I've found some new friends...
So yesterday we decamped to Sarah's house in Birkenhead near Takapuna, and it's AMAZING. It's so nice. It's mahoosive! And has a lovely garden. It's ace. Sarah's flatmate has a kitten/cat called Marley and he is THE CUTEST. He's a black cat with a bit of white and I think I might steal him and bring him home with me. I spent ages playing with him today and yesterday, and he fell asleep on my lap. He also appears to have fallen in love with my coat, but he's not having that!
These last couple of days, I've become an honorary brass band member. (I even pretended to be one to get in to the competition) It's been the NZ Brass Band championships in Takapuna, and Sarah's band, Dalewool Auckland Brass, have been competing and they came Second! Huzzah! Which means they're the best band from North Island, which is pretty awesome! There are some really lovely people in the band, and quite a lot of them are British which is fairly amusing! :)
I feel like I've been here a while not just 4 days!! I've got some plans for the next few days. It's going to be Nationals again tomorrow for Band of the Year, and then Monday it's probably Auckland and the Sky Tower if it's a nice day. It was the Sky Tower's birthday this week and they were giving free sky jumps! And then later on in the week I might go to Hamilton which is about 2 hours south of Auckland. I might also do some research now that I know where everything is!
The weather's been really wet so far, but this morning was really nice as the sun was out! But then it turned into rain this afternoon and evening.
I'm still getting used to saying dollars, as I got a funny look from all the people at the table today (All ex-pats I have to add!) when I said seven pounds fifty!
And still no sign of the jet lag! It's quite late at night here cus we went to a bar after the results, and I'm a bit tired, and should probably go to sleep. Sarah's a bit putout that she is more tired than me, and I'm the one that's supposed to have jet lag! So I suppose it's probably time to go to bed. Quite a lot of funny things have happened, but you can't really describe them in words! Nightnight xxx
