Well happy Christmas and a very happy new year, it was a busy one for us, with a trip up to Westport in the middle of it and all the palaver and expense that Christmas brings. For the first year didn't send out any Xmas cards or even put the Xmas tree up but big plans for next Christmas- hopefully the extension will be there and much more room to scratch around in.
We have been in Dunedin almost a year I start my course next month, I am looking forward to it, life down here is good but I feel that I am still waiting.... for what I don't know. This is what happens I guess when you have lived so much of your life basically at work, all your hobbies and skills have kind of gone west and you are basically left wondering, "Well what now?"
The weather is improving the sun has been warming. When we where in Nelson on Christmas eve I couldn't stand the heat (it was about 34 degrees) too hot for us. Stuck in a car with 3 dogs! Westport was nice still hot but not as suffocating. The cheekies come down this week will be fun but stressful as always can't wait to see them again and I know they are excited to come down, L is looking foreword to the break. And N will just be working on as always. My other daughter and her bf have just bought a house, she would love a commitment from him, he is sweet and good to her but OH MY GOD very high maintenance, then she can be too. I feel she suppresses too much and then it builds up like a volcano but I guess they have there intermittent eruptions!
