Oriental Bay and back again...

Well, it has been an eventful few weeks!


I moved into my new place and realised it was rather horrible! I only spent 5 ins looking and just grabbed it when it was offered as I really felt I needed to move out of Adam's - he has a flatmate who has been very good about having me stay for so long but it was never meant to be that long. Anyway, I realised when I moved in that they had no internet, it was freezing cold and damp and mouldy and the toilet smells really bad! And the stove doesn't work. So I only stayed there 2 nights and yesterday I moved out, or at least let them know I'm moving out. The boys there are going too, so no big deal. I am moving into Adam's in preparation of us moving in together! His flatmate moves out early December and then the two of us will take over the lease. It's a really lovely flat and I am very happy about it.


Work is good, busy but am getting the hang of it. Very nice people. And also I have made a couple of friends which is lovely and such a relief. I have been out every night this week so far, which has never happened before and has made me very happy!


So, it's all about the rugby over here. The big final is this Sunday...


... and Adam and I are going away this weekend! It's a long weekend, Monday is labour day here and we are taking his scooter over to the south island on the ferry and we'll then go as far as we want! We are going to Picton for sure (the other terminal) and from there maybe Nelson and maybe Golden Bay. Which will mean only slightly less to you than it does to me! But apparently Golden Bay is beautiful and will mean 4 hours on the back of a scooter... hmm.... But anyway, will be lovely to get away.


I'm feeling much better now though. I had such a bad week a couple of days ago, was terribly homesick. But got better after 4 days after a chat with a couple of friends from home on facebook, which helped immensely.


So... that's me! More news to come, will try to be more regular :o)
