Right so there’s 91 days left for me in NZ and to be honest it can’t come quick enough for me at this stage!!
Work is crazy and I’m doing things that I don’t usually do which makes it even more confusing haha. I’m seriously gonna miss the people at work (well some more than others of course!) but I find myself becoming quite impatient and wanting the time to fly… in saying that I know it will come around soon enough and I’ll look back and wish I’d made the most of my last few months here! Hindsight is a brilliantly flawed thing that way…
Had a weeee bit of a hiccup in that I was meant to go to STA travel in town last Sat morning to organise getting a YHA membership… alas my brain was having an old lady moment (they are getting more frequent I must say!) and I totally forgot until like 4pm Sat arvo! I had loosely arranged with Natalie @ STA that I would come in so I immediately emailed her to apologise and used my nana moment as an excuse – to which she said was quite normal when planning a trip such as this…. now I won’t say I am normal cos everyone who know’s me know’s that’s just absurd!!
So yeah I’ll be attempting a second time this Sat – they are open til 5.30pm weekdays but as it’s a bit tricky to get into town at that time I’m gonna endeavour to remember to go Sat morning again…. then I must get my A into G (an old persons term I’m told but WOT-EVA!) and book accomodation as I have this funny feeling in the back of my old brain that the single room at the Oxford YHA is booked up now… but I will double check that and hopefully NOT confirm my worst fears!
Hmmmm what else is happening… oh George and Mildred are now making constant appearances under my temporary-offices’ window quacking for some bread- of which I dont’ have cos I’m on a bread-free diet at the moment! May have to bring some in espeically or something cos the look of disappointment in their cute wee eyes is just too much!
Just heard today that our wee GG has landed herself a wee job! ohhhhh how the youngun’s grow up so fast these days…. it seemed like only yesterday I was saying goodbye to her with a minimum of fuss (if I remember rightly I walked out the door and said “Seeya in 5months or so dork” haha) Here’s hoping it is a brilliant job that will enable her to secure us the mintest bachelorette pad in the universe!!!! Possibly named “Che Dork?” or “The Lair of GG & Rossco?” hmmm needs some work methinks but we will prevail!
On a shittier note my dad’s recovering from his fall at home – his crushed vertabrae are now no longer his only problem it seems as his vision has also been affected by the fall and he’s going to an eye specialist tomorrow to see what’s what. Basically he’s seeing spots in front of his eyes which is not good at all… will keep any keen Rossco Readers posted.
Must dash… I have an chicken in the oven that is in need of some basting…. ok so maybe not but it was the randomest thing I could come up with at 4.44pm on a Tuesday… yes the dreaded 4pm hour strikes again!!!!
Later losers,
The Lyttelton Loser xxx
