Sorry I haven’t written in a while but, since I left you, the job situation’s sorted. I start at “Tempforce” tomorrow doing databases. It’s not the web work I was looking for but they’ve promised to find something more exciting when my mini-project’s up. Also encouraging is a few design companies emailing me to say that they’d like to look at me in the new year. Sue’s muscled her way in to a receptionist job working for Kiwi Dairies, I think. Money at last!

We went to Waiheke Island on Sunday, a titchy island just off Auckland. We paddled, ate fish and chips, waited for buses and drank beer while watching the Lewis v Tua fight. The poor Kiwis got ever so excited about their little fighter, neglecting to notice that he didn’t land a punch and was largely crap. Still, at least the All Blacks beat the French.

Going on a skydiving weekend tomorrow evening. I am shit scared of heights. You may very well never hear from me again. If I don’t see you again, have good lives…
