Remutaka Cycle Trail

Christmas has been super busy! I left everything to the last minute and it was a bit of a panic. Nevertheless, I did eventually get everything done, but with a bit more stress than I had anticipated. Things I am loving this last few weeks: Christmas with friends.CyclingGenerally not being at work or thinking aboutContinueContinue reading “Remutaka Cycle Trail”

Christmas 2021

Santa has been and it’s great 🙂 We begun the day with a 5km ParkRun – our first one in about 6 months! I was not prepared and didn’t manage to run the entire thing, but that’s okay and I aim to work on this in the New year! It was a bit of aContinueContinue reading “Christmas 2021”

Things I am loving this week: Long edition!

Another busy few weeks – I was hoping that life would chill out a little as we begin the lead up to Christmas, but sadly this has not been the case! Work has really cranked up a gear.

It’s all done upContinueContinue reading “AECOM Christmas Party 2020”

Agatha and the Christmas Tree

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”

Christmas 2016

We began Christmas with a huge food spread, yesterday, courtesy of  Blayne and Lisa. There was sooooo much food. There were so many different types of cheese, crackers and spreads and I think I might have eaten my entire body weight in cheese! Christmas morning I was told – in no uncertain terms – not to wake James up before 8am…so of course I wokeContinueContinue reading “Christmas 2016”
