALLY I get to see Rosita.

Other news I am off to Barcelona in a month for 4 days to stay on a boat with Brooke and Sarah yeeeeeeeeeeha!!!! That will be carnage, if the phone conversations of squealing down the line are anything to go by. Staying on a boat with any member of the Menzie family would be interesting enough, let alone in Spain. So that I am looking forward to - can't wait to see a really close mate. YAY!!!!

Anyway nun nies now. Hope you are all well. I love you so very much and am sening you kisses and cuddles and warm fuzzies. See??? Attractive I know...it was late and I had been to the gym.

Love me xxxxoooo

Paris into Powys.






Hey all,

Hope all is well thought you'd find this amusing...

Here's how my delightful trip to Paris turned into a weekend in Powys Wales.

Oh dear lord! I tell you was suppose to be going to Paris this
weekend...so off I went my suitcase filled with beautiful dresses, to
Waterloo station on Fri night. To find out there had been a fire on
the line and all trains were cancelled. So I rang Rosita who was at
Amsterdam airport and let her know, she couldn't change her flight so
had to go anyway. So there I am poor Rosita stuck in Paris alone, me
stranded at Waterloo with no way out!!! So I started to cry (as you
do) and made my way home. I couldn't get a flight out for less than
300 squids and the next train wasn't till Sunday morning. Obviously I
was gutted! And I feel soooooooooooo bad bout Rosita we spoke loads on
the phone though and she was ok. bout it..not much either of us could
do gutted!! Especially since I had swatted up on speaking French, had
a whole lot of Euros and had been listening to the Amelie soundtrack
all week!!! I felt like a true Londoner when I came home cursing about
the Bloody London transport system. Urhhhhhhhhh anyway... my friends
Mel and Stu were off to Stu's dad's pub in Powys and I desided to jump
in the car and go too. Thank gosh, I think London would of done my
head in knowing I could of been in France!!!!!!


After a whole lot of drinks on Fri night we hoped in the car and
headed outta London on sat morning. After an hour getting out of the
city Mel relised she had left her wallet at home so we had to turn
around and go get it. 6 hours later we arrived in Powys, Wales. It was
just like NZ the country side and so nice to see blue sky after all
this time. The pub was in a village that only had a school and a shop
and was sooooooooo cute!!! Stu's step mum to be, had made us each 5
sausages, massive amounts of mashed Potato, peas and carrots which I
had to eat not to be rude.. when we arrived (yes go the heathrow
injection) I could hardly breathe!!! The coolest thing was we got to
see pub life from a whole other angle. I watched in the kitchen how
they did all the grub and then we went and hung at the cute bar for
the night. ahhhh so relaxing. This morning I went with Stu's dad to
the top of the hill which had 360 views of Wales on one side England
on the other sooooo cool!!! And lots of little lambs and it snowed
too!!!!! Bliss.

Spent the day in Oxford today (Em, you will LOVE IT!) and then 6 hours
later cause there were two accidents we got back to London.

Here I am now, back home full as hell (still) and ready for another
mad mad week.

Crazy crazy times. Hope you are all well and life in NZ is sweet as
ever. I miss you all heaps and love hearing from you when you email
(some of you are better than others!!)

Anyway here's some pics happy days. xxxxoooo

Bonjourno.




Well I am lying in my new bed...of my new flat... on my new duvet. Have to say lovely to have my own space rather scary too as I am now commited to London for a bit. I am living with 2 other kiwi girls...Angela and Sarah. In Brixton (yes it is scary). They are great and we managed to turn a very boys flat into a chick one very fast.

Yesterday was a nightmare no hot water tap...a whole lot of stuff left from the previous flat including porn under the mattresses..stuff was broken blah blah...and it didn't help I had been out to the wee hours and was not that well. Mmmm. A huge crew went out to Soho on Fri night from the agency back home...enough said really. So we had the boys round fixing stuff using screw drivers, lifting etc..I was quite easily settled as I literally had a suitcase, ha sweet.

Today went to St Pauls, amazing the choir was singing as it is sunday and we lit a candle and did the whole thing. Very sweet.
A definate highlight...that and my brand new pretty, pretty dress from New York a friend gave me along with a MOMA journal weee pressies! I would send a pic of me in it but that just went to Mum as it is early in the morning and I have bed hair, a hang over and socks on...not so becoming.

heres some pics from the weekend...friday night and a bean...oxford st, my new room...must sleep now.

Love you all miss you heaps!! Hope all is good in Nz.

Lib xxxxoooo

London moments.

Funny chatting in the weekend about how you have these "moments" when you go WOW I AM IN LONDON. They happen outta no where and I have to say I quite like them. The world stops for a minute. Classic example. This morning walking in the sun to walk, I remember dreaming when I was about 15 of me in the big wide world..boots on, coffee in hand, paper under my arm....and there I was, standing outside work... the me I imagined. I started to laugh at the utter walking cliche I am. In this absolutely hilarious world of advertising. The lift filled with the most beautiful people...you have to laugh...everyone pretending they are in some kinda Mel Gobson romantic comedy.

Truly brilliant and very funny.

Hey all, you are gonna have to excuse the way I am writing tonight I am absolutely buggered but thought I'd do the weekly update for the whanau. Wicked weekend...balloons and japanese on Friday night with a big crew... Went to a really beautiful part of London on Sat. Pink blossoms in the trees, beautiful italian coffee, a very cool photography exhibition and a rainbow later we had a few beers and headed home. Lots of vodka again...me and my balloon headed out to Balham for the night. Beautiful. Now I very, very sore...had a lovely day today. But oh the head now. Lots of calls from NZ this weekend, so wicked to hear those familar voices I love you so very much. Lots of my friends are coming home over the next while..seems everyone is London knows someone who is getting married over there. Ahhh sometimes I wish I was just a little flight away to give you all a quick squeeze. Ok I have to go now...I am falling asleep xxxxoooo I love you like bees love honey.
