Still here...

I know, I know, I'm rubbish at updating this thing...but I'm here now so all's good!

So, I've been here about 2 months now but feels like so much longer. Work is good, settling in well and almost getting used to the differences in the maternity system, huge as they are. The house is now pretty much fully furnished, including a spare bed so if anyone wants to visit you'll have somewhere to sleep!

Gave in and bought a new car. My completely irrational hatred of my old Honda leg me to go buy a stereo for it, thinking that that would make it better. Well one trip to the car dealer later and not only do I have a new stereo but I'm getting it fitted in a new car! Well, not new, but new to me and its much better so I'm a much happier driver now.

Sadly the rubbish weather has continued, mostly rain and windy..even had hailstones today. BUT, the forecast for the next few days is sun sun sun so we'll see!

Now I'm planning my road trip for my November holiday. Got a week off and instead of sitting around moping on my own I've decided to get out and see some of the island, visiting friends along the way. Need to head North to Auckland and then South to Napier and onto Masterton so should be a good trip...lets hope the weather holds out for it!
