My missing bag arrived on Monday. When i saw it sitting on the table waiting for me i knew there was something wrong with it – it looked about half the size i remembered it being. It turns out, somewhere along the way, about half the stuff was taken out of the bag and not put back in. Some of the stuff i can just buy here like jeans, but some things i cant (like my teapot! – this is probably the one thing im most disappointed to lose as i cant find them anywhere here). The padlock was still on the bag so some sneakery went on!
Its been great to have Carol and her daughter here. They are both staying at the same place as me and have been visiting the kids with me. Yesterday they did some dental hygiene teaching with a song, Señor Dientes (a large set of teeth you would find in a dentists waiting room), and sticker charts for when they brush their teeth. The kids loved it. Merlin (a boy of 11 years) was helping Carol with the presentation and translation (he doesnt speak English), and Carol told me later that he was an amazing help and such a good leader.
I have found an apartment and will move in in the next few weeks. I need to talk to the guy again to find out exactly when he is moving out. Its the apartment i wanted last year, so i am very glad to be able to live there. Its located just across the road and down 40m from where i live at the moment.
Ive never had a coldsore before, but one sprung up a couple of days ago. I’ve had a little bit of a cold too, which is probably why the coldsore came.
The weather has been much warmer this week thankfully (high twenties to low thirties).
Those temperatures don’t sound too dissimilar from the temperatures we are getting back here in NZ!!
Hey Jared! Great to hear from you. I’ve been reading your blog – its good to read whats going on. Thankfully the weather is nice and hot again and should stay that way. I had heard the weather was pretty hot in NZ! – Rob
