A few questions about Abba...

So... there are lots of signs around here advertising "The Best Abba Show in New Zealand", which I think is on sometime in March in one of the local town halls.
So here're my questions...

How many Abba shows are there getting about ...

Bruce 0 - Hedgehog 1

Mount Bruce found a hedgehog in our yard yesterday.
Unfortunately for Bruce, he thought it was just a really slow cat and did what he usually does when he spots any sort of cat, slow or otherwise. He runs up to it and starts nudging it with his nose...

Bruce... behaving like a real dog

We took Bruce to a very picturesque waterhole today, fully expecting him to be afraid of the water, like he was when we took him to the ocean.

Mount Bruce is liking Middle Earth very much:)

 

All hail to big strong boys with tats and piercings...

We got a flat tyre, today, in the Bunnings carpark at Tower Junction.
That's cool... me and Secondborn are independent women of the world, more than capable of changing a tyre, even if SB's back is stuffed and I'm not supposed to lift anything becau...

I ring the retailer on Saturday morning. "Where's my desk?"
"Whoops," they say. "We forgot. we don't deliver to...

It's driving me insane and now I have a stiff neck.

Hopefully problem will be solved tomorrow and I can get to work...

I did buy a new chair, but now, as I'm typing, I realise I forgot to buy a footstool...

oh dear...

Another day in paradise...

The outdoor setting is still only half put together, and I discovered the joys today, of asking an electrician what needs to be done in a 100 year old house to make the wiring safe.
That's going to cost a lot. Not as much as I secretly feared, but c...

Today's achievments...

I put together half the new outdoor setting
I signed and sent off some interview reports I was working on before I left Australia.
I answered and sent off the questions from the Dutch translator
I anwered some fan mail (although ...

Well... I'm in New Zealand...

Yup... I have moved. I swear, this is the first time I've had time to take a deep breath for more than a week.
The house is awesome (although the furniture is still weeks away) and today we went down to the local farmer's market to buy thi...
