Natasha was diagnosed with shingles. See timeline


Natasha has joined her school's netball team. This a proud moment for us as its shows Tasha's desire to push herself in spite of her restrictions.


Netball is a very physical game, the running and jumping gives us hope that she may well be on her way to recovery. Unfortunately it clashes with swimming (Saturday morning), so now we need to look for Sunday swimming lessons as there's no way she could cope with both sports on the same day.


Tasha was playing on the Monkey Bars when she fell off onto her wrist. It broke a bone and now she's in a cast. That's Netball and Swimming finished for now. Read more in Timeline


Here's Tasha with our $20 single shrimp. The most expensive shrimp we've had the mis-fortune to purchase. We went shrimp fishing, it cost $20 for 3 of us and in 1/2 an hour we caught one!!!. The next two is Tasha and Alex in the public hot foot pools in Rotorua. It has Tasha just after getting in, then 20 secs later, the heat of the pool made her nose bleed. Her constant nose bleeds, at least once a day, is getting worrying. The last is Tasha in the snow for the first time in her life.
