Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, Yes, indeed, you are
- 0:07Speaker 1: the author of your story, of your journal. In this journal,
- 0:11Speaker 1: you will get to know yourself better, and who better
- 0:14Speaker 1: to get.
- 0:15Speaker 2: To know, dear general the chaos of the season. A
- 0:18Speaker 2: concert this week was lovely but didn't help we's sleep,
- 0:21Speaker 2: not to mention that, despite our best efforts, we have
- 0:23Speaker 2: two three year old sleeping in our bed at the moment.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Our five year old slipped over at athletics yesterday and
- 0:28Speaker 2: that produced a fair amount of disappointment. Jason, who loves
- 0:31Speaker 2: the countdown, reminds us of the rival of Christmas, and
- 0:34Speaker 2: Tony updates us with her decorating and her latest Christmas bark.
- 0:37Speaker 2: The pressure is on. Christmas parties are approaching, and as
- 0:40Speaker 2: much as I want to partake, I like to arrive
- 0:42Speaker 2: to summer looking like I've stepped off the cover of
- 0:44Speaker 2: a men's health magazine, not like the leaflet on cholesterol
- 0:47Speaker 2: in the doctor's waiting room.
- 0:49Speaker 3: Leave that to us. We gotcha.
- 0:51Speaker 2: We are having Where are we having?
- 0:53Speaker 3: Christmas?
- 0:54Speaker 2: What house? Who's there? And what are we bringing? Who's
- 0:57Speaker 2: getting what for the kids' presence? And what about the car?
- 1:00Speaker 2: Christmas is just over a month away, but I know
- 1:04Speaker 2: that if I don't start now, I'll turn up to
- 1:05Speaker 2: Christmas a disorganized, disappointing wreck. The only problem is right now,
- 1:10Speaker 2: all I want to do is have a sleep. Mary
- 1:12Speaker 2: November Everyone forty days on Christmas.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Do you have a pleenty of time? Hi, journal? I
- 1:17Speaker 3: like to prepare for things. I've heard some people say
- 1:19Speaker 3: that if you fail to prepare, they're prepare to fail,
- 1:21Speaker 3: and I think there's something in there. But I also
- 1:23Speaker 3: like to believe in being flexible when plans change or
- 1:25Speaker 3: you need to pivot, and sometimes it's good to keep
- 1:27Speaker 3: things interesting when life throws you the odd surprise. I've
- 1:30Speaker 3: always been a fan of Coldplay songs, but the thought
- 1:32Speaker 3: of going to one of their sold out shows thinking
- 1:34Speaker 3: also made me think of all sorts of excuses not to.
- 1:36Speaker 3: It was a school night, I get up at three
- 1:37Speaker 3: point thirty. The logistics of getting a babysit are getting
- 1:40Speaker 3: from my semi rural some might call it sprawling resorts
- 1:42Speaker 3: style homes to and from the wonderful Eaton Park, New
- 1:45Speaker 3: Zealand Stadium. It'll seemed a lot, but I remember how
- 1:48Speaker 3: much I love going to Eaton Park and how much
- 1:49Speaker 3: of a fan of Coldplay I am and encouraged by
- 1:51Speaker 3: my friends Tony and Sam. We made it a wonderful
- 1:53Speaker 3: team event, took our better halves and had the best time.
- 1:56Speaker 3: Song after song. I was swept up and the show
- 1:58Speaker 3: they put on was more amazing than anyone can tell you.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Sometimes the best lessons come from saying yes instead of
- 2:03Speaker 3: maybe next time, So embrace the unexpected and live fully
- 2:06Speaker 3: in the moment.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Jase, I love that and Coldplay was amazing And I
- 2:10Speaker 4: have actually got a pretty similar themed journal today, not
- 2:12Speaker 4: about cold Blaye, but about another event that we had
- 2:14Speaker 4: this week. Oh gosts its event season, isn't it? It
- 2:17Speaker 4: ain't gonna slow down? Oh dear journal. Gosh, it felt
- 2:20Speaker 4: cool to dress up this week for the races. I
- 2:22Speaker 4: was so impressed with the standard of dress and Canterbury.
- 2:24Speaker 4: The amount of effort everyone went to to assessize their
- 2:27Speaker 4: outfits was so impressive. The best Dressed winner, Gemma, went
- 2:30Speaker 4: to the extent that she painted both her bag and
- 2:33Speaker 4: her shoes to make sure she had the perfect shade
- 2:35Speaker 4: of pink to match her homemade dress. That is going
- 2:38Speaker 4: the extra mile and it wasn't massively expensive because it
- 2:41Speaker 4: was all diy and as Kiwi's I don't think we
- 2:44Speaker 4: really do the whole dressing up thing very often do we.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Don't get me wrong, I like our casual, laid back
- 2:49Speaker 4: nature for lots of things, but I do think we
- 2:51Speaker 4: could up our game just a wee bit when it
- 2:53Speaker 4: comes to special occasions. There still seems to be this
- 2:56Speaker 4: underlying feeling of not wanting to stand out too much,
- 3:00Speaker 4: not wanting to look showy or too left field. But
- 3:02Speaker 4: at the races, I didn't see that for once. I
- 3:04Speaker 4: saw individuality. I saw vibrant colors and lots and lots
- 3:08Speaker 4: of effort. We only have one life, one chance to
- 3:11Speaker 4: have fun, and I reckon we should do it more.
- 3:12Speaker 2: No. Absolutely. The only catch that is, though, if me
- 3:15Speaker 2: and Jason go doo, we will stand out a.
- 3:21Speaker 3: We stap of our weeks. Hopefully you've had a really
- 3:23Speaker 3: nice one on Either way, you're weak, it is even better.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Thanks for listening.
