Coffee and TV

I've been here in Wellington for two weeks already! Still no job on the horizon, but I'm trying hard - have to turn the TV off in the day as daytime telly is shocking here!

I've also been exploring the local area and going to the gym, which is a first! We have one on site, as well as a tennis court, swimming pool and BBQ area, roll on summer! We're going to start a Tae Kwon Do class next week so really looking forward to getting into that and meeting people. Weather-wise we've had a great two weeks - it was 15 degrees yesterday and I was walking outside in a t-shirt, not bad for winter.

We're both looking forward to the weekend as it's the Wellington Film Festival and the culmination of Maori Language Week so there's lots to do.

More importantly, it's my Grandad's 80th Birthday on Sunday, so Happy Birthday Grandad! Wish we could be there to celebrate with you.

Back in New Zealand/Aotearoa

Finally in New Zealand with Toni after a long trip involving four plane journeys. I've just about got over the jetlag and having a great time getting back into the Kiwi lifestyle. At the moment I'm unpacking all our stuff (it's like Christmas!) in between applying for jobs. I'm tempted to go for a wander into town as it's a lovely sunny day, about 12 degrees but feels about 2! Toni is feeling better after having a bad virus for the last week so she has just gone back to work.

Thanks to all those who came out for leaving drinks in Cardiff and Crewe, it was hard to say goodbye but we'll be back in a couple of years to say hello again.

The picture is the wonderful view from the appartment we're renting (yes it is frost you can see!), there's all sorts of wildlife outside so I've got my binoculars next to the tv!

Until next time..
