About Me


UPDATED 2 January 1998

                         Thin Sword o-[---------------

Hi there, well now that you've decided to look in here I may as well have
something to show for it! :)
My home is in Dunedin which is in the lower South Island of New Zealand.
I am a 37yr old mother of two and loving wife of my charming husband(Thor). We
own and use an 486 DX250 but we still have and use on occasion an Atari STE
computer with a 850mb h/drive. My job description includes: Full time mother/
wife/home executive, and part time (fully qualified) hairdresser and computer
enthusiast.

Well here is our family portrait... Yep that's me and Thor with our daughter
Leyanna and wee son Joshua. :)
This was taken in 1994 so it's pretty much outdated but I am working on getting
a new pic in here. (one year.. *sigh*) :)

My pets include three cats: Tiger(a fifteen year old male tabby, he
unfortunately lost his back right leg, but now is coping very well without it),
Sandy(a white with grey patches male who gets a bit agro every now and then)
and Sooty(a fifteen year old black female who unfortunately has some sort of
claustrophobic tendencies, very weird), Three goldfish(no names) and last but
by no means least a big black billy goat called Midnight or Middy for short(he
is sporting a siseable pair of horns now and can be a niggly beast). :)

Pet Update: Approx Sept 22 1996
*Sad News* :(

We now only have two cats, Sandy and Tiger, Sooty has been missing for six
months now is presumed dead :( or residing eleswhere, I hope the later is true
at least.

Our pet goat, Middy has died.

*Sad/happy*

Our poor old cat Tiger has since died, before xmas. His muscle's were wasting
away as he only had three legs, he couldn't walk around anymore and the kindest
thing to do was to have him sadly put down! :'(

Now for the happy news, we have now aquired to loveable and very cute kittens,
both tabby and white colourings. These were an xmas gift from a friend who
needed a good home for them! While we still have Sandy cat these two new
additions were most welcome indeed! :)


                                       
                         * In Memory of a loved Pet *

DATE: Sunday 22 September 1996

Will be getting a piccy to put here at some stage.


Our Middy died today,
I am feeling quite sad,
An attack by dogs gone astray,
An untimely death, I am quite mad.

Poor Middy he was in the right,
Sleeping peacefully and in his shed,
Why did those dogs come in the dark of night,
He had so much life, but not now... he's dead.

His thick black coat all bristly and long,
and horns that were getting so big and had quite a kick,
his ornery habits were known, and he'd gotten so strong,
to think his life ended this way, so sad, I feel sick,

If pet owners took a little more care,
to control their wandering animals that night,
Middy would still be here,
the vet could only do what's right,
to shorten his suffering, that was too long, I fear.
He will surely be missed, that wild animal sight,
For Middy the goat, the price was to dear,
the children will miss him, and so will we.. I want to cry..
...yes I just might! :`(
