And we move again ..

For the second weekend in a row, we are packing our bags and moving houses. Being a nomad is not a lot of fun. Moving is painful :( Luckily for us, this is the last move for the next few months and we hope to settle in, unpack etc at our wonderful new long term rental place in Tahunanui, Nelson. We've got a fair amount of space (4 bedrooms), so we can definitely accomodate quite a few visitors. (the bottleneck is the lone bathroom, but thats pretty common in NZ!)

Telecom NZ is not the greatest phone/dsl provider. We tried to get the phone in our name in advance but this proved to be a bit too difficult. Mari finally managed to convince them to do so on Friday. We wanted to move our broadband connection from the old place to the new place, but they wont be able to get to it till the 8th of Feb. Yikes, we will be spending a fair amount of time in cafes over the next few days to get work done :( Not sure why it takes a company that long to flip a switch. Telecom had the unique distinction of winning the Supreme Ass Award for its Xtra Broadband Service. Hopefully our issues will be sorted out pretty soon ....
