While they’re away!
Parentals went out…..I got hungry…. The parental told me I’m never allowed to use the stove. So, I found a bankcard they left behind, and borrowed their laptop. They shouldn’t go out with me!!!

At the ready!
The Parentals are busy working out what stuff they need for the trip. Jeans, boots, jackets etc etc etc I was getting a bit concerned, as the short one kept saying things to the tall one, like: “you don’t need that!” “go put that back away, its unnecessary”, & “leave that at home, it’s too heavy”. So – I figured I’d best make very sure I don’t get left behind. I’m at the ready!!! 😃

Happy As Larry!
Larry is set up and ready for his trip. He likes going on his little jaunts around this big beautiful world of ours, and has warned us that this time – he might just be hogging the camera a bit. It seems that his mates (Hamish, Molly, Dusk & Blaze) don’t really believe him when he sprouts off about the amazing things he has seen on his travels – so he’s aiming to provide evidence. Or so it seems…. We’ll see…

Movie Day
It’s been cold and rainy today, so we voted for having a snuggle in, and watching movies. We ended up watching “Blended”, which was very very funny; and “The Other Woman”, which has its moments of humour, but was a bit slow all in all. Definitely recommend “Blended” though! 🙂 Now we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention something about realestate! So here is the name for our upcoming NZ home 🙂 We’ll be making a nice carved Maori sign of it for the front entry arch.

Happy Anniversary (again)
This time last year, we got married (again), here in NZ. So today started slowly, with coffee and toast. We sat around watching tele in our jammies, until it was time to get ready to go to lunch. We’d booked the same table at Sally’s that we had last year for our reception 🙂 Enjoyed a lovely feed of fish & chips, and oysters kilpatrick. Was pretty sweet, as they’d run out of oysters, and specially went out and sourced some from the oyster farm, just for US!! It seems we’ve become pretty well known around Russell. “The Girls” are a ‘notorious’ topic and sight, about the town lol 🙂…

Found a house!
Today was busy. We went to Whangarei to a number of house yards (basically second-hand houses) and we ended up finding one we luuurve. Its initial asking price is a bit steep. It’s worth every cent of what they’re asking, but we just don’t happen to have quite that much in the budget right now tho….but we’ll be trying to for it!! A definite diamond in the rough!!

Some awesome places…
Did a couple of house inspections today. We really like 1 particular house, and one vacant section. Both have exquisite views of the marina and bay. Now if we could just find some money…

Wise words
Common sense quilting!

Lookin about…
Today we’ve spent a good portion of the day realestate hunting. We’ve been to three open homes, had a look at about 8 blocks of land (one of which we realllly like!), and this evening we’re looking through dozens of ‘recycled’ homes online, with the plan to go see those we like. Today’s been a good day, and we’ve had a lovely time, with the planning and dreaming of possibilities…. Who wouldn’t want to live here!!
