You can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink! And that is what I feel today about Heather being here in NZ. We have done everything we can to help her settle but I think deep down she wants to go back to the UK and I really can't be bothered trying to talk her out of it and try and make her see what a chance she has. At the end of the day it is her life, her decision, and if she regrets it when she gets back then it will be her problem. We have done all we can.
Apart from the above we have had a good day. We took Totty out and then drove to Waihi to get the train to Waikino and then have a walk in the gorge. The train was delayed due to a car on the track - not sure why - and so we left late.
We had a good walk though Heather was complaining as her feet hurt - fashion over comfort- it's an age thing!!!!
Got back to the station and had lunch and waited for the train. After a pleasant though somewhat boring trip back we made our way to Tauranga and went to look for comfy shoes for Heather and found two pairs.
We then went to take her mobile phone back as it is not charging. She was given one on loan and we now have to wait for two weeks to find out what the problem is.
Got home and Jon cooked a BBQ while I took Totty out and Heather sat watching TV. I really feel like giving her a good shake.
Dinner was OK but Heather told us she did not want to do any of the things we planned for Easter and so we thought of going to Oz. I don't mind where we go but Heather thinks all things Kiwi are boring. Not sure what we will do for Easter but I honestly think the best thing she can do is go home with her friend who is due to come out in July. She will then realise, once she finds a job (if she is lucky) and settles into a normal UK work life that maybe life here in NZ had a lot going for it!!!
P***** off??? Yes, just a little.
WEATHER
Cloudy to begin and then warm and sunny 23 degrees.
