The one thing I am always reminded of when living in New Zealand is the fact that although we don’t get high temperatures like they do in Australia what makes it worse in New Zealand is the humidity – no matter how well the air is circulating with the fan on high it is difficult to keep cool. One thing I did do to help the situation was to give myself a haircut with some clippers I have – 25mm all over and I feel a whole lot better, able to get a good night sleep.

That time of the fortnight tomorrow – pay day! I’m finally getting my scooter back on the road with my rego being paid this week (and most likely arrive next week) then on Monday the motorcycle shop will be picking up my scooter to get a new tyres for the front and back, fully servicing etc. so I can get it back on the road. I can deal with taking public transport but having a scooter does give you a degree of freedom particularly when you finish work late so if I end up getting the bus after 8 that I cannot get a returning bus until after 9 so a shopping trip that would normally take 40 minutes drags on to being more than an hour.

For dinner tonight I’m having fettuccine with some tomato sauce – nothing particularly fancy although if I had the time I would have loved to do a chicken fettuccine alfredo but that is more of a winter thing. Something I need to do next time I make this dish is to get some fresh cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, capsicum, maybe some fresh basil to add some green. Tomorrow night afterwork I’ll look at picking up some groceries, maybe I’ll an easy dinner at the store which I can heat up – supermarkets these days do a pretty good job at providing ready to eat meals but I guess it’ll be one of those things that I’ll make the decision based on what I feel like at that moment.
