After a couple of Skype catch-ups we headed to the local church which meets in the school where the girls will go to. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming which was great. I spoke to a chap who lived in Bracknell for 14 years. In the UK that would be something you’d attempt to hide, but on this occasion it was nice to be able to share memories – including my regular trips to Bracknell rubbish tip over the last couple of months.
Jane drove ‘the beast’ back home from church – her first time in NZ and her first time in an automatic. We made it safely back which was nice.
after a power nap we headed out to look at things we need for the new house. our relocation lady is phoning us tomorrow and i think she’s expecting a shopping list so we spent all afternoon looking at fridge freezers, washing machines and tellies.
i failed to take a picture of the sign outside the shop which said something along the lines of “Sale Bargains – bring your trailer and your wife”. It seemed the world and his wife (and a few trailers) were doing their sunday workship at the mall.
after the exhaustion we headed back home for a drink and a game of rummykub.
Tomorrow holds many more exciting things: registering for tax numbers (even the girls can have their own tax codes), registering the girls at school (so they can hopefully start later this week) and we may even start our search for cars so we have something to drive once the hire car goes back.
oh, and in the food experimental stakes, we tried this today. verdict ? fail

“Speights, no mates!” is a local leg-pull you might hear given the beverage of choice displayed here. Monteiths beers are nice, as are most of the Macs range; Steinlager and Lion Red are the staple of many a BBQ and sporting event. Enjoy the tastings!
