So, I *am* alive.....
HELLLLLOOOOO!!!
Well I have been very slack at keeping in touch with a lot of you, and I apologise. Here is a quick update with what is going on with me.
I finished up at Whale Watch the end of April. I did not want to stay around over winter because it gets very boring and there is not much work. So I moved back to Chch. I then went away for a 2 week holiday with a friend around Nelson and Golden Bay.
I had never been in the area before so it was tons of fun. We went to pretty much everywhere between Kaikoura and up from Nelson to Farewell Spit. And did tons of stuff, a day walk in the Able Tasman and a boat trip, and a day tour on Farewell Spit. I caught up with Johnty in Nelson and my friend Gen in Mauria and also went to the west coast and Hanmer....tons! We got superb weather and it was a choice holiday.
I am now still in Chch for another week and then moving up to Hamilton. I got a job with NIWA up there - doing pretty boring lab work. But it will be something different and it’s only for about 5 weeks. So at the end of June I finish up there.
My plan after that is pretty random. What I want to do is join the next customs intake - and do the training with them. Down the track I want to end up working with drug/detector dogs. It could end up being something that could lead to tons of things and there is a lot of work, training and years to get through first. I am not sure ill even enjoy the beginning basic custom work - but we will see. So that’s my new plan, and I am not even sure if I will get into it yet - ill know by August.
I am already missing the whales and the ocean and Kaikoura, etc. But I ca not do that forever - and finally I need to sort myself out. I will still keep working towards working back on the sea and with whales in the “perfect” job - but in the meantime this will be something I can do.
So ill be in and out of Chch, and all around the country for the next few months, but as always I will have my cell ph and email :)
There is a lot of people I want to know how you are and what you are doing - so all and every reply from you all will be greatly received. And if anyone is free this week for a catch up in Chch I am around and bored!
As for other stuff well my family is all pretty good, and my animals. I loved my summer because I was in a different flat, and meet heaps of new people and did different things. I have caught up with a lot of old friends lately over past few months and there is more of you I want to see and hear from! So email me, replies garenteed :)
Sorry this is a general update - ill try update a bit more over the next while.
Anyway I want to hear from you all, so keep in touch! And keep the updates coming - I love knowing what you are up to - this LJ is the only way I keep in touch with some of you, I read it most days!
Luv and Hugs as always
