On Friday at 6pm I found a job I would love to have. The job needed a specific application form and with the closing time being noon on Monday (today), I set my alarm for 7am this morning to ensure that, after a sleepless night caused by excitement/anxiety, I’d be awake in time submit everything…

“the other place”
“I’ll take it to the other place tomorrow” said Mr Incredible commenting on his pre-prepared lunch. This is what our home has now become, “the other place”. So simple a transition and yet one so large that we’re not yet believing what we’re doing. Last night in house – check Move things to new home…
Going, Going, GONE.
The worst thing about a Deadline sale is that there’s only one shot. Or at least, there was in our case. We heard this morning (after calling the agent to find out what had happened after the vendor’s saw the bids last night) that someone else had put in a great offer – and while…
What’s in a name?
A life of few regrets? The name of this website was created after a discussion with my beloved one evening. The conversation went like this: Me: “I don’t want to have regrets.

Perfect on Paper
Before coming to NZ we’ve had a year of thinking of what we might want to do. Accomodation, tourism, a place for people to relax, entertaining, room for animals and an orchard with vegetable gardens. We also hoped for something that Mr Incredible could branch out into a cycling enterprise and capitalising on new trails…
Can we stay?
We’re visiting my folks in the North Island right now and looking at properties along with enjoying the area. Along with the serenity of home cooking (I love my mother’s food!!!) the spring weather has very much hit and NZ is putting on a show for us. There’s a lot to think about though, some…
SO MUCH TO DO!
I know in my head that this is all going to come together. I also know in my head that we have a mountain of things to do and very few weeks to make it happen. 4 weekends. 2 weeks of school holidays… with small children who want to “help”. A husband who works full…
Sold…
While I don’t regret the direction we’re headed, I do very much appreciate what we have had here in Sydney and that life is indeed getting easier the longer we live here.
