Pass me a Tui

March, 2008 :

Its been six months since we quit work in Ontario, well, six months tomorrow anyway. As usual, those months have absolutely flown by, although, a lot has been explored. It was an odd thing moving ourselves across Canada, all new stuff, new pubs, new walks and places, fear, etc. it's a blast.

We went to New Zealand for my sister in laws wedding, it's nice to get another brother in law and the wedding was a hoot. It was a bit odd though with all the family cohabiting in one place, made for interesting and sometimes stress filled moments. We managed to escape the madness a bit, touring Auckland and the local area, also flew down to Queenstown (South Island) where the scenery became a lot more dramatic. As usual, lots of different beers were appreciated, Tui and Radler of note.

It was odd though, New Zealand would have felt bigger if we had never seen the Rockies....

Spring is here and gardening and outdoor projects are starting, have to set up the outside so that (again) beer and wine can be consumed in comfort, the only thing we have to do is put the bbq away at night (we have a ravine and creek behind the house and hence, racoons and bears), In addition, the in-laws are probably going to visit in August, so making the living space bigger will be a blessing.
