Why? cos where we live now it very near to the biggest park in New Zealand... and the Botanic Gardens... it is a beautiful suburb! And from my lounge windows I can see the parkland... and there is a donkey on the hill that brays out "HEE HAWWW, heeee hawww" every now and then.. it is so cute!
This is from one of the lounge windows, the donkey and a few horses are in the paddock above that chimney.....And as for the planes... well we are fairly near to the Auckland International Airport.... so we get to see lots of really big planes either leaving or arriving... but we are far enough away to not have the noise as well.
I am loving it here! It is soooo close to wonderful SHOPPING, yet we are in a lovely quiet area with lovely views.
Today I am going to continue sorting out 'stuff'.... and try to get into that garage and start finding stuff that I need! Like, I can't find the chopping boards, or my valance off my bed... hell there's heaps I can't find!
I am hoping we can place the potted plants around the yard too... lots to do!
We also need to go and buy some stick on thingee's for the big glass doors... my Aunt walked into one yesterday and so did I! You can't tell they are closed cos there's nothing but a big plate glass door and it looks like they are open! I was kinda lucky cos me boobs hit the glass and I bounced off! My Aunt hit her head. Oh well, shit happens! ONWARD.....
ABOVE AND BELOW: Our house from the front, with all our metal bits, letterbox and pots. Looks so neat!
ABOVE: The Front Door Entrance.... Didn't take long to find just the right things to put here.
Right, back to it.....
Mum and I went to an old freind's 80th Birthday this afternoon... spent about 3 hours there and then back home for dinner.
End of Day: I'm knackered (AGAIN)... but we are getting there! I'm thrilled to bits with how the outside is looking. Just have to get into the garage now!
NSV: been very good with food intake today... I am sure I'm burning it all off as I go! nite nite.

Hi Chris - It's been a while since I've caught up with your blog. I can't believe you've finally arrived in your new house/city/life! I hope all is going well for you. My new house/city/life has been going for nearly a year but I still feel those pangs of excitement when I think back to the actual moving time.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything.
The house is beautiful Chris! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYour new house looks awesome! I hope you are all very happy there!
