Seems that the kiwi’s continue to take the spotlight on cricketing success after another nailbiting finish to a battle with the (former) number one cricket team in the world. Those Aussies will be pleased to be back on home soil after been chased down by the Black Caps in another of one day cricket’s historic innings. So, 3-0 to the kiwis with all to play for at the world cup!

Away from the sporting field, I wish I could be reporting more success. Kiwi Government is moving at snail’s pace to issue our land registration title. It’s now a week overdue following a mess up by the vendor’s lawyers. Any day now they keep telling me and I keep telling the builders.

Still, small progress is that Upper Hutt City Council have issued the building consent so we are allowed to build the house we want. All we need now is the Resource Consent which allows us to do the ground works on the land but this requires the title. Also, actually owning the land would be good too, you guessed it, that also requires the title.

In short, title is holding everything up and I am losing the will to live. Readers, please cross all fingers and toes and send lots of friendly messages to those you think will influence this fate and will Land Information New Zealand to issue us the blessed title.
