Crowded House

Wednesday

The Mount is definitely getting busy. It takes an extra 10 minutes to drive anywhere, as there is a perpetual traffic jam outside our building. The holiday-makers aren't the quietest either, as Ro has gone out on the balcony to shush people on the sidewalk or in the atrium of The Anchorage more than once. He even opened the door of our apartment to shush a couple of young men carrying cases of beer down the hall. At night it's no better; since there's no AC, we leave our patio door and windows open to maintain a comfortable temperature in our apartment. Unfortunately, that leaves our ears vulnerable to noisy groups of pedestrians below, long into the night until the bars close.


Chillin' with Barnaby in Coronation Park this week


Alien invasion

We've stuck close to home this week, spending a lot of time at the pool. Ro's getting a little possessive of the pool, though, and got a little upset when both spa tubs were too crowded to get in this afternoon. We explained to him that The Anchorage is filled to capacity and he'd just have to wait his turn, to which he responded, "but I'm cold!"

It didn't take long for Ro to try a few stunts

Mark took Ro to The Rock House this afternoon for a change of pace. It had been a while since we were there, but he managed to climb a new route he'd never been able to conquer before. They even ran into Marama, the nurse manager from the Tauranga ED, who was there with her own son.

"R" for me!
