an update

so...on saturday night, leah and i went to trafalgar park where there was a concert of dame kiri te kanawa and friends.  dame kiri is a world famous opera singer from here in new zealand, and so it was a really huge treat to get to see her perform.  there were other singers as well who were really good too.  staying at our place is a couple from wellington, and the man is a reviewer of these sorts of things.  he seemed to enjoy it too, so it wasn't just that i am uncultured on opera, lol!  it was just a beautiful night, and the music was so enjoyable.  we had picnicker tickets, so we sat in this grassy area and had some food and champagne, and later we shared a thermos of hot chocolate.  it was so cool!  what a great thing to have been able to do!


sunday leah went skydiving, and so that was her big thing!  i went with to the place, but just sat and read while i waited for her.  i thought it would take longer for some reason, so i didn't realize she had gone when she came back.  but she had fun, so that was cool.


and yesterday i started at sealord.  once i get the hang of things, i think it'll be really easy work for the money i am making, but i have to get used to it.  and figure out a way to not have my back hurt when i am doing certain jobs.  it's so easy, really, just packaging battered and frozen fish fillets.


i just wish that i didn't have to work nights!
