Today we put up our Christmas Tree. Agatha isn’t sure about it…she keeps sitting under it and sort of looking at it.Scribble doesn’t care. She hasn’t seemed to notice that there is anything different about the hallway. Neither of the cats will have seen a Christmas Tree before, as i’ve not put one up inContinueContinue reading “Agatha and the Christmas Tree”

Beki Makes Things: I made a dress!
This evening James and I attended the AECOM Christmas Function in Wellington. It was held at the Boat Shed on the waterfront. It was all very exciting and we had a great evening. I made the dress!

Family Photo
Today I needed a family photo to take to my NZSL class. In order to do this I needed to get both cats in the photo…not as easy as it seems. Scribble doesn’t like to be picked up, and Agatha won’t sit still…needless to day it was a bit of a challenge.

Today is D-Day…well that should probably be HA-Day: Hearing Aid Day…today I get my first pair of hearing aids. Now that I’m over the initial shock of itContinueContinue reading “H A Day”
Sapporo
New Years Day had us learning how trains work in Japan! We got a train from Niseko to Kutchan, another from Kutchan to Otaru and then finally, one more from Otaru to Sapporo. Phew! It sounds like hard work, but actually was no harder than getting the bus into town 🙂 It’s organised chaos but it works. At Niseko Station,ContinueContinue reading “Sapporo”
