Weekend Update!

It's funny to think that I am writing this on Halloween! It doesn't seem to be anything near what Halloween is in the States. People on the news are talking like it is an option for people to take part in. Also it is weird that it is all of 19 degrees outside, I'm used to 19 Fahrenheit!
As for the rest of the weekend we spent the time hanging around the house and doing some more chores. We built a little awning outside for Alex to turn into a patio sometime in the future. Today we spent the day painting and doing little maintenance things around the house.
Yesterday Alex went to a friend of his named Carol and took us along. He goes to trim the nails on her goats and chat about life. We got to join in and as an extra bonus we got to wander around the Alpaca paddock and pick up their poo so they could use it as fertilizer.
Ryan, Po Yee and I went for a walk on Saturday along the river that runs through town and it runs a long ways and is really, really well kept! I was so surprised for a public park! It isn't just a bunch of concrete and gravel either it was a wide swath of grass and trees along the bank of the river.
This week looks pretty normal to me. Tomorrow I think Alex and I are going to run off and and get some car parts so that I can get the Bluebird running soon hopefully. On Tuesday it is Ryan's birthday so Alex is taking us all to Ragalan, which is apparently the surfing hotspot in New Zealand. I'll give you a report on that when we get back!
Ryan and Po Yee are leaving on the 4th so after that it's just me pestering Alex all the time. I think that I am going to move up north sometime around the 8th or so. I do know that I am going to end up on the Hanna Berry Farm in Hastings between the 15th and 17th of November. I am planning on staying there for a couple of months, I am super psyched for it because it sounds like the bulk of the work is supervising the visiting pickers and running a roadside stand or a farmers market booth!
Still having a great time, trying to figure out a better way to share pictures with everyone so hang tight!
