Why hello yet again peeps. Yes its yet another lovely day gone here in Waiwera. The sun was shining, however the wind was chilly. We are currently organising an extention to our visa's, finding out the costs for the medical checks, the visa application and the likes. This comes out of our own pockets and isnt too cheap. But its very much possible. We have set our minds on staying longer, much longer. We no doubt miss you all, but in all honesty this is our own personal time to live life. You know do those things few only dream of, [View Full Entry]

Hello again happy readers With the amount of messages I recieved asking about my spacs I thought it only fair if I did a full on update. I havent found them, I have a feeling they are long gone. As a result I have had to go and order new ones. Slight bummer as there goes most of my savings. $700 for specs and the eye test. However thats not all. No... Bradley is looking at getting contact lenses and FUNKY glasses. Well funky for me, yellowish arms... ooh... Anyway I went to the optician and spoke to a lady who [View Full Entry]

Why hello peeps Yup, glasses are definately gone, and no doubt never to be seen again. Im looking at utilising the company insurance system as I lost them whilst on the job. I should hope they comply because they have so far spent a fair penny on training for me. We had a meeting last night, it was odd as everyone was all blured. I thought about asking everyone to focus however I felt the humour would be lost. The new CEO, I knew it was him as he was wearing a blindly orange shirt. Well he started speaking and I [View Full Entry]

Hello peeps, how is everyone? Well I am currently sitting in the Water Quality room here at Waiwera. I have hijacked the computer from Ross who is trying to work. heh heh heh Anyway might as well make the most of it. Life here is rather interesting. We seem to have settled into the Kiwi way of life. Not stressing if we can help it. Things at work are going through a bit of a change. Similar to the Gems thing, however being in my position I fall in that catagory of the positive rhelm as opposed to the not so [View Full Entry]

Well its been a while and after rumaging through the 117 emails in my inbox I finally get the chance to enter a blog. Life here is good. We have landed ourselves jobs as lifeguards working odd shifts and really not caring about it. Hey its work. We have been having training here and there as well as the odd emergency. No drownings yet though, just dislocations and the occasional scraped knee. Our trip up here was interesting to be honest with you, we slept rough for two of the three nights it took us to get here, spend one night [View Full Entry]

Ok, so as it turns out I am fully capable of drinking stupid amounts of alcohol and not being sick... with no food, other than a desperate batch of cheesy chips when we got back. Yes, Rugby was on, England vs Australia... we were planning on playing cards till the game started, in the early hours of the morning... after 10 beers we got restless and agreed amongst the 3 of us that town was a lot more appealing than sitting round a round table playing cards and drinking bottled beer. Strange how alcohole swings everyones judgement isnt it. Anyway we [View Full Entry]

Hello hello and hello everyone Well what a lovely day, still feeling a tad warm from it. Might have caught a little snow related sun on my face too. ooooh... Anyway we woke up today with skiing in mind... yes there has been snow, over 20cm on the slope we visited. It was really cool. Duh... anyway we left it a little late after hiring our gear, I opted for the snowblades... much better on the fun scale that skiing and well the season isnt open long enough for us to try out the snow boarding side of things. pity but [View Full Entry]

Yes... strange name isnt it... well Bluff was our first stop. Bluff is basically the home of well... the southern most point of New Zealands South island. Its very peaceful. However other than the boring it was this and that lets talk about the road trip down. NOW THAT WAS FUNNY Right we have the lumo-laser as Shane has dubbed it... I like that name. Anyway we always get reactions and pictures, so far 5 pictures, some from jap tourists and some from passing motorists. I dont think they have seen such a horribly bright car before in their lives. Its [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone We have a car... a real bucket and dirt cheap too... you expect that really. Anyway we have changed the paint job somewhat, nothing drastic, just a slight "splash" of colour. Ok so we have covered it in luminous paint, and I mean covered it, its the brightest thing on 4 wheels here in Queenstown and everyone seems to love it. Smiles all round... they are possibly thinking we are complete planks driving around in this thing but what the hell... do we care? ha ha ha Other than that not much is going on here, we are job [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone Right not a whole lot to report other than this... the FERGBURGER has to be the best burger any carnivore could ever ask for. its double of everything, the burger is huge and well... WELL WORTH IT. Lets just say we were content after it. mmm... We spent a good portion of the day just chilling, skipping stones again at the lake front... so peaceful. People go to the lakefront and lie down and fall asleep, its like the norm here. People leaning against trees and reading their book in peace, others strolling along the beachfront and others having [View Full Entry]
