Dry July.

 Hello there my friends.
I hope that you're well.

Today I gave myself a test. I had booked in a horse riding lesson.

I booked it 3 weeks ago in an all weather arena.

I wanted to know, how well I went on a horse after having a break, and to see if I still enjoyed the lessons and horses. I really enjoyed being on Maddy this morning.

It was lovely, to trot on her, to find my beat with Maddy. Other big horses were there too being exercised.

It was lovely to be under cover while riding.

We went to a cafe and had lunch out. Tomorrow we are all day at church doing church youth group.

Today we completed our wills, it's quite a personal thing.

Andrei is talking about living over in Oz, I said yes, and Whitsunday islands are calling me.

They need chefs and bakers, and there's water and beach.
I'm looking forward to the adventure, I've moved out of home, a few times but Andrei never.

So it's going to fun to make our home together.

I'm indebted to Vesi and Greg to have us to stay here.

We don't know when we'll go over, but it's it in the goal spreadsheet.

Andrei loves his goals, and it's good.

Well I better make some fried rice for our dinner before our family goes out bowling.

Lots of love 
Chloe

Ps, the title of this post was a joke a play on words, because it's been a very wet July.

Island time

 Hello my friends.

How are you?

I hope that you're having a really lovely day today. Despite the cold weather.

Yesterday we went to the zoo here in Wellington.

Most of the animals were hibernating and hiding.

I've started on the book front, I've found a publisher, and an artist.

I'm thinking of going on Amazon, oh exciting.

Andrei got me a kindle, and now I take it everywhere.

Since coming to live in Wellington, I also have known to just take it easy.

Learning to do so, take time, and eventually retraining your brain.

Recently I have learnt this, Andrei loves looking into things, where is I'm impulsive, and would just go for it. You could say stepping out in faith.

Now if I you know  Andrei as much as me, he likes his time, to himself, where as I've been brought up serving to people, now if you are a people person, forcing your way into someone who needs time away to think and act and think about it.

That's the secret of growing, thinking things through, and then act.

Recently I got a debit card, woo hoo, I thought, I'm going out to town, and dear Andrei will say yes to everything.

Like he does with my horse riding lessons, and my singing lesson and my Udemy courses.

Currently, learning, about Self publishing and massage, plus my Kindle and still having times to write.

And really be there for friends.

This book project isn't just mine, it's Andrei's too. we talk much about what to do.

It's communication, that makes the world go around.

We have bounced ideas off, each other, and exploring all avenues.

Not just one look and going with it. 

So it's all being open about what goes on, and how we talk and respecting each other.

It doesn't mean each person is right, or wrong, but if we talk about it, then we can be singing from the same song sheet.

They are my thoughts for the day.
