Choosing to drive from one end of Auckland to the other on the predicted wettest day of Spring may not have been the wisest call. An early start 5am avoided the morning madness but a two hour crawl home topped off an overall crazy day…
Unloading containers in the torrential rain called for kiwi ingenuity, building pallet wrap sides for the gazebo to protect our precious cargo!
Another week closer to 2021, the US still holding its breath to see who will lead their country, and the Auckland water crisis may be averted for the upcoming summer. I am sort of excited to be able to get behind a water blaster or hose again!
Russell Rose is flourishing in the current climate, being well cared for by his good friend!
There are shorts days, jeans days, hard days and good days. We try to celebrate the successes, Dans house is looking like a house with windows and weather boards, mine is sporting a fresh coat of paint inside and out, George is exploring new activities…
Not always winning, a game of touch produced a damaged shoulder, for a 6’7” human, the bigger they are the harder they fall! But the new toy in the background is producing dulcet tones morning and night! My office is getting very full these days.
With Christmas looming we are thinking more often of those loved ones far away and all we want is to hold and hug them. But as usual life in NZ is busy, as we manage several projects in our lives and try to keep up with friends. Dreaming of a cold coors by a pool in Texas or a Cisk at the cafes by the grand harbour in Senglea (Malta) partaking in crazy Kareoke nights with my very musical cousins! (And not very musical self)
At least I am blessed to have my three sons near and not in far off parts of the world!
Now it’s time to get through a Friday, fight a few more fires and roll into what looks like a very social weekend ahead, rain or not!
All who wander are not Lost girls
