life is good

i have been working a lot lot of hours recently but am excited to get the hours in now since in 10 days i will be taking 11 days off to hang with Pooja when she comes to visit. We will be taking trips hiking and to the vineyards and maybe even a glacier and some other great nature spots. We'll also be spending quite a bit of time just hanging out in Wellington, chilling around the city and going out to eat and the museum and spending time with each other. I'm excited to play tourist again!

moving day

Yesterday I moved flats, from the apartment building I've been living in up to a house in Mount Victoria. Its just a few minutes further from town and is a beautiful old house with lots of stained glass windows and a really pretty little backyard and 3 balconies. My room is a lot bigger too which will be really nice when Pooja comes to visit!
Lots of exciting stuff going on, our work christmas party is (finally) on Monday since its a public holiday and the restaruant will be closed.
Last week I took a day trip to the Martinborough vineyards and had a wonderful, sunny day walking around the small town. Crisis almost stuck when I lost my wallet but luckily after searching to no avail I stumbled upon some other tourists who had picked it up! It did end up showing me how wonderful and hospitable all the locals in the town are, they were so helpful in my search to find it. Love small towns!
