The Harwood Gazette: November 2008

About Me

Location: Harwood, Otago, New Zealand

Meet Anna and Tom. After their 50 metre yacht “The 中文聽說讀寫“ was destroyed by a tropical cyclone off the coast of McMurdo Sound, in the Ross Sea, both were washed up on a deserted beach near the isolated settlement of Harwood, NZ. With their bare fingernails they scratched a cave in the staggering cliffs where they sought refuge from harsh weather-conditions, native predators and the birdflu. On a Wednesday, shortly after the release of Coldplay’s third studio album, they gave birth to a wonderful love child called Eva-Louise. Ten years later and with the help of Wall Street investors they run the world’s smallest media network. Their story was the inspiration for several countless box-office hits (Titanic, The Blue Lagoon, Jaws I, II, III, VI, V and XIV, etc.).

Daily update

Hi,

A few decades have passed since we last updated our blog. And, oh dear, has the world changed since! We're all eating baked beans again after the global financial meltdown, Anna bought a new dining table - and why not - a 15 sq metre verandah, Obama got a pay rise (and so did I - though not as significant and without the extra's, such a two 747's to commute to work), ... and Eva turned three.

With a month's delay, here are some pics from Eva's birthday. The bottom left one shows Eva with her best friends from daycare: Ethan, Josh (a potential romantic interest), Kiara, Juliette (aka "Jiggadonell"), Neve, and a little squirt with an appetite for destruction called Harry.

Within a few weeks we're off to Queenstown, so you can expect a few more up-to-date pictures later on this month.

bye bye,

Anna & Tom

....and I alsmost forgot.... I finally got those 50.000 words down on paper and submitted them last monday.
