General Update

Realised I haven't posted for awhile.  Partly because I am no longer travelling I feel like people will not be that interested but will give an update anyway.

Still living in Christchurch where I am slowly getting my feet under me.  I forgot how much effort it takes to when you move to a new place to get involved.  Luckily I have some good friends who are keen for new experiences and bring me along for the fun.  This month has been quite busy starting a pilates class, sewing class and finding out about the local Rotary Club to see if I want to be a member of that.  Work people also have organised a weekly climbing night so have something on most nights.

Also, looking at welding courses so I can start making custom bike frames.  Darryl is starting to make one soon for one of the polo guys and I know as soon as he starts I'm going to be super jealous and want to make one as well.  But the course will have to wait until I'm back from the USA as pretty busy prior to that.

I also am helping to organise a bike polo tournament.  This is quite a lot of effort along with the other items and planning my trip home in July.  Though I like being busy and it reminds me of how I used to be.

We've been really lucky and had some great people come and stay with us over the past months.  This is always nice as it's good to share our home and the guest have been a range of new to old friends.  The most recent visitors have been travelling for 6 months so they were quite happy to be able to bake and  have a kitchen which we got all the benefit from (yummy yummy food).  Excited to have 3 more coming over the weekend.

Still enjoying having a home and one place to stay.  Though I'm looking forward to to going home and getting some travelling in when I'm back.
