Boom, chicka ....

Has this ad hit the states? An attractive lady in a grocery store looks at a pleasant store clerk and begins to dance rather provoctavie manner while intoning what sounds like "Boom, chicka wow wow," much to the clerks amusement; he it turns out is wearing a particular brand of cologne that apparently causes women to act like this (she was pushing an older lady in a wheel chair at the beginning of the ad, and pushes her away before beginning her dance). Well, the tv programming otherwise is a mix like the states. We have just signed up with Sky TV - a satellite service that Emily was thrilled to find has as one of its channels the Disney Channel. The painter has finished his work at our house and the floor guys started working today and will be coating the hardwood floor with three coats of polyurathene and Friday the electrician will finish wiring things like the new hot water cylinder and the hob (ceramic cook top), with plenty of plugs (sockets). Then we have a busy week end devoted to moving in. Joseph is in camp near Christchurch in the South Island all week - comes home Sunday evening. It is sponsored by the Quakers. Emily is in a day camp each day this week, sponsored by the YWCA. It rained really hard yesterday and dad and Emily got soaked on the way to the car. There has been some thunder yesterday and today. Temperature in the 60's. There are magnificent blooming trees all around town. Spring has begun. Thank you for reading this. Manford
