Yay :) more work (hopefullly)
Well this is the post everyone has been waiting for..... It seems that I have decided to return to New Zealand in about a month definitely. I'm not sure exactly why i've decided this, i think its mainly because i've fulfilled all that I want to do here (apart from saving money) and I'm missing certain persons and yeah it just feels right in my heart go come home.
But on the up side, I just received a phone call from a guy called Shane and he seems pretty keen to get me around to help him do up one if his houses for selling --> this is good because It will most probably fill in all the rest of the days in the week thus allowing me to earn more money and perhaps even save some.
I still owe Andy about 100$ on the car, but i should be able to pay that off in the next little while if all the jobs go ahead. Andy had is first day today as a surveyors assistant and ended up working about 11hours, so he'll be making a bit of money too which is good. Had a really fun Sunday, church in the morning and then we went down to a local swimming hole and it was lovely --> there was rope swings and trees to jump out of and rocks under the water to stand on... it was really great, i felt for the first time that I had friends --> cause we went with some of the people from church.
I've organised to go and see great uncle Trevor tomorrow for a few hours.. for lunch, im looking forward to it as i've heard lots of stories about him from some of the people at church and he sounds like a real character :), hopefully ill be able to glean some good stories from him to tell everyone else.
I've been stressing lots this week trying to work out how to budget what money im earning with petrol and paying andy back.. and everything but I really believe that God is on my side financially now seeing as with this other job ill actually be able to have some to spare.
I actually really like it here, maybe its a genetic thing but i really enjoy the bush around the area, I still havent seen any decent sized snakes, but theres lots of cool looking spiders and other bugs including the shiny/shimmery rainbow worm which is like a holograph sticker in different lights. Im missing the freezing cold though, its weird just getting up and not even thinking because its going to be a warm day fullstop, so shorts and t-shirts are always the go.
Our car is running pretty well so far... no great issues apart from the wiring of the CD player and Air conditioning... which i think we fried when we were attaching and removing the alternator... but hopefully Andy can fix it. Im feeling good about things at the moment because i think everything is finally falling into place.
Im trying to think if theres any other pressing information that I need to update everyone with but I guess im not really sure what everyone doesnt know already. The nursery people have been really good to me, i mentioned today that I was only going to be here another month and they said along the lines of "we'll have to give you more work then" which was surprising because i thought they'd want to phase me out and get someone else in, ironically enough they are coming over to Christchurch in July i think so im going to give them my details and NZ address so they can see where im from and meet family etc. if the opportunity arises.
I did my first day on the organic vegetable farm on Friday, they were really nice to me as well seeing as I told them i wasnt going to be around for long, they said "well thanks for your honesty, we'll still keep you one day a week on fridays" so that was good too. It a totally different crowd of people there though, more of the hippy types, which is interesting but they are really nice.
Anyways I think thats all, goodbye once again and keep posting comments if you can i like to see what people have to say :)
