Update
Yes, it has been some time since my last post. Struggle to keep things updated as after spending long days in front of a computer flat tack at work the last thing I feel like doing is typing something out on the computer once home. Finally working a late shift at work which is quiet enough to actually put a things down.
To recap, my cousin Joanne came home for a visit to surprise her dad on his birthday and was great to see her again. The last time I saw her was for Makayla's christening two years ago January 06' which she was not only able to see how much she had grown but to see her nephew for the first time also.
The weather in Auckland for the past two to three months has been diabolical. Due to my rostered work we get every fortnight off full a full weekend which is the only time I get to spend with Maks. The weather has always pourer down on those particular weekends which means not only do I not get to go outside with Maks, being an avid golfer the weather has mostly forced me indoors and I'm sick of it. Sure I could play a wet round of golf but the courses with this down pourer just wouldn't be worth the trouble as they'd play like swamps. Maks and I still have our fun, I got her two Barbie movies which she loves to pieces wanting to watch it time and time again. I think she watched Fairytopia about 6-7 times over the weekend and I'm sick of the dang thing. She didn't like the bad fairy and would climb ontop me and snuggle her face into my shoulder as she was scared until that scene ended and she'd contently watch until the bad fairy came on again.
Mom and I did get a small break in the weather to get the kids outside and down to mission bay for a very short time in between the torrents of rain.
As for work, well we're now in a new building for the last month. Took a while to get used to the rather extended walk to work but it wakes me up in the morning whereas prior I'd do that whilst sitting at my desk sipping my coffee.
The new building is located at 8 Tangihua street in auckland's city. The walk to work from home is about 1.1k's (one-way) and quite enjoyable when the rain isn't a factor.
The interior building is much larger than the previous at Federal street and we all now have room to breath and not cramped in like sardines. Felt strange for the first week as we all settled in but is so much handier having everyone in the one building rather than in two seperate buildings.
The new office is located just across from Foodtown so I always point out to maks where my office is "that's where daddy works", her reply is "me too" which i think is precious.
