Our new place

Here are some pics of our new place! Brody, Max and I have been in for over a month now, but finally (after school holidays) I have actually got everything unpacked!

Its in Torbay, at the North end of the North Shore (Auckland). Its a cute little one bedroom place, and has a nice (but

at the moment soggy!) backyard.

Its right on the edge of the long bay reserve, so we

have a lovely view of fields

and trees and cows and stuff out the back, and its about a 10 minute walk to the Long bay beach

, which is a 24 hour off lead doggy beach.

More photos are in the slideshow or on my Flickr site.

Catch up on what's happened in 2009...

This is a bit of what's been happening this year for me:

• I'm back at Glenfield College teaching in a permanent full time position. Teaching Senior Biology, junior science, and some junior maths (aahh!!)

• Still coaching the school girls basketball teams (they are doing well this year!), and also assisting in the coaching of the North Harbour U17 Rep team. We went to nationals and came third.

• Matt and I broke up. Very sad, but we are both happier now.

• Still doing HEAPS of doggy stuff with Brody and at club - still plugging away at obedience, doing better at agility (we have just been upgraded to the 8pm competitive class at club! And I'm instructing a new tricks class at club, and we are about to enter our first Heel work to music competition! See the video on the right for a look at us practising the routine.

• Brody, Max and I have recently moved into a cute little 1 bedroom flat in Torbay - pics coming as soon as its looking neat and tidy and how I want it to look!
