Clockwise/counterclockwise

As best I can tell, water drains (really fast) in a counterclockwise direction. Besides driving on the left side ofy the road another difference to learn is that the off position on wall switches is UP, and that you post letters. We now have a car, three cell phones (none of whch numbers I. have yet learned, but have speed dial), and four library cards. Hmmm, what can we get two of - maybe school uniforms for Joseph. He got pants, shirts, a sweater and swell black shoes and also gym clothes. There is a small, well used library branch nearby. I drove around part of town yesterday, and in time will become less scared, more confident, probably not prettier (though there is a barbershop called barber shop nearby). I will talk to some audiologist next week about part time work. We have looked at several houses - one very pretty one but too small, etc (sort of an Alice in Wonderland, and/or Goldilocks feeling so far). Traditionally Kiwis do a lot of outdoor activities, so houses, especially bedrooms are fairly small in general, but we have found a couple so far that are larger. I have an appt with a physical therapist today, then we go on a quest for a hearing aid shop for new mold tubing and for a tea shop for some good tea and for an elelctronics store for a tv that Joseph can play his video games on, and the bank to get some checks. May all who read this feel as blessed as I do to have such wonderful family and friends. Manford
