Meeting Robbie the Robot (again)

Robbie the Robot was in the Farmers building in Auckland Central when I was a little kid.

Shifting Gears

So it's really real - we've bought a house in Dunedin and will be shifting there in February sometime. Shifting gears.

That leaves a month or so before saying goodbye to my old hometown.

Spending time with friends over this midsummer has brought home how much I'll miss the friends and family I love in this city. I'm lucky to feel that physical distance doesn't really separate people, but I'd be stupid to think that missing out on regular face to face contact won't have some effect.

Yay! We bought it!

The auction was fun. When I saw the papers on the day, my birthday was the possession date. So I knew it was ours straight away.

There were four other parties turned up for the auction - but I recognised one as the next door neighbour Ivan. There was a guy about my age, a family (young couple and their parents), and a guy a few years older than me.
