Hi people. I’m sitting in a coffee shop over the road from our new apartment because we still don’t have broadband in the house yet (hopefully by Monday or Tuesday we should be back in business). It’s raining right now, but when we walked over, it was beautifully sunny. July is the mid-winter month in NZ, and the weather won’t get any worse than this at least! I would say that the winter weather in NZ is much like a fair spring in Scotland. Some days you get a bit of rain, some days are nice and lit by a high sun.
We don’t really have any photos for you this time because we have literally left the house to go to the doctors, that’s it. We’ve both been bed ridden for most days this week, I’m feeling well enough to venture to the coffee shop to appease my web withdrawals but otherwise, we won’t be doing much else this week either. I was supposed to have a technical ability test and interview with a recruitment firm yesterday morning but I was coughing up a lung and visiting the toilet every few minutes, so I had to cancel, making it the second interview I’ve had to cancel thus far. I’m bummed to say the least.
The doc’s have told me my immune system is a wreck and that I’ve got various things all going on including the flu and streptococcus c, so I’m on a heavy dose of antibiotics for the next ten days. Lucky me!
Suzy is not really much better, as she can’t even take any medication for her ills, so she is coughing constantly. She’s not getting much sleep at the moment either so combine that with the pregnancy, I’d say she’s been better!
Every cloud has a silver lining though, on the day I went for my blood tests to figure out what was wrong with me, Suzy also went for her ultrasound and just in case you’ve not seen the photo already, here is our little mite bouncing around. It very nearly brought tears to my eyes in the clinic seeing the miracle of life in action!
Bambino Ross!
