Hi Andy, all good here thanks for asking.

Still settling in here in Auckland. Waiting for our furniture to arrive. Been here for nearly two months now and our container is only arriving in the port tomorrow. We're living in a fairly empty house with our only furniture (hired) being a couch, 4 beds and a washing machine and dryer.

Other than that we're very happy. The weather is getting better and we are getting to know the city. Lovely people and beautiful seaviews everywhere you go so it is pretty cool. It's very different from what we are used to so we are also still adjusting.
:D

Been eyeing a 2-IBC half-built AP system on a local auction site but not sure where I would position it in the garden or how I would transport it. The problem is that it has live fish so I can't take my time to build it out if I buy it - I would have to get it operational quite quickly and I am not sure I could pull that off with my severely restricted time at the moment. :think:

I should be buying a vehicle this week and have just eliminated all vehicles without towbars from my watchlist. :headbang:

Sorry to hijack your thread Francois!

Regards, Martin.
