Lucy and her mussels




Hi everyone

Lucy loves her seafood, and the big green hairy NZ mussels didn't disappoint. The pictures go in order: happiness, enjoying the mussels, and then sad because they're gone.

Enjoy!

Feeding the eels




Hi everyone

There are wild freshwater eels in Golden Bay that love to eat ground beef off of sticks. The experience was about as weird as it sounds.

Mud masks

Rory's fam's visit















Hi everyone

Enjoy the pictures! I'll be putting up more throughout the week.

By the way, my boss is suffering from two different heart conditions, and she isn't coming back to work anytime soon. She will probably be undergoing open heart surgery.

Second go at calling the ambulance

Hi everyone

My supervisor collapsed about an hour ago, and I had to call the ambulance. I'm finding out that I'm not very good at calling emergency services. I didn't know our address, the main phone line, directions...my mind was blank. Thank god our receptionist, Amberley, took over.

One minute Michelle was on the phone, and then I heard a yelp and I heard her fall out of her chair. I ran around to find her on the floor, shaking, and not responding. I yelled for help and there was nobody around, so I had to leave her to run around the office. It is a terrifying feeling needing help and not being able to find it.

It might be a heart attack, we'll see.

Love
Ames

Another week has flown by



Well, it is Friday again.
I don't have a lot to say today, but I needed to blog since it has already been a week since my last one.
So, what have I been up to? Taking my Business Grammar course (fascinating), playing with the new bunnies (cute), working (a bit frustrating), reading in Te Papa in the afternoons (relaxing), getting fingerprinted (intimidating), and cooking (improving).
Rory's mum and sister will be arriving on the 19th, so we have lots to do before then. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and Rory and I are going on a date to the Monet Exhibition at Te Papa (I'm pretty sure it is the real thing this time!). Tonight I am going out for drinks with my coworkers and then out to dinner with Rory.
Life is pretty good. Rory is slowly improving, and we have a lot of fun things to look forward to.
Love
Ames
