Hi. Sorry haven't posted anything recently, been busy moving and starting a new job. We have now moved into the centre of Auckland to have a nicer flat and to be closer to my new job which is on the North Shore of Auckland (over the harbour bridge). The flat is very modern and very dry as opposed to our last flat which was quite damp in the winter.. We have two bedrooms / bathrooms and an upstairs now - so it s bit like a townhouse.

New job is going well - I am working for Massey University as a student liaison advisor, based in student recruitment...its interesting and its nice working in a university again. I am getting the bus at the moment so its like being back in london with a commute again but with a much nicer view and calmer journey - no fighting to get on the tube!

We haven't really been doing the tourist thing recently as have been concentrating on finding a flat and settling into work - but i have been away twice with work - up to northland to visit some schools we work with and to Palmerston North (south of the North island) which is where the university HQ is.
We did spend a night away with some of steve's work friends in Tairua (Coromandel) over easter which was really nice to get out of city:


Weather picked in March and we had a really nice easter - except for the day we ventured out to Coromandel :)

Must go now as I have a killer hangover and need nurofen!

Take care. L x
