Chick Update 2
We seem to be doing okay so far. After three nights of being a chicken mummy, I feel a little less stressed (but only marginally). They seem to be eating and drinking properly. They’re certainly pooping well…they never seem to stop! Who would have thought that something so small could have that much poop! I’veContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 2”
Chick Update 1
I have spent ALL day stressed about the chicks! My main worry is that we won’t be able to keep them warm enough and they will get stressed, or die. I’ve never been required to look after anything so very delicate before. It’s very stressful. So far so good though. They’re very cute. I justContinueContinue reading “Chick Update 1”
Chickens!
This weekend we bought chickens. We have been talking about it for a while now, but I didn’t realise that we were actually going to get them so soon! One minute we were sat in bed talking about it, then next James tells me that we are the proud owners of two chicks. We haveContinueContinue reading “Chickens!”
Easter 2019
As we have a grand total of ten entire days off over the Easter period, James and I thought we’d get out and see a bit of the South Island. We though we’d squeeze a bit of sightseeing in, wedding venue sourcing, and of course, a LOT of driving. Saturday: Wellington – Picton – Nelson159.6ContinueContinue reading “Easter 2019”
I love my garden!
James and I spent time in the garden today, it was lovely! Putting the lawnmower together was a bit of a hassle…we got a few bits slightly wrong and had to re-do them…but it was okay in the end. Who knew putting together such a small amount of plastic would be quite so stressful? JamesContinueContinue reading “I love my garden!”
He asked. I said ‘Yes’!
Today James proposed. Of course I said YES! We had spent the day pottering about in the house, running errands and just generally existing in the house together. It was a lovely day. We achieved a lot and had fun doing it.We ate fajitas, which we hadn’t eaten in a while and were just drinkingContinueContinue reading “He asked. I said ‘Yes’!”
De Quervain’s Tendosynovitis Release
Today I had my wrist operation. So far, it’s not feeling too bad! As it all went through the Health Insurance, I got to sample Wakefield Hospital. I was impressed! As you approach you see this really imposing set of gates and a cool old-ish looking building. Upon entering, it really doesn’t feel like aContinueContinue reading “De Quervain’s Tendosynovitis Release”
My Sunny Weekend
This weekend James and I took off to the South Island for a friends wedding. The sun was shining, the views were spectacular…and the company wasn’t too bad either 🙂 Friday As we left Wellington the weather was stunning; we had bright sunshine and hardly a cloud in the sky. I even ventured to theContinueContinue reading “My Sunny Weekend”
What a day!
Last night I felt incredibly unwell. I don’t mean a little iffy, I mean I genuinely thought I was going to die. I’d felt okay at work, I felt a little odd but just thought that I needed to eat something healthy. Ha. When I got home my stomach was in pieces, it was agony.ContinueContinue reading “What a day!”
