July questions 7-9
25 Jul 2021 04:12 pm7. If you had to move to a new city, where would you move?
Americans call just about every town a city, whereas here there are rules and we therefore only have five cities in the country. We left our biggest, Auckland, five years ago and did last year consider a move to Christchurch because there was a gorgeous house there, but the thought of going back to lots of traffic and few places to park and even fewer friendly locals put me off. I've got used to small(ish) town life and all the lovely eccentric people who live in this one. So I'll take this questions as "town". If I had to leave Oamaru for some reason, I'd pick Wanaka or nearby Lake Hawea in the central lakes district. They're more isolated than here, but consolingly beautiful.
8. What did your parents do when you were growing up?
Despair of me ever being normal.
9. When someone knocks on the door, who do you think it is?
The courier or postie, or if it's Monday or Thursday, the local dairy people with my glass! bottle of non-homogenised full-cream milk. The farm is about 5 minutes' drive south of home, and they have a small herd of cows, all of whom have names.
