At most of you know, Samuel turned 5 on the 28th of August, so started school a couple of weeks ago. He’s attending Ahuroa School, which is about 10 minutes drive away (we’re planning on moving to Ahuroa before too long). It’s a very small, rural, school (just over 50 students) about half way between…

Four Beaches and a Birthday
As most people (reading this) know, my 30th birthday was a week ago tomorrow. Samuel and I were in Whangarei that weekend (a story for another time), so I spent my birthday with my parents – I think possibly the first time in a decade. We had a very nice day – I did a…

Stay tuned!
In brief: We moved. I was promised a home phone line and Internet connection either the day we moved or a couple of days later. A week and a half later the phone line appeared and the Internet order has had to be redone. Moral: avoid TelstraClear at all costs. I’ll rant about them elsewhere,…
