I spent most of my day on Friday playing card games on my computer and listening to really good music.  I cleaned up my room a little and organised a few things i need to do.  Liam arrived and we watched a movie (Robin Hood, Prience of Thieves ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a really busy day. I had a meeting with the social welfare office in a move to get some much needed money off the government.  Before that I had to dig out loads of papers and bank statments and things like that.  The meeting was good, the woman i was dealling with was very nice and friendly.  I must go back in and drop off two more ( Read more... )

 The weather is a funny thing.  Our maybe it what we associate with weather that makes it interesting.  It's a totally miserable day here.  It's very coudy and raining and little windy and not particularly cold, just horrible.  And all I want to do is go up a mountain.

It is perfect mountain weather.  To be all wrapped up in my waterproofs with the ( Read more... )

On Friday evening Liam arrived, over from kerry.  It was about 9:00 and we decided to go see Indiana Jones - the new one.  We just made it, we even had to find seats in the dark.  I enjoyed the movie, it wasn't brilliant but it was watchable.  It was very different from all the others, but then I guess they are all different from each other.

It's not too bad, I can hold my breath for 1 minute and 35 seconds.  Before I went travelling I was able to hold it for much longer, well not much longer, a minute and 40 and rarely a minute and 50 seconds.

It's a good thing to practice, I think.  It'll give me an idea of how long i can hold it when kayaking.  Of course the above times would never ( Read more... )

My computer is now all set up for the internet, I do have to share the connection with my dad, so if he's online then I’m not. It's very cool though to be almost sitting at my desk with my laptop somewhat on my lap and looking away at everything online. I love the internet.

I'm much closer to being employed than I was this time yesterday. I rang La ( Read more... )

So i'm really on the last leg of my years travelling.  I have 2 weeks and 5 days left.  I know it's really sad i'm counting down the days til i get home.  Don't get me wrong i'm having a wonderful time, I am just really excited about getting home and seeing everyone again, especially Liam ( Read more... )

After the storm the other day, there was an earthquake in Hamner.  I'm not sure exactly how far it is from Christchurch, but i've been told it's about 1½ drive.  Some people felt it here.  I wasn't one of those luck people.  It happened at 8:15 ish, so I figure i was on the bus then.

I would have love to have felt it.  An earthquake so close.  It ( Read more... )

Last night Ria and I rang home. It was great; we had a really long chat. I went to bed all happy and satisfied. I lay down in my bed, all cosy and warm, looking forward to a good nights sleep.

Next thing I heard was a howling gale beating against the house. It was so loud, I actually thought the house might blow down or that there was a tornado ( Read more... )
