Re:
I did know he was in the area and I expected to bump into him sooner or later, he currently works for Weta which is Peter Jackson's film company here in Wellington. Also I worked on an Oscar winners bike the other day, flight of the concords? The guy who wrote it and starred in it, I know nothing about it! I was asked by the other guys in the shop, do you know who that is? Nope, why? Apparently its a really big TV show, must have missed that show then!
Other than that its been a good few days since last being online, I worked Xmas eve till 4pm then went 60km up to a place called Paraparumu to gave Xmas with the extended family of the family I'm currently staying with, its a little strange being at another families Xmas day but they made Mr feel very welcome and the beer flowed! This morning (boxing day) I came back via a bus from Paraparumu for a 10am start at the shop for a flash 15% off sale, it was crazy busy but a good days work followed by a good ride with Bill from the shop, he's a top guy, works Sunday to Thursday same as me but he usually then plays in his band on a Friday/Saturday and Sunday night, I'll be going to see him play at some point.
Back to work tomorrow, only have the 1st and 2nd off but I should be heading 5 hours drive north to Taupo to go riding with one of the shop guys Ethan and another guy called Daniel although his nickname is "Bluebars" for obvious reasons!
Thus place is growing on me and people keep suggesting I'll stay to get residency but I'll definitely come for home.
