Live from the Capital!

What a couple of weeks!

Have been in Wellington now for just under a month and am pretty much set, just need the SKY to be hooked up for tele watching and to grab my car from Auckland in a couple of weeks but otherwise, I'm here!

Works been good, am loving being back in underwriting and have a really good team that I work with. Have even been doing longer than required hours if hitting the gym and filling my days.

More importantly I have myself a 2 bedroom place in Crofton Downs which I am loving. It's just me here, a change from the last living situation but given how picky I can be, it's probably for the best. Glad I ended up in a 2 bedroom too, I own a lot more stuff than I realised! It's a 10 min walk to the train, 8 min to town and then another 10 to work, all in all about the same length as in Auckland. Feels so civilised being on the train to work in the morning, like in a real city, even if the trains on my line are nearly 60 years old!

The only downside about Wellington is that it is fucking cold, but I guess all one has to do is wrap up warm and make sure the heater is always going! It'll be great in summer when it is warm but not humid. Alas the cold has been a bit of a shock to the system and I've caught a little bit of a bug that is going around, but managing to fight it off ok..

That's it for now, will get some pix up in time...
