Happy Birthday Queenie!

Ahhhh, a long weekend. Long weekends, how I love thee. Three whole days. 50% more weekend! To continue our tour of places relatively close to Auckland, we are going to Paihia for two days, where we plan to introduce the girls to the historical wonders of Waitangi, Russell, and given the weather forecast, possibly the interior of a motel and the front of a TV screen.
To all those who have been waiting on the edge of their seats, you will be thrilled to know we have a new dishwasher. It was installed on Monday to everyone’s great delight. Of course, the installation was not without incident, as the dishwasher installer refused to go under our house to connect the water supply. His reason? He only went under houses when there was enough room under there for him to stand up. Because obviously the majority of houses are apparently BUILT ON STILTS. How bizarre of our house to actually be built at ground level. Luckily Andrew anticipated the panic in my eyes at the prospect of a beautiful new dishwasher that was entirely useless, and crawled under the house himself to connect it up. Phew.
Have a lovely weekend everyone, try to stay warm
