First sign of spring

Today was a nice representation of spring. There was sunshine with occasional rain... morning and evenings were cooling, but not cold, and it felt nice when you are out in the sun.Hoping for better days ahead.

Well, we finally narrow it down to a faulty drain pump in our washing machine. For a while, we have been thinking that it may be a faulty electronic console, until Hannah's dad pointed out to us that we should take a closer look at the pump. We dismantled it the other day, and found a coin stuck in the discharge pipe. The stuck coin might have caused the pump to work harder, and thus causing it to overheat! For the next few days, we will be sourcing out new or used pumps and see if that will fix the problem. We may just add another DIY achievements to our accomplishments in NZ :)

Goal for coming week - bring my running gear to school so that I can go running while taking a break from writing/ work.
