I tried to update this the other day but my time ran out on the computer when I was halfway through! Grr..

Have finished all my training at The Edge now so am actually starting work there properly on Wednesday! (Well I've got 'buddy' shifts to do in each venue but I'm getting there!) Pretty excited about it but a wee bitty nervous too - I don't like starting new jobs!

Apart from that, there's not a huge amount going on - got a couple of travel plans sorted out, plus I got an Australian visitors visa the other day so just need the money then we're all go for some exploring! Until then however, it's exploring time around Auckland! I've started highlighting places on a city map where I've been so hopefully over the next few weeks it'll get more and more colourful as I make my way round the city (Although this city is massive!!!). Went to Ponsonby today which is kind of a suburb but is still very central - only 20 mins walk from the apartment. It's a busy place on a Sunday - all the cafes I walked past were full!

Have also spent a lot of time this week in the city library rediscovering books! I've read about so many things over the past few days but nothing too exciting to tell you about!!

I'm ridiculously tired today though as the fire alarm went off in our building at about 4.30 this morning! It's not every morning you get woken up by a siren then a man's voice saying "the fire alarm has been activated in another part of the building - please await further instruction. You are free to leave if you wish". It went on for a wee while so I decided I would get dressed so that if we were evacuated I wouldn't be rushing out in my PJs, but as soon as I was dressed and ready it stopped!!! Annoying...

Anyway, take care folks! xx
