Well it has been a long time since I last posted. We have had a wonderful holiday in the beautiful South Island. 1 week of non stop rowing at Twizel - gorgeous weather, stunning sceanery but no medals (2 out of 3 aint bad) and then 3500 kms of road trip around the bottom and west coast of NZ. Great time of year to go
too, the Autumn sceanery (sp??) was spectacular. Highlights would have to be Speights and Cadbury factory in Dunedin, revisiting my old uni haunts in Dunedin (I can't believe Potpouri and the Govenors still exist), the Ice bar in Queenstown, Kingston (I want to live there...I just fell in love with the place), bluff oysters and chips in Bluff and revisiting the Antartic centre in Chch again. Teenage boys got a bit sick of lakes, trees and mountains but hey...they'll appreciate it when they really realise they have now seen ALL of NZ!!!! It was great just hanging out together, even if it was only 2 of our boys not all 4 that got to be with us. I took a little Mickey Mouse with us in honour of Olly. 
Got back to more difficulties at work and have made a big decision to resign. Have decided my job needs a set of skills and knowledge that I don't currently possess. Haven't got another job to go to yet but have resigned anyway. Not an easy time. Looks like scrapping on a budget again!!!
Today I am attending a funeral of a dear past work colleague. I will need to do some serious 'self care' tomorrow.
Will try and update more often now. Feel like I have been in a bog with all the job stuff and there have been some health issues in there too. Now to find a way out of it all!!
