Spring cleaning

Just a quick one to show a lovely bunch of Tulips and Stock that now compliment a sparking apartment, if with a somewhat 'too clean' aroma about the place.


Mum's comment when I said I had just been for a walk to get some flowers was, "won't be as nice as the Tulips and Stock I just got". What fine taste you have Mother.

More snow days..!


Snow angel...!

Well it's been a few days.. (some..) since I bothered updating this and before I made comments on others asking why they haven't I had better make an effort.

It started snowing on Sunday night, ( was skeptical there for a bit when Sunday morning was the warmest and nicest morning for a long time) I had to look out the window constantly through the night to make sure we got enough snow to stay home on the Monday, but it pulled though and we got 2 days off for the snow..!

I've been at home today as well though with an awful lot of work to do from Auckland as well as keeping up with real work so has been a fun couple of days with not a lot of daylight being seen.


Yes I know I am wearing a bright jacket and am also aware I look like a very 'special person' in this one.. Is this how I always look..?

I went with Joel and Renita to Doug and Veronika's on Monday and we made an igloo, was interesting. but mostly just sustained periods of numb hands..


A building that was on the way to work and was disappearing over a few days.


The making of what turned out to be  a delicious wholesome stew..



The new bike, slightly dirty after a ride up the port hills.


Then clean after a ride in the slush and snow to get plans printer on Tuesday and hot coffee on Wednesday.


My life since Monday afternoon...

Am looking forward to the weekend and I think I will be going for a ride up the hills again and some fresh air and sunlight maybe.
