To and Fro

Rapahoe Beach, Greymouth

So right now I'm wishing that the concept of moving house was easy. We are due to be living on the West Coast by the middle of April and so far we have been sort of in negotiations with 2 banks. One was my bank who I spoke to last year about a mortgage, I contacted the same loan advisor since the lending rules have recently changed and after him promising twice in one week to contact me about it he failed to follow through both times which I think is rude. The second bank we don't belong to but they are a bit more relaxed about their home loan rules so hopefully this week we will have some positive updates about being able to buy a property down there we can move into straight away.

At the moment we are feeling like pieces of driftwood, like the ones on the beach in my photo, being buffered by the winds and pushed around by the tide. But on a positive note I have secured a job I can go into once we've moved and B is still waiting for his job contract so that's one thing that's out of the way.

Good to have jobs to go to. I love that beach photo. Good luck with the financing - have you found a place to buy?

I love driftwood and have a collection of some that I found on my walks thru the years. I agree, the person at the bank is rude for not calling you like he said he would. Those type of things really drive me crazy. It doesn't take long to make a call and be polite. That's great that you have a job lined up already. Wish you some good luck in getting a mortgage.

It must be very stressful for your trying to sort out the finances needed for the move. Hope it is sorted out soon.

Taking on a new mortgage is always stressful - even when there's no problem with the last one. It's a big mental leap - and then there's allllll the paperwork!

Feeling adrift is fine for wood on the beach (and the picture is beautiful). But it's not a good feeling at all for human beans though ;>). What a hassle and I sure hope it all works out perfectly --- and soon. Glad you have your new job lined up!

Change can be stressful. In a few months it'll be behind you.

Moving is not easy but starting a life somewhere new sounds exciting and a good way to reset.

Sending you positive vibes, Amy.

That is rude indeed, to fail twice to meet you.
Glad you found another bank and yay for the jobs!
I hate moving, really. Hope it is easy on you!

I can certainly relate as we were asked to leave the farm house because new managers were moving in, all to be done by 'Moving Day', June 1. We have a house to rent just down the road, but the waiting and the packing is quite frustrating sometimes.

Good luck with all you need to do, I'm sure it will all work out.

Thanks for sharing your link at My Corner of the World this week!

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe. At the moment we have them in a temporary shelter next to the Special Patrol Group that we've had for the last 9 months just so they can get to know each other before we intigrate the black ones in with the brown ones. These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Vondel

  I nthe heart of Devonport in Auckland is this little block of businesses. In my younger days I worked in this suburb as a legal typist for lawyers and to see it now as it is, it's made many changes over the years. This building is surrounded by older style buildings in the main street with businesses such as shoe shops, clothing shops, professionals, cafes, bars, restaurants etc. It's a very upmarket suburb with quite expensive houses along the waterfront. Vondel in the above photo is a restaurant but upon looking up their website, there wasn't alot of information about who they are. Linking up with  Weekend Reflections   and the  Weekend Roundup .
