Moving stuff around
In a moment of utter madness yesterday, we decided to purchase a large item of rustic French furniture. The deed isn't done yet, because we had to make sure our ceilings were high enough and walls wide enough to fit the dresser from the Loire. After much measuring and discussion, we decided we could fit it, but ONLY if we moved most of our books and CDs to other parts of the house. One of the shelves which has to be moved is made of iron and takes two men to lift it (when it is empty).
We can feel very pleased with ourselves, as we have sorted through a lot of items today, cleaned, found things behind shelving we thought was lost and have given endless amusement to our 9 month old kitten, who has played around us, tapped ornaments, chased dust balls and taken a nano second away from chasing insects.
I love other people's bookshelves, it tells me a lot about them. So, I invite you to amble around some of mine, so that you can try and analyse me:-)

Over the hill and a great way off
Yesterday we drove 160 kms round trip to the lovely Wairarapa hamlet of Greytown. It is a tiny town full of artists and cafes, antique shops and curios. Over the next few days I'll post the photos. Then you will want to come and visit, wherever you live!
But first, our first stop when we get to the top of the Rimutaka range was Featherston, and the fantastic deli "Cornucopia". They make the best fruit muffins in the S. Hemisphere. Trust me, I've tried most of them!

Messing about in boats
Today myself and my dearly loved husband took the Dominion Post Sea Cat over the bay to have coffee with our wonderful sister and brother in law. Behold a few pictures!
and this is not us on the bench!

New Year Puzzle - where am I?
The first (non Kiwi) to guess the location of these photos will receive a surprise gift from NZ. The question is, in which building did I take these pictures? A small clue - the answer must be diplomatic.
Contact me on the email under my profile page. The race is on - who will be first to guess?
