John and I have opted for a lazy, stay at home Easter Weekend. We’ve managed to combine being deliciously lazy with being highly organised.

As many of you know, we have opted to go for a partner visa for our move to NZ – ie I apply for residency and John sponsors me in. We decided to dedicate some of the weekend to getting to grips with what we need to do, the timescales asssociated with applying and fishing out all the evidence we need to demonstrate we are in a ‘genuine and stable relationship’. We’ve come up with a list of questions for the NZ immigration dept. The one that has us baffled the most is providing evidence of how we share household duties. Do we take photographs of me cleaning the bathroom and John taking the recycling out? Do we mock up a rota system? Any suggestions out there?

Other than visa stuff, we’ve had brunch in our favourite cafes everyday, played golf twice, watched the F1, watched the NZ v England cricket, watched the NZ Warriors v the Parramatta Eels, and went to the cinema to see ‘Brick Lane’. We also planned on going for a walk in a national park south of Sydney, but so far every day I’ve dismissed the idea along with some rather flimsy excuse – there’s still Easter Monday to go!
