Woops!

I committed a cardinal sin today, that all pregnant women hate when someone does it to them. I was chatting to another fellow pregnant person who had a rather big tummy. "Oh you must be about the same as me!", I said. "I'm due next week". "I'm due in August", said the other woman...Woops. 
She was carrying very high and out in front, I am carrying low and more out to the sides, hence how everyone looks at my tummy and can't quite believe I'm due next week. Oh and I wear a lot of black : ) 

So Maru chan and I are doing well. No problems so far.  Feeling good to face another week till DH gets here. He is in Europe now. About as far away as you can get from NZ. Not the best place when your wife could technically go into labour at any moment. But I don't feel like it might happen any minute. Let's hope it stays that way!

Have been out walking with the dogs up the Maitai river. It is so beautiful there so yesterday I took some photos. 
I think this looks very "Lord of the Rings"


This is where I sit in the sun and wait for everyone else to catch up with me ;)
Pretty nice huh? We have had the warmest May in Nelson for ages so it has been so nice to be here. 15-18 degrees every day and sunny. Just perfect for me. 

Last weekend, we went to Mapua, about 20 minutes drive from Nelson and had lunch on the wharf in the sun. I had yummy fish and chips and no that is not my glass of wine.
The bad stuff that is still going on with the Fukushima Powerplant is a whole world away from where I am now. I feel so lucky to be here, even though DH is not, but he will be soon! Only 9 more sleeps!

  1. Wow, what a beautiful place! How is the weather? Is it tropical there? I don't know much about New Zealand except that it I've heard it is very green. Do you have to worry about the ozone layer/skin care more than in other places?

  2. Hi Lorie

    I think NZ is very green as in lots of trees!It's not a tropical climate where I am in the south island though right in the far north it is semi-tropical. We do have to worry about the lack of ozone over us in Summer and many people are taking more and more care to protect themselves from the sun. Where I am in Nelson is very dry in summer and hot, winters are mild and mostly sunny I think. I'd much rather be here than in Iwaki where it's getting humid and hot right about now.
