Update

This blog thing requires persistance, something you may guess I don't often have. Anyways, I have found myself a good job and am really enjoying it so far. On Mondays we have donut day, where we get a selection of all sorts of donuts for morning tea. I'm sure this is motivation enough for some people to get over Monday-itis.
We finally got ourselves an apartment to live in, so we can now offer friends a place to stay rather the cardboard box on the side of the road which seemed to be an option for a while.
My container from NZ has officially arrived, although I haven't seen it yet as its still at the port. Not sure I would recommend it to others though;after I pay shipping costs, Australian GST of 10% plus another 10% duty plus customs, quarantine and handling fees, it will be a very big bill. All will be ok though if the car is worth much more here than in NZ.
I'm now off to watch some cricket; we have every ball of every game here which is brilliant.
