Rain rain go away...

We have had some phenomenally yucky weather in the last few days, and it hasn't really slowed down yet either. Early in the week there were even power cuts that caused some pretty major chaos in the city and a lot of companies wound up sending their workers home since there was literally nothing else they could do. We were lucky that the power didn't go out at our house, although you could have been forgiven for thinking it was going to, the thunderstorms and lightning we had yesterday felt like they were right on top of our roof.

As a result of all of this miserable wetness, we even have a fire going today - which we usually only do at night time !

The house is becoming more and more organised and tidy, we were given a liquor cabinet by Roland's dad, which basically has a nice big compartment for glasses and cups (with a glass door and is split into two shelves), and then a small cupboard with a sliding bottle holder (although that part is still empty at the moment).

(Sorry about the fuzzyness, just took a quick snap with the cellphone.)

Roland is also busy installing a ventilation system for our house which should further help with drying out / warming things up, since NZ houses get pretty damp on account of the aforementioned miserable winter weather. Photos of that will come later as right now he is busy making a mess and cutting holes in the ceiling where the vents need to go.

We were also lucky to have been given a baby gate by Jax's mum, since it wouldn't fit at her house, and fits perfectly at ours ! We only really have one doorway at the moment that will need a gate, so that was awesome (and practical!).

No other grand plans for the weekend really since going out isn't really worth it, I think most people will be staying inside where it's warm and relaxing ! There might be another update tomorrow if the ventilation system is complete, AND there might be some progress made on the office (the only room that still looks like a bomb site since we moved in, heh...).

Take care folks !

Love J, R & Baby Girl Bird
