The 9-5 life...

Well, we haven't really done much over the last couple of weeks, we've moved house (much better than our last place!) and eaten plenty of good food!

Spring has arrived in Christchurch, there are now warm sunny days (a high of 22oC) inbetween the bitterly cold wet windy days!



Last weekend we went with our new flat mate Steve to the driving range and then on Sunday went for a nice walk up the hill behind where i work....

Little hut thing to show you've got to the top (oh and some historic meaning too).


View on the other side (Lyttleton etc).

Unfortunately Rob has to work this Saturday so any plans to do a 'weekend' trip are cancled and we'll have to find something interesting to do Sunday (probably end up shopping). Next weekend is Rob's big 30! We have a weekend away planned to Kiakora to swim with the animals (dolphins / seals) so i'll be posting photos when we get back from that.

After travelling and living in the Carribean for over two years now, it's strange living a 'normal' life again. We both have 9-5 jobs and weekends off (mostly), we have weekly food shopping to do, weekly washing to do (in a washing machine that washes your clothes rather than wetting them and pulling off buttons / adding rips). Our bags are unpacked and said bags put away. We have house keys and car keys and we know where we are sleeping each night and we haven't had a panic about tickets / passports / visas / wallets / hotel reservations for over two months now. I'm aware of the story line in Home and Away, Shortland Street, House, Boston Legal, Prison Break and a number of other trash shows. Everyone speaks English and it's become a novelty (even if a novelty that envokes some happy memories) to eat Thai food again. Emails are recieved from a friend of mine who has spent the last two years exploring South East Asia and Australaisa and i have to say my feet get itchier every time i get a new one.

Check out Sam & Andy's blog for an interesting read (link on the right) - they are currently in China having a great time.

I miss it, each and every panic, each and every dodgy meal, each and every crap bed, each and every new memory. And the feet get itchier as each day passes.....
