A Different Direction

We took a different direction today and turned right at the corner of SH1 to travel south, instead of our more usual trip north to Levin.  We had an appointment with the lawyer in our former home town, and were assured that things were running smoothly for Friday when we move in to our new house.  With a few more jobs done in Upper Hutt and ticked off our list, we headed off to Porirua.  What’s this?  Has that car got eye lashes?  Sure enough, parked in the car park was a dark blue car sporting a set of very long pale blue eye lashes!  Plus a sticker stating “Get Chick’d”.  Obviously a girl’s car, and only in Porirua……..

Another couple of items bought, and the next stop was Paraparaumu to check on the delivery date of our new bedroom furniture, and settle up the account.  It took all day to work through our long “to do” list, and we finally arrived back at the caravan at 4.00pm, where we were soundly told off  by Muffy for going out and leaving her  home alone – once again!

Tomorrow we will turn left at the corner and travel up to see how the builders are getting on with our new house.   This will be  the last day they have to finish off the fences and anything else still to be completed.  Mmm, hope the oven has finally been installed.  Guess we will find out how they are going tomorrow.
