sidenote, once again

hello, once again writing this cheekily from work. had a good week, played football on sat (lost 8/9 nil, lost count) then chilled out, got drunk friday night for Jonny's bday, sunday had winter christmas, a 3 course meal and dressed up. monday-friday was working, enjoyed it, been in a shop doing some repping as well as being on the phones, also cooked lots, went ice skating and went out with work yday, it was free bar and I was worse for wear after half 7. going to laser tag tonight, lasagne and pyjama party (fuck yeah!), football tomorrow and a house party then chilling out sunday ready for work again. Loving life, settling down into a pattern and having a good time. we've also started watching Game of Thrones! love x

sorry i lied to you and didn't start updating my blog properly, what with work and other stuff, plus internet being annoyingly not free I haven't got round to it, having to remind myself to write my daily updates as it is. I'm cheekily writing this from work having worked my first monday-friday week for the first time in the year and i don't even have the desire to throw myself off a rather high building, i've had a good week and finished it with a few beers in the office. Rather uneventful as been going to bed early to get over saturday night, got offered another job though turned it down as happy here. Been feeding pretty damn well as hooked up with Adam and Simon and others and been cooking for a few people at a time, plus it seems there's a birthday every other day and a cake going round so been eating alot but it is winter in my defense. Chilling out tonight with a few beers, football tomorrow then sunday quite a few of us are going to the pub for 'mid winter christmas', have a 3 course roast on teh way which looking forward to immeasurably before back to work monday and i don't hate that prospect. I'm really starting to settle in and get in teh "i live here" state of mind, it's the longest i've been in one place for a while and i'm enjoying it. roll on next week! x

sidenote- Got a job!

hey. I know this hasn't been updated for a while though hopefully that should start changing, I'll start uploading my daily entries from way back in Cambodia tomorrow, though just thought I'd let you know how the last couple of weeks have been in Auckland. Highlights include going to the All Blacks-Ireland game, playing a few more games of football and futsal, won a few games which was nice, had sunday funday where we got hammered, went out yday on town and had a grand night, chilled out and went up one tree hill. Though by far the best highlight was getting a job, sorted by Dave, a lovely bloke in my football team. I'm working for Skinny Mobile, a new network, making outbound calls upgrading people's phones which will soon be made redundant by their antiquated network being switched off, it's chilled out, good people, well paid plus has a few perks, such as free credit. I'm working monday to friday, 9-5:30 in the city centre which is walkable, so all is good. No lowlights to share as there hasn't been any, loving my hostel and the people that fill it, spend alot of time hanging out and catching up on each others days and having dinner. lots of love x

sidenote- good on yer liz

hey. it's monday and everyone has it off for the queens jubilee. i've had a really good couple of days. On saturday i met up with my mate Andy, a lovely bloke who i met on the trans sib, he took me around and got a back account sorted, then he took me over to Mission bay where we had a burgerfuel, naturally i got the bastard and it was stunning. we went for a little wander, he drove me round the town pointing out cool bits and pieces, we checked out an outlet centre then went to watch his football team play. they were short so i played the full 90mins at centre back, we lost 3-2, it was a dreadful standard though was good to be out there running round again, they gave me some kit and i'm down to play next week. in the evening i cooked meself a meal and watched moneyball with people. sunday was a chill out day, i read my book for a few hours, finished LOTRs pt 1, walked up mt eden with a few people and had a glass of wine up there and then Matt (a chef staying at the hostel) did a roast dinner which was amazing. he did bloody well and cooked for 23 people, we all washed up and mooched a bit, played scrabble. this morn done some washing and looking for jobs, prob go for a run later. oh, didn't go to the blues game on sat, i was with Naomi who would rather go to the all blacks game against ireland this coming sat at eden park (where the World cup final was), so have got tickets!!! hells yeah!!!

sidenote: a plain hey

hey. so, just finished my first day at work, was door to door and not for me, so I phoned up the bloke, left a message on his voicemail stating i no longer wished to do it. Sitting in the internet cafe a bloke has just offered me a job in a call centre, so need to email him my details and chase it up. I went to football training and really enjoyed it, though everyone was taller, faster, fitter and just better at football then me, though really good to be out playing again. tomorrow i'm meeting up with my mate andy to have a look around and set up a bank account, then the blues game in the evening with a girl from teh hostel if she's managed to sort tickets, then sunday no plans. i'm off to the pub now with some people from work, ta ra
