Hey there :)

So....how's everyone? we're good. started work in Bournemouth. hm.......life as a pre-reg again! well, it isn't too bad really. We're staying at the hospital residences which is pretty convenient. Hospital pharmacy is pretty much the same here as in NZ, except that there are more staff members (there's about 15 pharmacists and a total of about 60 staff members in the pharmacy department...well, you don't see every1 working at the same time). Jase is finding it all very interesting (he's actually using his clinical skills!). Well, as for me....I have to wear a uniform! (Sue Anne, I know how you feel now cos my uniform is the same nurses tunic but in green!!) I'll place a photo on the blog later on. Guys aren't required to wear a uniform....so its just shirt and tie. I guess I won't have to worry about what to wear each day!

Anyway, before we left London we went to watch the Lion King. That was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed it. Won't mind watching it again if anyone comes for a visit (hint! hint!). Recently I attended my cousin's wedding in London. Its amazing cos I've never met my cousins (2nd cousins) until this year. They are from Burma but have been living here for a long time. Its good to have family all around the world.....good excuse to go travelling :o)

What else.....em....may be I should tell you guys a bit about Bournemouth. Well, its a town situated on the southwest coast of London. Its probably slightly bigger than Hamilton. There's quite a large percentage of elderly people here (cos they move here to retire).....well...no it isn't just for the old. The young come here to sail and enjoy the beach during the summer. We went to the town centre yesterday and had an enjoyable time walking around. We had Dim Sum at this place called Chef Hong Kong...pretty good....managed to find a couple of Asian grocery stores so we're pretty pleased with this place.

all right....think that's all for now. we're off to Sweden for Easter (yippy!) so will keep you posted when we get back. Take care.

for those of you who are dying to write to us (hm.....yeah right!) our address here is:

Room 185 Block 7
