Gnorman meets Tim Shadbolt!

Doggitt and I had a good time, to meet and take Gnorman out to jalmac traders on Saturday where Janis let him feed out on lollies. I sent him to his bed afterwards with a sore tummy.

On Monday I took him up to prominent business and have obtained a promise of voucher from one.

Today I get pre meeting jitters, but once I got there, I was quite calm. Anusha and I chatted and took pictures of Gnorman in front of the council buildings, then we went inside and met up with Janis from Cancer Society. Had a short interview with her before we were called upstairs to the chambers.



Tim was his usual chatty comedy self and wrote a message in the book about missing Gnorma Jean, and aussies get everything from pavlova to Phar Lap.





He then donated a memorabilia book on the Worlds Fastest Indian booklet and then we placed Gnorman for a ride.




This will screen on Cue TV tonight 5.30pm and 9pm.
I have also included in emails several snapshots taken by hubby.

I’m now sending Gnorman on to toodley tomorrow morning and then he is going on to hezwez.
Overall I don't think it went too bad.

Gnorman has been sugar coated by Jalmac_Traders!







Update from Gnorman!

Arrive at Doggitt's safe and sound 7th March. Am left in the dam tin for several days while he gets his act together. He's either at work or on the internet. What the hell am I doing here?

9th of March, finally I am taken out of tin but I am left on the couch and the stupid bloody cat sleeps on me, grrrrr remind me not to stay here again!

12th March, we actually do something. A lovely day out on the Peninsula visiting the ancient mysterious Gnomish monument Brickhenge.






Brickhenge is just awesome and inspiring, how my fimo-clay ancestors managed to build such a structrure and why is well beyond me. We may never know. I told the local Gnomes about my mission around NZ to raise money for cancer research and they said "Why don't you sell Brickhenge then? None of us give a dam about it".... I may well do just that. I took some lovely photos and we had ice creams in Portobello. They tell me the South is cold but I don't know...

13th March, blimming hell it's freezing. Woke up to what looked like snow on the hills, IT'S THE MIDDLE OF MARCH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! Let me out of here!!

16th of March, haven't seen Doggitt for several days, he leaves early in the morning and comes home late at night, often smelling of alcohol, how he finds time to surf the net I will never know..

17th of March, thank the lord I am finally out of here, Doggitt has agreed to drive me to my next roundevouz in Invercargill. Hopefully they will be better company.

17th of March (again).. A fantastic drive down, all the way to Bluff for no good reason (other to look for oysters but no where seemed to sell them) and then the half hour drive back up to the Southern City of Invercargill. I am told I will meet the Mayor this coming tuesday!
