The first six months living in my own house (it’s the first time I’ve ever managed it) have been surprisingly fun. Discovering the domestic goddess within I have not only managed to paint the roof but found new kitty Ajax, discovered that most curtains are expensive but some are more boring than others, and embarked on my first renovation project.
Houses are nice to live in, but boating is much more exciting. Happily, Matty, Mike and I have booked a sneaky three weeks in California mid year. June in Christchurch is dark, cold, there isn’t any snow, and even the ever-popular pot luck dinner format is wearing thin. The prospect of sunshine and Californian creeking meant May zoomed by as I got off the couch and tried to get vaguely fit. Balancing the house and holiday budget meant that going wild on new toys wasn’t really an option, but somehow I acquired a new boat, camera and pink hoody (thanks Ngaio) in the lead up to the trip.
We fly into San Francisco on 26 May and pick up our rental carrrrr. In a trip which is bound to do terrible things for our carbon footprint, we plan to drive a big shiny inefficient American SUV all over the state in search of boatscoutable class four. And maybe some class five for Matty, which I can walk around.Photos from Cali soon!
