Hey, I've decided to try and write a book. Just had an idea today, and I'm gonna call it' Fault Line'. That's because I though I would write something about Earthquakes in New Zealand. They keep saying at schools, in the hospital, on the radio, in the newspapers and on the telly that the likelihood is very high that Wellington will have a major Earthquake in the next 50 years! Well I thought I would write something which may make people think about that.
Anyway, more about me and the family. Alistair played Rugby on Saturday at Johnsonville, and they lost 40 or 50 something to 5! We went to the Rugby in the evening at the Westpac to see the AB's vs France. Luckily we had our wet weather gear on, and our thermals because it tipped down with rain and was pretty cold. Still, we both enjoyed the game which the AB's won 14-10 (they needed to win by 5 points if they were to win the Gallagher Cup, and Piri Weepo obviously couldn't work this out as he kicked the ball into touch when he could have launched the final attack!).
Lucy and Rowena went to hockey, where the score was an unusual 1 all! It's normally 6 or 7 to 1, and one side is generally a lot better than the other, but not on Saturday! Rowena didn't play netball this week, and her team won 21-6, so they now think that they don;t need Row to play as Goal Attack anymore! What a difference a week makes!
Sunday we went up to the wind farm for a quick walk. It had to be quick cos again it was cold!
Monday I went to Go Wellington to be assessed for a Bus Driving Job. I had to do a literacy and numeracy test (I got 100% correct!), then a driving test! The instructor said that I was a good driver, but should stop at stop signs, and also check my blind spots more often! After waiting for what seemed like ages I had two more interviews with the HR lady, and the recruitment chappie from Auckland. I am still waiting for the outcome, but I guess whatever it is I can say that I enjoyed the experience.
Today was a visit into town, where I went to INZ Wellington to get our 3 month visa changed. However I need to provide more information, which is not what the solicitor advised.....what do you expect after paying extortionate fees for their service! I, also, checked on the Roof Bars fro the Ford Territory, and with Ski and Canoe attachments the bill would be $1,800! I can buy another car for that! I'm going to try Repco tomorrow to see if I can get them cheaper. Then I went to the Ski shop, where it will cost $46 for ski boot hire for the week, $39 to have skis waxed and edged, so all in all it's becoming very expensive!
Lucy and Alistair have now gone to Rongatai College for the open evening, and then onto the Tararua tramping club. Rowena has sneaked downstairs to watch the television!
Well that's do for now.....Toodlepip!
