This weekend James and I took a KiwiRail Scenic trip on the Northern Explorer. We’ve both taken the Costal Pacific train on the South Island, and have wanted to see the North Island by train for a while, so we thought that we’d just go. As we’ve just got married, we treated it like aContinueContinue reading “Auckland Weekend Trip”

Our Perfect Wedding
We got married! After a long period of deliberation, James and I decided that if we didn’t just go and do it, we’d never get married. As Covid has pretty much screwed up this years plans for anything even remotely interesting, we decided to push out the wedding…and then pushed it out again…ending up withContinueContinue reading “Our Perfect Wedding”
An incredibly civilized Hen’s Do
This afternoon I spend a few hours with my Wellington besties, having an incredibly civilized High Tea Hen’s Do. I chose a small café called Martha’s Pantry, as I’d seen it a few times when driving by, but hadn’t ever had a reason to visit. I was excited to have a reason to now! OurContinueContinue reading “An incredibly civilized Hen’s Do”
…not just a scaphoid fracture…
This morning I had an appointment with the Fracture Clinic at the hospital. They began with removing the plaster cast, which on the whole wasn’t terrible, but then they sent me down to X-ray and X-rayed the wrist again. I cried. I didn’t cry because it was being X-rayed, I cried because in order toContinueContinue reading “…not just a scaphoid fracture…”
Painting the deck
After I slid on the deck and broke my scaphoid, James and I cleaned and re-paint it. As I have a plaster cast on, and can’t really grip much, James has done most of the hard work…but I had to help paint it…
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”
A broken scaphoid
After work yesterday, James and I were about to go for a run when I slipped over and fell on the front deck. My left leg slid out from under me, and my right leg got bent up under me and I cracked my shin on the edge of the step, sort of bouncing andContinueContinue reading “A broken scaphoid”
Wedding prep…
Today I have been doing a little bit of crafting. I’m trying to find a selection of nice photos of James and I ready for the wedding. I thought that there weren’t a vast amount of photos of the pair of us…it turns out that I was wrong. There are sooooo many. I am pleasantlyContinueContinue reading “Wedding prep…”
Surprise! We’re getting married!
After a lot of deliberation, and with the support of our families from afar, we have made the tough decision to change up our wedding plans. As a result of the global coronavirus pandemic, we have had to have some very difficult and heartbreaking conversations about cancelling, postponing or adjusting our best-laid wedding plans. Therefore,ContinueContinue reading “Surprise! We’re getting married!”
Gardening and landscaping
Today we landscaped part of the garden. I’m super impressed with our attempt, as I wasn’t sure that it would turn out as well. We took a part of the garden that was just grassy and overgrown, with small trenches dug out and lots of weeds, and mulched it with the excess mulch from theContinueContinue reading “Gardening and landscaping”
