Without doubt, one of the greatest pleasures in life for father is introducing his daughter to Iron Maiden. Some might think two-year olds wouldn't like heavy metal but they couldn't be more wrong.
When I come home in the evening Lily says "Daddy put your Iron Maiden tape on". Then she says "let's headbang!" Then we jump up and down on the spot for a while.
Jo just shuts the door and leaves us to it.

My Auction Fever
We're trying to buy a house! So we went to an auction yesterday. It was very exciting, like theatre with two auctioneers working the room. There were 27 houses for sale from all over the Christchurch area and two in Rolleston. We didn't buy anything but we put in a low bid, just for fun really. I made Jo do it.
You have to register beforehand and then the estate agent sits beside you and whispers in your ear. Ours is not too pushy which is good because and Jo and I weren't very interested unless it was very cheap indeed.
Which actually it was. Apparently the person who bought it has been sniffing around for months looking for a bargain and irritating all the estate agents by wasting their time. And his patience paid off. So good for him.
