Back to Work

Well Guys here I am back at work after my brilliant trip to Gallipoli. It was TOTALLY AWESOME!! I will get my page all up to date and then you can see all the pictures that I have.
My absolute best news ever is that I have just found out that I can apply for a work permit for the Republic of Ireland and I can work there for a year, the bad but good news is that I have to apply for this permit from New Zealand so you will all be seeing me in December when I come back for 1-2 months!!
Thought I would just report in and will do more work tonight when I get back from work, will sign in soon.
Love and hugs back to those in Kiwi Land, I miss you all SSSSSSOOOOOOOO much!!

Oh My Gosh, two MONTHS without ME how did you survive?

Well oh my gosh I so didn't realise that I had not written for the last 2 months but then again I don't think that many people are looking at my site. Oh well shame on them and they miss out.

I thought I would give you an update on what I'm doing at the moment.

Tomorrow night Ange and I are going to London as we are flying to EGYPT yes you heard right I said EGYPT!!! How cool is that! We will be leaving on the 18th Oct and getting back 30th Oct so that is about 12 days. We will be in Cairo until the 20th and we then join a tour group that will go down the Nile river and then back up again. There will be camel rides at the pyramids, donkey rides to Abu Simbel (a temple - Google it lol), dinner at a Nubian village, and many other exciting adventures.

So brace yourselves as when I get back you will once again be bombarded with so many pictures you will hate me!!

Other then that nothing else is that exciting for me. I go to the gym at 5:30 in the morning (only 4x a week, only I say), I take the bus to work (45mins thank you very much), I work, work, work, and then I take the bus home (1hr 15mins), I have dinner (though dinner over here is lunch) and go to bed. I mean how much more exciting can you get!! :)

And speaking of dinner, and in this case I mean lunch, one thing I can never get used to is bread cakes. Come on guess what a bread cake is, go on I dare you...that's right it is a bread BUN. What the???? Well there are many other things I can tell you about this country, like the fact that all policemen/women wear bullet proof vests and I mean ALL time they are on the streets, but I don't want to bore you and anyway you will probably learn it at some point or other.

So here is where I will sign off, love to you all from the other side of the world and for those that are not on the other side of the world, who are you and how did you find me!!

Pictures of York

Well guys I haven't had a chance to put my pics of York yet, I had my first day of work today.


Well what a performance!!!



The first bus I was supposed to catch didn't even turn up and so I walked to catch another bus and that one was 10mins late!!! I soon found out why it was late, the driver must be the slowest bus driver imaginable!!!



And so I missed the first job I was supposed to go to as they couldn't wait for me which was fair enough. They didn't have any work available for me at that time so went home to pick up my wallet and passport (I didn't want to carry them on me as there was no safe place to put them). I got onto the internet and ended up talking to Dad while looking for work on a web site and low and behold I got a call from my agency wanting me to come in to work.



So I had to rush to get a bus back into town, I missed the 20 past bus and had to wait 20mins for the next one. You guessed it that bus never turned up either, by this time I was ready to rip my hair out by the roots!!! It ended up that I met up with my workmates on the way to where we were going (my agency drives us to and from our jobs, we just all meet at the office) and we got there eventually.

So today hasn't been the best day I have had while over here but that is OK I look forward to bigger and better things


As always love and hugs to you guys back in NZ and I am thinking of you and missing you.
