7 days and counting...

Yes indeed folks, we only have 7 days left in our beloved flat. Hard to imagine we've been there for 6 months, we cannot fully convey to you how quickly it feels like the time has passed. We are aware that our posting has dried up lately, this is due to lack of access to computers, time and money constraints and also simply because the weather has been so good recently, we don't want to spend all our time in a smelly internet cafe. We have literally hundreds of pictures to show you all and have many activities and outings to report on (including our night out for New Year and the travels of Mum, Bill and Carla which will be posted asap), it's just finding a decent amount of time to do it.

So to tide you over, here's a wee update on our lives. The weather has finally turned into proper Summer weather, we are getting sun almost everyday, and even when we don't it's still really warm so we can finally get some use out of our shorts. This has also meant we can spend a lot of time outdoors and have been enjoying lounging about on our deck and wandering the city and town belt. We recently went up to Auckland for The Big Day Out music festival, which was a great day, saw a number of bands including Evermore, Kasabian, Muse and The Killers and met up with Bryan (another fellow Bunac-er) who we hadn't seen in ages. We have also been heavily planning our travels in Oz and Thailand and are really looking forward to getting on the road again. However, it will be sad to leave the flat as it has been an amazing place to live for our first flat together. Laura's sister Ann-Mhairi and her boyfriend Wil touched down in NZ yesterday and arrive in Wellington today, they're in NZ for about 3 weeks so they'll be travelling at the same time as us which will be great. I'm off to a Burns Supper tonight with another 9 scottish lads i've met over here, football chat, food and booze...you cannae beat it! We've got quite a busy week ahead, sorting out bills, furniture returns etc so will try and update the blog before we leave Wellington. We've added a couple of posts, Christmas and my Birthday (which is a couple down the page), but stay tuned for more coming soon.

Take care, and we hope you're all well. Below are pictures of Laura and I on a trampoline for your amusement.
