AECOM Christmas Party 2020

This weekend was the AECOM Christmas party. It was an almost entire day in the Wairarapa partaking in wine, beer and gin tasting. James and I decided to stay in a hotel from the Friday night, until the Sunday morning. It gives us less stress. We picked the Royal Hotel Featherston. It’s all done upContinueContinue reading “AECOM Christmas Party 2020”

Auckland Weekend Trip

This weekend James and I took a KiwiRail Scenic trip on the Northern Explorer.

I didn’t cry because it was being X-rayed, I cried because in order toContinueContinue reading “…not just a scaphoid fracture…”

Capybara experience

As it’s my birthday in a few days, James bought me a capybara experience at the zoo! If you don’t know what a capybara is, they’re basically a giant guinea pig. They are the biggest rodent in the world, and they come from South America. Wikipedia has an informative page on them. Anyway, we wentContinueContinue reading “Capybara experience”
