Lady Gaga has arrived!
Eccentric pop sensation Lady Gaga has arrived in New Zealand ahead of her two Auckland concerts – and she seems pumped to be here. Only moments after landing at Auckland International Airport, the ‘Poker Face’ singer posted a message on her Twitter website to say that she can’t wait to “perform the show of a lifetime”.
Gaga – whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – also tweeted, “Just arrived in New Zealand, greeted at 7am by all my beautiful fans, glitter faces and police.” In a subsequent text, she revealed she was listening to radio station The Edge and requested they play her new track ‘Telephone’. Cheekily, she added, “Catch me if you can, Kiwis.”
Gaga’s Saturday show at Vector Arena sold out quickly and her Sunday performance is on the verge of doing the same. Last time the Brit Award-winning star was here in 2009, she was simply a support act for the Pussycat Dolls.

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
