Wellington - An Update

So far, we’ve been going pretty well since we moved to Wellington two weeks ago.
We got a flat on our second day, and it was the first one we went for. I started working within a week, and Josh got a job at a coffee place (the first interview he went for!).

After staying in a backpackers for the week (as it was pre-paid), we moved to Northland. Thank god we’d found a sofa bed for cheap at the Salvo’s because we were bed-less for a few days!

The last week has been good – sourcing the essentials we need and getting settled into our first place all alone(!). I had a great time shopping at The Warehouse for cheap toaster/ bedding/ pots etc. And otherwise, TradeMe (the eBay equivalent over here) has been a great source of anything else we’ve needed.

Otherwise, I’ve been kicking it with the Wellington Impro Troupe (WIT), where I got to do a weekend of training with the amazing Patti Stiles from Canada (and, more recently Impro Melbourne). Josh and I both went to our first group training last night, which was also fun. I got to perform in my first Micetro show last week, and I’ve also been cast in an upcoming all-girl show Improv Angels.

We’re also in planning for some other ‘major’ things like:
* Next steps for our sketch material and also another comedy series about a small-time production house.
* The next move post-NZ which will hopefully be back to Aus to settle next year
* Applying for our visa which will allow said move to be possible.
* Saving money to cover all of the above, and more.

I’ve been missing people too – and would love to hear from you either via email, or just commenting!

Will post photos and write more once we’ve gotten our mobile broadband at home.

Josh accepts the invitation

Well after all my hemming and hawing i am finally contributing to the blog.  i know i have come into this kicking and screaming but now i have finally seen the light.  we live in a digital age and it is high time i learned the fine art of blogging.  so now i guess i just talk about myself here for a while (one of my favourite things to do in person...so it is strange that i have taken so long to take this into the digital realm).

i went to a wellington firebirds match yesterday.  saw stephen flemming play in maybe his last game.  he retired from international cricket today, but he may continue playing at provincial level.

now we have a place in Northland Wellington.  pictures to come.  we are going around doing all the domestic stuff like buying furniture and getting the electricity signed up.
