Settling In

Saturday 20th January 2007
Had a relatively quiet day, getting over jet lag, shopping and putting stuff away in some of the many cupboards in this house.
Tim came round to lend us an Alpha Romeo Selespeed for a few days. We had to drop him back into town so had the delight of driving round Auckland City Centre on a Saturday afternoon. It was surprisingly quiet but as everyone keeps telling us many people are still on their summer holiday. We managed to find a big department store where Joe was able to buy a cricket set and a rugby ball. So he's happy now!

In the afternoon we went down to the reserve to let Joe & Millie run off some excess energy. It was also an attempt to make sure they slept well. It seems highly likely that much of our spare time will be spent down on the reserve meeting people and playing sport of some kind or other.

Hello you lot, it's great to see this and to find out how you are all getting on. I don't really know what a blog is, but Chris Evans is always going on about one!
The house looks fab and from all I have heard from Jes it sounds as though you are having an amazing time. I hope that your first days at school have gone or are going? well! Keep us posted and I'll do my best to keep looking on this.
Bye
