The funniest bit was playing jump-rope with a blue broken washing lineIn some ways my week was as exciting as ever, Rihanna, Chris Brown and Stevie Wonder were there, so were the NZ Breakers basketball team. Halloween swept the city offering me invites to 16 themed parties. An old school buddy got married, 1 good party friend left the country bound for a new life in Dubai. There were birthdays, bbqs, big launches and of course the AB's had a good win. But it was me fully falling for a former flame, again, that has me muddled to the max.To look a closer look at what went on last week. CLICK HERE! |
