Waiting......

I decided I had better post another bloggy thing to make sure I remember how.... Feeling a tad self-conscious about it since I am still in Aotearoa, but shall do my best to maintain the momentum...

This week... my cellphone has died, my car needs fixing and my work computer is on the blink... We all know trouble comes in threes (best proof so far: February 9th 1978), so hopefully this is it for now.

On the lovely, fluffy, happy side... Fat Freddy's Drop is playing in Civic Square at lunchtime today and I finish work on Thursday!

Thanks for the emails -I found powdered carbonara sauce. I still can't quite believe it makes the 'kiwi luxury' list. (Of course, requests for Milky Bar, V and Burger Rings I completely understand.)

Bye for now....

Counting down!

Things are getting rather hectic. Having finished making lists, filling out forms, weighing luggage and saving money, travel time is nearly upon me.

I'm milking this departing thing for all it's worth and am drowning my sorrows in rice and beers at my favourite Wellington haunts (I'm talking to you, Siam Reap!). I have been saying my goodbyes to various friends, and it's nice of them to put up with me angsting about the little things - like the right kind of socks for a trans-Pacific flight.... I shall be relying on that good humour if this all goes to pot and I'm back in Capital City by September....

Anyway, having sorted my first blogging thingamajig, I can now tick that off my 'To Do' list....

(By the way - Dear Everyone, Welcome to my blog!!)

Next task: tracking down powdered bacon carbonara sauce for Sarah, soon to be my hostess in Chicago ... where on earth am I supposed to look?
