Normal Service Resumes

This appeared yesterday and I’m pleased to report that at some point between lunch time and going home today the wind has been fixed. Only in Wellington!

Windows

This week preparation has begun for new windows in the living/dining room. The main excitement so far has been getting so see the underlying structure of the house which, to my great relief, is in perfect nick. As you can see I’m also going to get insulation.

This is what was under the gib in the original part of the house. 

And wiring for the heat pump that was on the outside is now on the inside. 

Thanks

I got a lovely thank you at work on Wednesday that included lovely flowers from my lovely boss.

More Newness

Things continue on the home front. Right at the very top of the ‘if I owned this place’ list was a screen security door at the front. It was installed this week and we are reaping the full benefit of it today. Lovely fresh air circulating right through the house.

Being Immersed

These photos won’t mean much but they are part of the learning at a full immersion Māori language weekend that’s just wrapping up. Lots of new words and old friends.

Trying to be Productive

But not really succeeding. 

Domestic Goddessing

I’ve had a wonderful couple of days at home puttering around doing stuff. This has included:

Load testing the new washing line,

 Putting up shelves in the (now completed) shed,

  

And making the Christmas cakes. 

This photo pretty much sums it up. Everyone recharges their cordless drill next to cake prep on top of the washing machine, right?
