18 August 2008

Well here we are again and amazingly enough it is raining again. I can't believe how bad the weather is here. I hate the cold and wet. It just makes the days so long because we can't go outside and play. We have a huge yard and the boys are stuck inside almost everyday. They are all sick now anyway. They like being inside on these days. We have been watching a bit of the Olympics. They cover great things like the table tennis. It is great fun. We did get to see the swimming and rowing too.

Well we have been here 7 months now and we finally have some where to sit. I have become a bit obsessed with the NZ version of ebay. I got a lovely lounge suite for only 200$. It would have been a few thousand new and it is still in great condition. David said it was a great bargain. He is happy. We have made the downstairs into a great toy room for them. They just don't go down there because it is so cold.

My mom is coming in just a week. I am so excited. David has started his new job with Panasonic and he is not around very much anymore. I have no one to talk to and life gets very lonely. I did see Mamma Mia again last week. I have a bit of an obsession with that movie. I love happy movies. Ok so I really need to get a life. At least with mom here I can do things during the day.

We had a lovely day out last weekend. We went to a river and did some walking through the forest. It was actually very nice. The weather was cold but it was sunny that day so it made it very nice. The boys loved the suspension bridges. There were two to cross. It was an old mine and you can go down in the tunnels but we forgot our flashlights that day so we didn't go in them. Something for next time. It was very beautiful.

I will have to add photos next time because it won't let me right now. So I will love you and leave you and look fowrad to posting again soon.
