Which is good news!!  It is working for a clinic in the city centre that do laser hair treatments for bald men! A bit strange I know, but it seems like a really good company.

I work Monday to Thursday ( quite long hours tho) and will be doing some admin work and some treatments! They are sending me to Sydney of all places to do a week’s training using the laser machines and the steam treatments and other things. There are loads of other clinics in Australia where I can do a job swap for 6 months, which could be something interesting for the futute. I managed to negotiate a really good wage with them as well, which is more than I was earning at home, so I’m happy! I start work on Monday, just learning the admin side, and then hopefully off to Sydney in a couple of weeks time. Just thought I would let you all know! Mark is still doing well at his job, but I think he works hard! He’s fast asleep by 9 oclock!

We haven’t really done much this week, I have been hoping to hear from this company, and went in to do 4 hours with them on Thursday, which was a bit difficult as there was so much to learn, and I think she thought I could learn it all then! I am hoping to go out tonight for a drink, and just have a nice easy day tomorrow. Thanks for all the birthday cards and presents, which I am looking forward to opening tomorrow! I feel very old now, but not as old as Mark hehe. It is not long til his fortieth bday, which I keep reminding him of, and hes is looking a bit greyer these days, might have to get the hairdye on him!

I have been taking some pictures lately, of where we live, and I will try to get some b’day snaps tomorrow, and get them on a disk to put on here so you can see we are still alive! I am hoping for a birthday cake and candles but I might have to get it myself, as you know what Mark is like!

Anyway I hope you all have a good weekend,

Lots of love from us

Hello, hope you are all well. We have just had another burst of lovely weather, which for once fell on the Bank Holidays! We are both now a little bit sunburnt ( Surprise) but enjoyed swimming and cycling around Takapuna beach http://www.tourismnorthshore.org.nz/id/9/top10/and the north shore where we are now living.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me a card, I promise I haven’t opened any of them yet, but Laura, that parcel gets a sqeeze everyday!! Mark has taken off the label so I cant see what it is!

Mark is taking me out for Dinner on Saturday, and I get to choose, which means we are having Thai ( which he doesn’t like haha)  I bet we will be off for drinks after too!

In other news I have left my job at the shop. It wasn’t really what I wanted to do, and the pay wasnt so good, so it was time for a change. I have had an interview today so fingers crossed I will have some more news for you later this week. Mark is still slogging away on his boats, now working for a good company in a town called Henderson, about half an hour away.

We are still enjoying our little flat in Northcote. It is so lovely to stroll over to the beach and have coffe by the sea. We need some visitors now so get saving !!

Sorry its only a quick one today but I am getting a lift home in 5 mins so I hope to update soon, lots of love from me xoxo
