Settling in

In our flat, we were twenty meters from a sheep ranch.  Now, having moved to a rental house, we are a block away.  Tara prepared two new dishes tonight- lamb and pumpkin.  They were both very tasty.  I have not reviewed nutritional info on lamb versus other options.  The availability of lamb has put some additional variety in our menus. We also have seafood in abundance, so there is more than just red meat.

Three days a week, Tara and I go to the YMCA.  This is starting to help with strengthening and aerobic capacity, but it is still early days as we say.  We ride bikes once or twice a week- not a lot, but fifty times more often than last year.  I also get to walk to work which is only a block away.

I get four-day weekends off for Christmas and New Year's.  We try to use the weekends to check out southern New Zealand, but sometimes just rest at home instead.  We now have phone, internet and satellite T.V., but willingly leave these behind for outdoor activities.
