Back 2 Skoool

Well it's been just over one week that we've been in Auckland and things are going swimmingly.

First off, we've found a city centre apartment. After everybody telling us "Don't go for the first place you see", we went for the first place we saw. But it's nice, and after seeing other places we could have got for the same money, which we're much smaller and less central, we are very happy with our decision. We move in on Friday 12th August 2005.

Secondly, we had fun on our first weekend. A school disco party on Friday night (see Danni & Mikey in the pic) was followed by Danni's birthday meal @ Estasi in Ponsonby, Auckland.

Thirdly the job search is going well, but perhaps slightly slower than expected. The agencies seem pretty clued up and there seem to be a fair few jobs out there. Knowing our apartment is only a short walk away from most of the central offices helps too - Tom is looking forward to those 8.30 am alarm calls!

There's also a possibility of us both working together with a friend to produce some artistic work for a stall at the Ellerslie Flower Festival in November, which is great. And Tom's supposed to be in training for the Auckland Marathon in October, which isn't so great (for him)!
