It's your long lost, tired, very hot friend from down under here who isn't quite sure where almost a week and a half went. We've been having a heatwave down here (which is very unusual) and it's been very hot and sticky here in Auckland. Sleep has been very hard to come by (this morning the cat woke me up at 2am and I was too hot to even try and go back to sleep). So I'm feeling that now that the afternoon has rolled around.

Australia has had terrible heatwaves too, so severe that springs that have never before run dry have dried up and there were awful photos of herds of Brumby horses (Australia's wild horses) dead because they couldn't find water. Now North Queensland (where our old friend Teila is) has been hit with terrible flooding. And I see parts of the US have been freezing their behinds off due to the polar vortex losing its sense of direction.

We've just had our first two open homes over the weekend and there's been a lot of interest. Our agent is working very hard and singing our property's praises. One person who did a private viewing is still very interested but they have to consider the commute. It's a very nice drive until you hit suburbia again - lots of farmland and beautiful sea views.

And finally, in answer to @bruceha2000 's question (a week and a half ago) about what the plan was when we do sell - as long a settlement period as possible and if worst comes to worst we'll be camping on my parent's 10 acre block that they haven't started building on yet. Caravans aren't too expensive to rent. We'll just have to put up with a lot of wind as it's very windy where they have bought.

@KDOGG331 you be careful around those wasps please. There was a lady up North who recently got stung very badly after disturbing a wasps nest. She headed for a water trough to get them off (she ended up with over 200 stings all over her). Then she started going into anaphylactic shock and it was only because her daughter was still staying with her (she decided to stay one more day and thank goodness she did) and quickly rang for an ambulance that she survived. Wasps are truly nasty!
