After what seems like an eternity, our 'effects' have arrived from the UK. Kind of like Christmas come early, opening all the boxes to see all the forgotten stuff inside. Malc can now start wrecking things now his tools have arrived.

We have decided on a 'shoes off' policy in the house, Hawaiian style, so I ordered a couple of painted tiles to go by the front and back doors for a little bit of aloha.

Annie was working last Saturday, but Malc took up the 7am offer from Darren of a lift up to Porter Heights for some boarding. Sadly, the snow looks like its on its way out, but theres still plenty of good riding to be had for a few weeks yet.

September 1st is NZ's official first day of spring. To celebrate, after boarding on Saturday, Malc went for his first surf on Sunday. Looking forward to walking down the road after work for a dip now the evenings are starting to get longer, keep an eye out for him on the New Brighton Surfcam
This weeks exciting household purchase .... a 'Nils Lofgren' hoover!
