Anniversary

Wow! Crikey! It’s been a year since I landed here in New Zealand. A lot has happened in that time (see the previous 110 blogs for details), including moving into two houses, getting a job, buying a car and becoming an official New Zealand resident.

Freakin’ Freezing Up Here, Mr. Bigglesworth

Yesterday was the coldest day ever in Wellington (well, since records began) –snow fell in the centre of town (briefly) and on the hills surrounding. Traffic, air and rail systems have ground to a halt in large swathes of the country…it reminds me of somewhere!

Not much else to say at the moment – came first in the pub quiz again tonight, but that’s become such a commonplace these days that it’s hardly worth mentioning ;-) Hopefully by next week we’ll have finished all the immediate moving-in tasks and can then get on with being exciting again!

  2. Happy year-i-versary.

    And wowsers, look at that snow ! Must have been a blast for the Wellingtonians. Kinda comforting to know that it's not just this wee island that grinds to a halt. All it takes here is a single snowflake - as well you know. Heh.

    We're all good. Don't forget it's yer parents' 50th Weeding Anni next w/end. They're having a bash this w/end and Katie Kate is coming to stay, so we'll troll along for the pies.

    Hope you're enjoying your new home. Love to youse both,
