The fire is making it hard to write this, it’s crackling softly and lulling me into complete relaxation. Through half closed eyes I want to record this though, the next bit, the part that comes after the awful worry and the stress. This feeling.

44) Trial periods and Toilet seats
Weeks 2 and 3 on the building site: All farting, burping and swearing has resumed as normal on site, I’m taking this to mean that I have been accepted as one of them.

37) “I’ll just grab the razor to finish it”
So yesterday I was feeling a bit stressed so I thought I would pamper myself a bit. First I’d go for a long relaxing massage then I would go and get a hair cut. However I was so relaxed and sleepy after my massage that I failed to react when the hairdresser uttered the words…
36) Winter (not so) Wonderland
Yesterday morning the residents of Queenstown opened the curtains to discover the town covered in a blanket of snow, snowboarders and skiers delighted, tourists made snowmen and kids threw snowballs. However for those of us who live in an apartment built for summer with no double glazing on the windows or insulation in the…
