Time for an update

Which I shall do in bullet-point form, for brevity. I'm tired.

• Christchurch has a strange mix of weather, from the really very cold to the sitting outside in t-shirt warmth. This often happens on the same day. I feel like I'm experiencing both hemispheres at the same time.
• Job-hunting during a recession is a stupid idea. Especially when on a working holiday visa and competing with laid-off Kiwis.
• Luckily R's old company needed researchers in NZ, so yay for proper work! Paid in US$ even, so we'll be rich. Comparatively.
  
• I'm not sure why they don't pay in pounds, when it's a British company. Never mind.
• With work sorted, we turned our attention to other fun things. Like snowboarding!
• Pictures are on Picasa. Look to the little link on the left for photo and video action.
• Or go here.
  
• Kea are fantastic.
• My coccyx hurts.
• I'm not in hospital! This is an improvement.

That's all for now. Consider yourselves caught up.
