Mixed bag, mostly good

We had a brown-out this morning while I was trying to boil and egg and make toast, and I thought: "Here we go again." Last Christmas our fridge died, and one new year our washing machine blew up (well, there was a lot of smoke). I thought the wiring here had gone. We were getting about 80 volts instead of 240 and now I know why it's a brown-out: I turned the lights on to test them and they were a strange amber. It was an area line fault and they fixed it so here I am back on the interwebs, yay.

And I have booked two weeks in Taupo in February, double-yay. Due to work, I could only go away in the first three of Feb or the first two of April, so I'm very relieved I managed to get something.

I'm about to go out to Greg's end-of-year work, and I'm slumped limp in front of the fan waiting for him to pick me up. I hope the restaurant has aircon. We had our staff lunch today at Greenfingers (they must be like buses), and my Thai chicken salad was so yummy, I'm going back there with Greg during the holidays.

And when I come home tomorrow, it will be the start of two weeks holiday. Can't wait!

Two weeks to recharge your own batteries. :^)

Hooray for holidays!

If our power went out while I was making breakfast, I'd assume I'd popped the breaker on the plug box again - it can't cope with the toaster and the kettle simultaneously.

I was in our local yumporium yesterday, and they had Devonport chocolate. That was the brand we were trying when I visited, right? I bought a huge chilli lime truffle log; it looks rich and delicious and I haven't even taken the wrapping off yet, nomnomnom....

My two weeks holiday has just begun. Now I have to clean and tidy before the visitors start arriving.

Granddaughter and her Mum are due on Saturday.

Enjoy your holiday. Try not to cram two weeks worth of work into tomorrow! :)
