Hi all. Hope everyone is well.
I’m still in Auckland, at the same hostel as when I arrived, I’m starting to miss the home comforts, like having my music on whilst getting ready, actually been able to turn the light on in the morning (not to wake anyone else up), and having the correct cooking utensils and not having to fight for a stove, just to cook pasta! Ha.
Apart from hostel life, life is good. Weathers getting warmer, shorts and t-shirt weather nearly every day, unlike the snow at home, hehe! I hope you’re all not too cold! Burr! Message to the grandparents whilst it’s snowing: stay inside as much as possible, I don’t want you falling over! Thanks for your co-operation! Oh, and dad, make sure the chickens have blankets and hot water bottles and that Tommy is inside!!!
I’ve not been up to an awful lot really, just working here n’ there, went to cinema the other night, to see Due Date, if you haven’t seen it already, it’s funny, go see it!
On Friday, I ended up going to see U2 (the band) at Mt Smart arena in Auckland. It was a
bit random really, I didn’t even know they were playing here until a few days before, and a lady who was in my room had a ticket to go, but no one to go with, I’ve always wanted to see them, so I got a ticket last minute! I’m soooo glad I did, it was ace! Jay-Z was supporting, it was a lovely day and we were right near the front (see photos). Was a good laugh as well, really enjoyed it!
On Sunday, there was a big Christmas parade. I had volunteered to help raise money for leukaemia and bloo cancer, I thought I was going to be dressed as a clown, but they had to many clowns so I just wore a tabard thing instead, looked a bit daft, but it was fun and for a good cause, and I got to see all the parade! (see photos)
I haven’t been feeling too well recently, had something wrong with my sinuses i got a nasal spray thing but it’s not working so might have to go to doctors to shift it (get me an ambulance bad boy)!
Me and my mate Liz have been
hanging out a lot, she’s cool, just been sunbathing in the park and going out for tea and stuff, nice to have a little mate to hang around with! I think we are going to move hostels on Friday, try and get a cheaper one, the one were in now is alright but I don’t have a window in my room, it’s like a prison, really! I can’t wait to get more settled and decide where I want to live after my mum has been. So excited to see her! Eeeek! Not long now!
Right well im going to go, get some sleep, up for work in morning.
Ill update soonish.
Love to all. Send me messages and I’ll try reply, but the internet is expensive, and I’m running out of money, fast!!!!
miss you lots. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
