Hi folks,April is here and Summer is over, down here anyway. The change of seasons has brought me some very good fortune. After complaining about my job I decided to do something about it. I am always one that hates when people complain about something and do nothing to resolve their situation. So after a particular annoying day I got online and looked for a new job.

Upon reflection I realise that I am having a great time in New Zealand and have made some really great friends over here.
