Are we Kiwi yet?

I'm not sure when we officially become kiwi's...

first bungee jump?

So... never. :)

We've moved in to the house, and we LOVE it, the chicken in the backyardis icing on the cake. She was up and walking (and squalking) around yesterday, but today wouldn't budge from her nest. Apparently she's brooding, and we haveno idea what that means. Unfortunately there are like a dozen eggs under her right now that we have no access to. We should have grabbed the eggs while we had the chance yesterday!

Here's a video of dave's negotiation with Coco. It didn't work out very well. No eggs were collected and no animals were harmed in the making of this video. Dave was pecked (lightly) once off video.

We have just started getting things set up here in NZ - like bankaccounts, tax numbers and car registration. It's been raining all dayhere, making errand running rather wet.It's really pretty here, and pretty darn cold. We're in for muchworse come winter, though.Dave and I have reassessed our wardrobes already. I've never seen dave wear wool until last night.We live 2 blocks away from the steepest street in the world, and we've learned that libraries charge you to borrow books and cd's and dvd's. Unusual. We met up with our friends-of-friends, and they are super nice. We look forward to having dinner with them at some point soon. So apparently the time change between us is different now due todaylight savings. You are three hours ahead of us on the west coast(on the previous day) and six hours ahead of us on the previous day onthe east coast. For example, at 1pm our time on Tuesday, you are at4pm on Monday in CA, and 7pm in Boston. Soon we'll have internet, and that will come into play. We just set up phone, our new number is 03 473 0046 from the states that's 011 64 3 743 0046.
