Up and on Skype this morning to look in on the RPG club playing at Mitch’s house. Not quite the same as being there, but all the same a great idea to be able to. Have found a dice generator that I can share with the group, so you never know, might even be able to play too! Novel or what?

Think we’ll pop out somewhere for coffee this afternoon. Not sure where yet. Must get a “”Congrats on the Grandparents bit”” card for the landlords though – they’re turning out to be a lovely couple.

We went for a drive this afternoon, and blow some of the cobwebs away. We headed over to the Hutt Valley, North of Wellington, for a looksee.

We sort of followed our noses and drove through Lower Hutt and Petone, then drove over to Seaview and Eastbourne on the other side of the bay from Wellington. Hmm, gorgeous cup of coffee at a picnic/cafe area by the ferry landing, but we’re not altogether sure we’d go visit again! 

Lower Hutt/Petone was HUGE, much bigger than we had imagined and all sorts of large shops and department stores to go back and visit sometime.

We had a chinese when we got back – LARGE portions served here – mainly because we got back too late to be thinking about cooking a large dinner that we’d planned! However, you got your 5 a day portions of veggies in the food which is fine in most dishes but not in a weak curry – I’m sorry, but curried broccoli just can’t be right or natural 

Got turned down for a job with Telecom, but received a notice about an online banking job with the Bank of New Zealand    Just finished off the cover letter for that one!!
