How time has flown (again!). It's almost time for MT to return to work and we are once again wondering where the holidays have gone. At least I have the advantage of not having to return to the grindstone in the city.
Our second visitor Margaret has just arrived from Sydney for a few days so we're looking forward to showing her some of what the Wellington region has to offer. A poor excuse to go wine tasting again! The weather forecast for the next few days is not great which is hard for our visitors to endure but we'll be pleased to see if we can restock the water in the tank. Turning on the tap and water coming out is still a bit of a novelty which we enjoy after a week of temperamental behaviour from our water pump.
To avoid thinking about going back to work, we've been contemplating all the work that we need to do around the house. Next big shopping expedition will I think be to the rural farming store to invest in a bush cutter (for that lovely gorse) and miscellaneous other tools that you need to fix things up around the place. We also need to get some mini fencing to keep the bassets off the flower beds as the plants are now in and it would be a shame for the hounds to be ruining the hard work that went into them. As far as they are concerned though it's the first soft spot after leaving the house and a perfect place to have a private moment and make them feel more comfortable first thing in the morning!
Now we're settling into the house we need to make the most of what we've got. We never tire of staring at the view or wondering at the sunsets which have been stunning during the time we've had good weather. I aim to get some more photo blogging done over the next few days, so watch this space blog readers for the next update.
