I had a little leak in my kitchen, then a bit bigger one, then a really big bucket on the floor one. The builder is finally happy that he’s got it sorted so I now have a hole in the ceiling and a high tech moisture detection system installed.

New View
I properly started my new job on Monday and it comes with an amazing view. I’m on the top floor of the new building and we can see it all: weather, planes, trains, cranes, ferries and traffic. Here’s a sample from Monday (with moving box)

Blessing
Staff start moving in next week, including me! We’ve had our orientation tours which included a trip to the basement. They showed us the bike storage, drying room etc, etc but I was much more interested in getting an up close look at one of the base isolators.

All Change
Since last November we’ve been going through a change process at work. It’s been long and it’s been tough but as of last Tuesday we’re in our new structure. For me that means a new job which I’ll start properly this week, exciting and terrifying in equal measure.

Queuing
When there’s a queue out the door you know it’s good.
And it is, to the point that I now have a loyalty card. On a wet day there’s nothing like a good pie and I can already recommend the steak and cheese, mince and cheese and the boilup.

Manawatia a Matariki
Happy Māori New Year! Definitely no photos of the stars this year but a lovely weather shot instead.

Travelling
Catching up with family in Sydney
With friends in Victoria where there may or may not have been confit duck and some very nice wines
And finally New Plymouth to catch up with weaving friends and support an exhibition opening.
