Update

Let's hope this blog is better updated than the last one...
Where to start...

There has been little of note happening in the last few weeks, since the job is keeping me very busy. Having said that, there have been some good weekends and events.

I mentioned before that in my last holidays, I was house-sitting for some friends on the other side of the harbour, about 1/2 hr's drive from central Wellington. They have a lovely house where I enjoyed staying in because of bad weather (terrible, it was), having fires and having a friend or 2 over for a meal or a coffee. I missed all the drama of the burst pipe in my house, which, 7-odd weeks later, is still ongoing (dehumidifiers, fans, no lino, messy bathroom still there...), thankfully.

Since then, there has been the wonderful film festival, which I had also attended last year and absolutely loved. More about that in another post.

The latest news is that I am going to have to move house... I know, AGAIN!
The story this time is that because of the burst pipe drama etc, our landlords, who were in England for a while, have decided to come home early October. So we have to give the house back.
I am going to Fiji (yeah!!!!!!) in my next holiday, late September/early October, so I'd like to have moved before that holiday. We have given 3 weeks' notice already, so that those who want to leave sooner rather than later can do so.
So next weekend, the search is on again. Can't start to look already, as people don't advertise so early. Nevertheless, I have seen a couple of places already, to see what's around, but they will probably go before I am available.

I am quite disappointed to have to leave the house, as it is big, I have a lovely room and we had a double garage... if you've seen the photos, you know what I am talking about!
I will be happy though to possibly finding tidier housemates... you wouldn't believe how inconsiderate they can sometimes be. I have decided to downsize too, living with just 1 or 2 people.
it doesn't make it easy to know that I might be going back to Europe at christmas... I haven't decided yet for sure, I will see what happens with my job first, as I understand they would like to keep me on... we'll see how they organise the department before I decide.
Grrrr, this is complicated!
