On top of that we have new neighbours and they have upset our equilibrium just a little more- nobody likes to be barked at coming up their own driveway! The manner of speaking to children and husband is, to say the least, abrasive and gets on our nerves. And the new garden ornament- a rusting 20 foot container soon to house 55 tropical fish tanks is an eyesore and makes the 'tennis court and cricket pitch' we previously enjoyed rather limited. We're looking at getting net curtains (I HATE net curtains) because it seems that when a movement out the windown catches our eye the maker of the movement has chosen that moment to be looking back into our home. The house has been empty since May of last year- the disturbance to our peaceful existence will take some getting used too.
On the plus side the parents are having Christmas in Dunedin as is my big little sister, Caitlin, and incredibly excitingly- so are we!!! By a stoke of good management I found, yesterday, tickets to get us all back to Auckland for $335 despite the same being $620 the previous day. So after a flurry of phone calls and excitement I booked and we'll be enjoying Christmas by the beach at my Aunty Brace's place- Will is going to love the dogs!! My Nana is over the top excited and both her and Brace are fighting over where we will stay. I'm fairly excited too- since I left my cousins all had babies- including a set of twins and some good (ex)airforce friends are in Palmerston and we'll get to check in with them as well. It will be the very happy upside if the decision doesn't go the way we are hoping.
In the meantime blogging may be scattered and unreliable and then maybe non existant for a while.
Yours from Limbo,
