A touch of shopping

A few cool things.

Is about time. But nothing too exciting, just easy to do while waiting for a test at Uni this morning. (yes, all study done this morning).

Cool new tea pot to match tea cups.

Been running and biking alot lately too so feeling healthy. Bring on Sumer. !

Busy happenings of a fantastic city

Well. Been a little while since the last update.
But seeing as the photos are so much easier to come by with an awesome phone...

An amazing time today at My Hutt snowboarding.

Been biking too up Rapaki, quite wet.

So. Good times.

Scary stuff

Well I took a trip to Redcliffs this afternoon I do an audit on a property costing. Was a little scary walking around as it was very cold, wet and windy. But not helped by the house looking a bit 'unsafe'

Also, the front yard had disappeared.

Just a wee update

Well, a  weekend to Auckland and Hamilton and then to Nelson and no camera, oops. Was just nice to get away though, Thanks Mummy, always good to come home.

So, a week or so ago now, it snowed again so another 'snow day' brilliant. so very exciting for all and a nice restful day at home and all.


Yups, some snow.


So a full day at home and a sleep in with nothing but coffee, cookies and afternoon naps.


And, being that it's a little cooler these days, a new pair of gloves. lovely with a suit for work.


One of these days I will do an update entirely on edifying or interesting happenings with no new clothes, shoes or accessories. one day.

Token update

Well, not much of an update and the title really does give it away. Not a lot going on down here except work, sleep and eating. and maybe a touch of shopping. Starting to get quite cold in the evenings and mornings. managing to walk to work a few days a week, trying to keep to a run, gym, squash and one yoga a week. all this on top of proper eating..!?
So far have made Pork and sweet potato curry, pork dumplings, chicken hot pot, pesto and pancetta pizzas and a thai lemongrass and noodle stir fry all in one week. will see how long this lasts..
So now I have a dining table again, (Joe has a matching, smaller desk in his room) so will need to find dining chairs again sometime.


My new desk, (oldish now) but still,  love it. very cool.


Some new boots and new leather gloves for winter, I literally had nothing to wear... (two brown leather jackets and had nothing to go with them). and yes, am aware of your views on brown Amy. :)

Am going night riding with Joel and Renita tomorrow night, will be cold..! but definitely time to be doing more outdoorsy things.

Good weather in Christchurch..!

 Well, yes, it has been a short while since anything new or exciting has appeared on my blog, but in my defence, not a lot exciting has happened worth noting. However, we've just had the second nice, stop, awesome weekend so was out playing tennis for several hours yesterday.

Last weekend, after breakfast out, I went with Joel and Renita to Teoka bay surfing, was a perfect day and although the swell wasn't huge, was just good to be out.




 Yep, they're still super cool and the coffee machine is going well.
 lovely drop of colour.
Oh... bit of a story here, sufficed to say... am now a Meridian customer.. hehe

mostly just coffee...

As it's been pointed out, again, it's been a little while. so this weekend I am catching up on a few things, (nothing exciting in the blog unfortunately).
Joe is away for the weekend on a badminton trip so have done all the washing, cleaning and made fresh muesli.
We had a dessert evening on Friday for Sheri's leaving and a Thai lunch on Saturday for Kieren's 21st so has been good a weekend for food, (lamb fillet and crispy noodle salad for tea last night was AWESOME..!)
I have started Uni again this last week and so far been late or on time for every lecture and left early for all, establishing an expectation early me thinks. Should be good going back to having to think and learn a bit more about things not directly related to just work.



Have been starting my mornings with a small coffee lately, is nice and easy to make 2 and is just right in case I have to have my second one on the way to work.


My new coffee cups ordered into Ballentyne's. even cooler than I'd hoped so may have to get another set when or if I can afford it sometime. Bodum double wall glass cup and stainless saucer. perfect for coffee and had a cup of tea last night too so even better.


Hannah and Debs came around Saturday morning for coffee before going to lunch.


And back in the afternoon for a second attempt at a good coffee.


Sunflowers they brought are lovely.
Still a cool lamp thanks Amy..! (and Matt of course).
