NEW ZEALAND DIARY: February 2011
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 26, 2011. 84 HOURS AFTER THE EARTHQUAKE. THIS IS A COPY OF MY POST ON MY JOURNAL. Today I have begun to feel more able to function. I'm sure limiting the time I watch the reports from Christchurch has helped. Personally, we'll stooge along and hopefully keep our heads above water. This is turning into a gloomy kind of post and I didn't intend to do that. I do hope you'll have a look at Christchurch's Super-Loos. Another is in this clip about the Volunteer-Army. I love this story too, a...

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: HAPPY HOLIDAYS
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2011/07/happy-holidays.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. Wishing all my Canadian friends a belated happy Canada Day. Enjoy the remainder of your weekend. Wishing my American friends a wonderful time of celebration. Thank you, MargieAnne! Funny to think of you in the midst of winter, and wondering how much winter you actually get where you live. Rains maybe? July 3, 2011 at 1:03 AM.

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: PROUD TO BE A KIWI
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2013/08/proud-to-be-kiwiearly-morning-view.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. PROUD TO BE A KIWI. On Saturday our All Blacks secured the Bledisloe Cup. This is a rugby football competition between Australia and New Zealand. If you're starting to take this All Black dominance of Australia for granted, banish those thoughts. New Zealand's vice-like grip on the Bledisloe Cup - and Wallaby rugby minds - is now so absolute it should be considered a national treasure. Here is a link to the first race. With a very dramatic moment 45 minutes into the video. She's ...

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: January 2011
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 16, 2011. The news is awful. My heart reaches out to all who have suffered loss. Finding it hard to compute/accept the huge area, the amount of water etc. Hope all SFL people and families are safe but I guess you all know people caught up in it even if you are not. Stay safe through the clean-up. One way you can contribute to the Relief Fund is to go to Delia's Blog. Where she has posted a beautiful gift and details of how to help. Links to this post. Thursday, January 6, 2011. Our though...

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: March 2011
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 14, 2011. WHAT CAN ONE SAY? New Zealand is shocked and saddened by the earthquake and it's aftermath in Japan. My heart goes out to all those who are waiting and watching for news of family and friends. We were well informed and we received phone calls and texts from so many people it was almost embarrassing. It's so nice to know that we look after each other. We have a glorious sunny day with a bit of an autumn feel. I love these clear blue skies. Links to this post. Friday, March 11, 2011.

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: DISAPPOINTED. SNOW EVERYWHERE BUT NOT HERE
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2011/08/disappointed-snow-everywhere-but-not.html
Tuesday, August 16, 2011. DISAPPOINTED. SNOW EVERYWHERE BUT NOT HERE. That will sound odd to some folk but we live in a mainly sub-tropical climate with the odd frost between late May and October. New Zealand has been subject to an icy blast and Auckland experienced a flurry of snow for the first time since 1939. There is a dusting on the high spots of the ranges but nothing down here on the coast. Snow in Wellington is also unusual. Enjoy the video link. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: WELLINGTON: THE FOURTH TOP CITY IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO LONELY PLANET
http://newzealandmyhome.blogspot.com/2013/05/wellington-fourth-top-city-in-world.html
Wednesday, May 1, 2013. WELLINGTON: THE FOURTH TOP CITY IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO LONELY PLANET. Every now and then I see something I that belongs right here. Sadly this blog has been seriously neglected but I will come back to it full time one day in the future. For the time being my energy is going into my weight loss and family life. There are not enough hours in the day to do justice to my NZ Diary. In the meantime take a look at this video which captures the spirit of Wellington. Here is the link.

NEW ZEALAND DIARY: January 2012

Monday, January 16, 2012. A PHOTO WALK AROUND MATARANGI. Go to Growing Old Gracefully. To see photos and a little comment on houses. The photos are all holiday houses but you can find similar dwellings in most towns. The beach does bring it's own flavour of architecture. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
