New pad shaping up well, following remodelling and deep clean of the front deck and back yard, and initial testing with a (themeless) house drink up. The Devon St place is shared with the entertaining Dan and Ben, both holders of outstanding government jobs, keen sports participants and fans, and also purveyors of above average conversation. Key features of the place are a goat track entrance, hair-pin bend alternative entrance, rugby watching room, sea view (just) and yoghurt maker.
A further local feature is the close proximity to the Pacific ring of fire. This made its presence felt at 2am last Friday morning, with a window and bed rattling earthquake of 5.2R. More than enough to coax one from one's deep slumber, but fortunately we did not have to take cover in the doorways (just the duvets). Still, a good chance for an early morning house meeting.
Getting to know the new NZer housemates has been hunky dory / choice / sweet as, with blues nights, pre-work singalongs over porridge, driving lessons for Dan, water blasting, roast dinners and dancing in dry ice filled rooms.

Hi there Moses! Thanks for dropping by my humble Yorkshire blog. The point you made about not being able to properly inspect goods inside the plastic packaging is one I hadn't fully considered but you are right - it is an issue. Sometimes things are hidden inside the packaging - things you need to see such as how the item would connect to the wall. Greetings to NZ. "Humberstone" is a name I have sometimes come across in Yorkshire - partly bordered as it is by the River Humber...
