So friday was James last day at work so there was a cake and after work we had a few beers for him. It was really nice. Then I decided to work the weekend or the guys would of had a load to do. So that was good getting in the back of the trailer and feeding to the paddocks and mucking out the stallion boxes. On Sunday my house mates took me out for a meal at a pub in the next village called moonan. The meals were really big and it was a nice cosy place. I really enjoyed it. Thank you guys for that.
Then on Monday we started weaning a new group of foals from there mum. It was a good funny day joking around with stine humming different theme tunes and Christmas songs.
Tuesday came around quicker than expected. I had two different cakes they were both amazing and I got a kitchwin hills body warmer and hat which I really wanted. And then Matt said a speech I went my usual pink self, when people all look at me and then we had a group photo in the office. Later on in the evening after a good day at work taking pictures and every thing we all headed to the pub for a BBQ and drinks and I even did a little bit of betting which was quite good fun. Me and stine won the pool game against dan. Then i headed home.
Wednesday I spent the morning packing, cleaning and washing ready to go and get the train at lunch and shane made Rosie and I a nice breakfast. Marina came home at 12 and then took me to the station. I waited for 20 minutes and then the train arrived I was given my own seat and it was very posh a guy collect rubbish and checking everyone was there in the correct seats.
I finally got to Sydney 4 hours later and walked to the wrong yha so I turned back around luckily it was just the one next door to the wake up which is where my friend Alex is staying. Later on I met up with Alex and we went to hungry jacks for dinner and headed to the side bar which was really good there was a live band and because it was Anzac day there were sailors and army people. About 11 I headed back to the yha.
So it's Thursday and this is the day I fly out to new Zealand. I caught the shuttle bus from wake up and we arrived at the station at about 10 then checked in our luggage mine was slow going through because of my visa here and going over there. Then I had a subway (nat introduced me to them when we were at Brisbane airport.Then we (alex and i) headed through customs and everything then it was time to go to the gate. I walked to my gate and a woman came up and I did a questionnaire, I don't know why they always come up to me. Then I boarded the plane had an awesome dinner. Chicken pasta, salad with dressing, chocolate, cheese crackers and then of course I got an ice cream :). I watched a few programs then it was time to collect my luggage and head to the check in again. Then thinking I was late I arrived at my gate an hour early. It was then time to board the plane. I was sat next to a very chatty guy called Tom. I had hummus and bagel and cheese and crackers. I eventually landed and we were 20 minutes earlier than expected. I stepped off the plane said goodbye to a few people I was chatting to and said hello to chris who was looking very smart with some nice flowers. Then I grabbed my bag and we then had an hour and a half drive in the dark to oamaru. I had a tour round the house and watched some bad kiwi tv ha.
