Takapau

In the middle of nowhere. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Staying in the house with me is a girl from Japan (so lovely) and a guy from France, whose accent is thick and can't understand what he says alot so i alternate between laughing and giving blank expressions.

I have seen my first apple tree! The apples however are all not edible as the summer has been bipolar and they haven't ripened and are bad. There is a pet goat. Really friendly but I swear it has evil eyes. Dude, he has a 3D tv. I didn't think people actually bought them. Speaking of having outrageously nice technological gadgets. I of course didn't bring my laptop and was using Umi's (that how imagine her name is spelled..) and Paul (the host) said oh hey I have an old one you can use while you're here. Uhhh yea an iBook is soooo old. Cadbury hot chocolate for morning tea :) also I discovered that my fav candy in the entire world (already mentioned strawberry gummy candy) is sold at local grocery stores near me. Welcome to my life and diabetes.

I wielded my first chainsaw today. Scared I would somehow saw of my foot. Luckily this did not happen. Also lemon trees are surprisingly pretty. And the secret of having all your groceries growing in your yard is just the luck of the soil. Depressing I know, but now everyone doesn't have to feel bad about their lack of "green thumb". Just have to move out to NZ.
