Chinese food
Hi Kim Hope the travel is taking you to amazing places. I went to Island Bay yesterday! And had Chinese for dinner last night! wow. Will be in touch in more detail soon - very busy at the moment. Just moved into a new flat. Not a new one, but new for me. Had lots of job interviews and testing lately, and has been going really well. Just started Rugby on saturday. The clubrooms are still serving at genuine 1980's prices which is fantastic on a saturday night, and regretful on a sunday morning. Take care, Love Matty - Matt
