Tuesday morning here and our shipping boxes have arrived! All safe and sound as far as I can see. Im not opening them yet as I am waiting for Stevo in case there are any unwelcome stowaways. Cant wait to see our goodies from the Uk again - feels weird seeing them again - last time was in September when we packed them away in streatham, which seems like an age ago.

We went to see the Auckland Blues play at Eden Park on Saturday night, with a couple of steve's workmates, who got us complimentary tickets. Was incredible watching rugby inthe sunshine and warmth. The blues won, they were playing the reds! from Queensland. Amazing atmosphere and Eden park is a really nice ground - of course the warmth and wine helped.

Here are some piccies:





Spent Sunday lazing about and tidying flat and sunbathing. Steve goes to the pool daily and he is always alone - it doesnt get much use which is great. My mornings just fly by and so I dont get time to use it but I will make more of an effort at the weekends and evenings. It is heated so we will be able to use it throughout the year.

Still planning anniversary weekend - have had some cards already - thank you so much! Steve jokes that moeny is passing hands if we make it to one year!!!! I am astounded myself that we have made it - it has flown by, but then we did do alot, time for calm now. Thinking of going to Coromandel - it should atke about 2 and a half hours from Auckland.

Also thinking about what to do for Easter as Steve has two weeks off and I will have the public holidays. It should still be warm so want to make the most of holidays. If we book early we should save money also.

Work is going well- I did some overtime last night and stayed till 7pm and lots more overtime available so that should help finances.

Take care all.
