last day in aukland city
its 5.15pm 25th sept and i have sent birthday wished to my niece carly its her 18th birthday today but she probably hasnt woken up yet!!
its pete last day at his 'essentially men' thing, he comes back exhausted but appears to be 'experientially' getting a lot out of it, from my perspective the fact that this sort of event happens, then out of it the men are invited to mcarry on meeting up a part of an ongoing support network, has to be a good thing for women and children
apparantly men are 'signposted' to go by other men who've done it, brothers, uncles, other family members, workmates, counsellors, Relate and so on........... men who know about it or who have done it... what a way to network and spread the word and for men to take a responsiblility for the personal growth and development of other men
thats a view we are getting from the organisations we have visited here that are doing violence prevention work with men, the men who are doing feel its theirs and other men's responsiblities to support and challenge other men not to be abusive... theres some great stuff happening here and w ehave already packed up and posted a box of resources
so today i have been very cultural ... been to see some more short documentaries and to the art gallery, and had some dunkin donuts
weather has been mainly bright and sunny, when it rains here its likea tropical downfall, the heavens open
tomorrow we leave Takapuna beach to head up north, i want to stand at the tip of the island
im sure pete will blog when he has recovered from his essentally men weekend
its odd to be in spring here while its autumn at home
another odd thing........theres loads of japanese kids here studying, this email place is full of em playing computer games
they call hiking tramping here, and we saw a group of school boys running barefoot in driving rain (imight have already told you this) but apparantly going barefoot is a kiwi thing
lots of sushi places.... yukkkkkk
im will blog when i can
love
sue

However, new VW head Martin Winterkorn was not pleased with the Golf VI’s design and rescheduled the 2008 Geneva Show premiere of the car. He is said to have ordered a complete redesign. The latest addition to Golf’s long lineage seems due for launch sometime in the later months of 2008. According to Hackenburg, the new Golf will utilize an updated version of Audi’s current 160Hp 1.8 Litre plus an amazing Volvo Fog Light and other VW accessories. Turbocharged FSI mill, most likely with a GT badge, as word suggests that VW plans halting the production of the 170Hp 1.4TSI motor due to reliability problems.The Golf VI GTI is likely to use an upgraded version of the current 2.0 TFSI motor. An SUV variant of the Golf is rumoured to be planned for introduction in the new lineup.
