Hey everyone!
We've now been here in Welly for nearly a month - arrived 25th Jan and today is the 21st February - and as usual, it feels as if we just arrived AND as if we've been here forever ... well, not really, but there is a familiarity to things we didn't have two or three weeks ago.
I'm doing this update from a marvellous place called Network Newtown, which is a free community internet access point. No fees, only a time limit of an hour. And I'm online here because we still don't have telephone or our PDQ broadband line installed at home ... which is annoying in the extreme. Seems like it's not only SA where things take forever to be achieved.
We are doing well. Livi has settled into school and is enjoying the freedom of not wearing a uniform and of starting classes at 10.20 am instead of the usual 8am back in SA. (I consciously have to think about it when I write 'back in SA' - do I mean 'back home in SA' ...??? ) Work is going well for me. I am settling in, finding my feet and the people I work with are great - warm and friendly and helpful. More on this later ...
House wise, our little flat is proving fairly small and dark, so we're going to be looking around for something lighter, brighter and airier .. possibly more central to both school and work, although I have to say the bus system here is fantastic!
Today is the Cuba Street Carnival here in Welly and we're both going off soon to meet up with new friends to enjoy the day with ... so hopefully the next update will have more pix of today and us and life here in Welly. Speaking of which, life in Welly is GOOD, on the whole!
More to follow soon!
Linda

I am following your journey from here in Canada. Your story is one of looking at the glass always half full, which is great. I am also a vegetarian by choice and someday hope to visit NZ so your posts about food/grocery items are of great interest to me. I wish you and your daughter much success and peace in NZ. Cheers.
