To Prove it, We're Here
yes folks...we are now domiciled in the sunny, and hot, far North of the North Island of New Zealand.

Took off by car on Friday, completely stuffed to bursting with belongings, and drove to Hamilton to stay overnight, then drove the remaining few hours on Saturday up to Whangarei, arriving early afternoon to a rapturous welcome from Mum.

only one little fly in the blissful ointment. The blasted movers didn't deliver our few remaining bits of furniture on Saturday as expected. The items included my bed, zoe's mattress and bed frame, our tv and her bicycle.

the tv and the bicycle we could do without...the other items we couldn't!! I ended up sleeping on the floor, something I've not done since youthful folly twenty years ago. Ouch.

next night was spent on a narrow chaise lounge,(deck furniture) little better than a camp bed, and yet another night of less-than-ideal sleep. Ouch.

tonight, monday, I have the spare mattress off mum's bed, zoe is on the borrowed mattress from a kind neighbour, and my goods aren't due to arrive until thursday.....Help!!

on a slightly less whiney note, my computer is up and running, we have a new addition to the family - Kipper - freshly caught from the SPCA this afternoon, and supposed to be sleeping in Zoe's room, but currently sitting snoring behind me. (didn't see that coming much!!)
