Nearly the end of February!

A few people have asked how things are progressing with Donna's house. Like most building there was a bit of a hold up, they reached a point and were waiting for more stuff to arrive, and waiting, and waiting. This last week has seen it arrive and being done.

So the house is plumbed and the power cables all put through. The batts are in the walls but we still need to do the ceiling. When that's done, then a council inspection will happen. Then the gib can go up. After that it's all the pretty stuff lol - painting, bathroom, kitchen, carpet...Hoping to help her shift next door around April ;-)

Christchurch is the most dog friendly place I've ever lived. There are dog parks all over the city. These are especially fenced areas where dogs can run off the lead, and they have water for them to drink, most have a stream or pond to play in, most have an agility course of some description. Each Sunday, one of the dog parks, called Styx Mill does something called 'small dog Sunday'. As the title states, it's pretty much all small dogs hooning around, having a ball. Our dogs love big dogs (Archie loves Vicki's dog Brodie lol), but they do adore being with others their size, so most Sunday's we head there for play. There are usually about fifty small dogs and their owners. When they get home, they are zonked. Or hungry.

But ever so cute!

Have a great week folks.
