Now I was sitting on the bus the other day trying to stay awake on the way to work when I had a random thought about time. Well, more kinda along the lines of how specific times of the day mean different things to everyone… and it changes depending on what your job is, what day it is or what time of year it is.
See, for me at the moment I have a few times of the day that are important… but come the 16th Sept when I finish at Draeger they’ll no longer be relevant but will always stick in my mind when I hit them back home. Am I the only one who has this happen to them? Since being over here I still think if 6pm as dinner time cos Mum always had to have it on the table then for Dad haha!

6.45am during the week is when I absolutely MUST be heading out the door to get the first of two buses to work or I’ll be horrendously late…

12.30pm is my lunchtime with Apprentice Joe & the rest of the 1230 gang Andy, Brian & Scotsman Bill haha…

3.00pm is my arvo break that I normally miss cos I’m too bloody busy…

4.35pm is home time yippee! See this was a regular one in the UK for a finishing time but not so much in NZ so be interesting to see if it changes when I get home.

Hmmmm… I started writing this post thinking it would be interesting but it’s really not haha but I’ve spent half an hour typing it (interrupted by the weekly phone call from Mum haha) so I’m still gonna publish it!

Once again… here’s a couple of random pics

Well the time has come for me to leave the sunny UK (ok maybe sunny is a bit of an exaggeration haha) to head home to sunny New Zealand! (proper sun hurrah!)
So after much deliberation & tears I’ve handed in my notice at work (more tears in front of the boss eeeeek!) and my last day is 16th Sept (which will most definitely bring on more tears haha)
I love the people I work with at Draeger (well most of them… some of them drive me round the twist!) & it’s going to be so hard to say goodbye that I’m truly dreading it actually.

My mission when I ventured over this side of the universe was to travel & make new friends & I’m happy to say I’ve done that! Friendship knows no bounds despite being oceans apart & technology these days is epic!

BUT I will be back! This time next year to be exact but the Northeast Geordies won’t get me unfortunately… I’ll be settling down south! Shacking up with my bestie mate Amelia & her hubby Mike at first til I get myself a massively high paying job & a gorgeous flat haha then it’s travel, travel, travel!

Anyways… I always like to post a pic so…

Well as of the end of July the O’Brien family have a new addition!

My cousin Neil & his wife Jen welcomed to the world their 4th sprog… wee Baby Emma!

How cute is she!!
