Hope you are well...Enjoy the cricket do this weekend and have a drink or two on us - we will be there in spirit.

Week four in new zealand and things are starting to seem more settled. I am looking for a job...but not too hard as Steve is on holiday in three weeks and we want to travel around the islands. No set plan as yet but I am in process of investigating where and when to go.

The car is still going and we are going on another drive this weekend as last weekend was too wet and windy. We will hopefully visit the dormant ( I hope) volcano that you can practically see from every angle in Auckland - Rangitoto. It looks quite beautiful from our beach so we hope to have fun exploring.

Social life - We have found a pub quiz! and its on Tuesdays..which is very strange. Not as good as the Taylors quiz though but a little easier to win - we have been twice and won twice!
The TV over here is ok - a lot of repeats of UK programmes or American stuff, I can finally watch all the ER episodes I missed. The problem is we have only been able to tune in to three out of the five terrestial channels so its pretty slim pickings.
Of course we should'nt be watching TV - we should be out and about keeping fit and healthy but it is hard work changing habits of a lifetime! Slowly slowly goes it.

Have fingers crossed this weekend for Wales...I'm sure they will beat the All Blacks..Steve is so confident Wales will lose that he has promised to support Wales in next rugby world cup if the All Blacks lose. So "Go Wales"

Anyhoo - have a good one. More photos soon...
