The New Year

Here we are in 2009. Got a call from another division of the IT company I was contracting to and offered work for another 2 months - phew! Paying off those Xmas bills though the wife and I were very careful this year given the situation with finances and work.

The weather has been great and a break staying with friends in Wellington was just wonderful. But, the air-conditioning on my car decided to break down on the day the temperature hit 36. It was a long hot drive back home at the end of our holiday. Then I got a $1,500 bill to fix the car. Some much for 'frugal' being the theme for 2009.
