Well, I thought I was being really slack about updating my blog and maybe I have been a little, but my last (real) post was only just over a week ago.
Last weekend after Friday night, I played soccer, where we were thrashed 9-0. We did feel like we had one something after the 2nd half though as it was already 8-0 at halftime. After BK lunch at the Pink Palace, we had a lazy afternoon with a DVD (Bride and Prejudice) and then we went ice skating with Andrea and Dave, after going to Nando’s for tea. Somehow that sentence is really long. Twas cool to meet them and I think I’m getting better at ice skating too.
I think I’m going into too much detail… Sunday we went out for breakfast at Le Cafe which was delicious and then ended up being late to church because we somehow managed to go through 4 intersections that the Marathon runners were going past. So much for dodging it… Lunch at Rich and Lindsey’s after church, and a bit of reading and then we watched Chocolat, followed by one of Mike’s fantastic Roast Dinners, with the meat of the day being a huge shoulder of pork.
Monday we went mountain-biking which was fun, albeit freezing, but a spa at QEii sorted that out. 
Anyway, I’ve definitely missed things from the weekend, but the last week has just been so good that it’s all blending into one big glob of goodness.:)
On Tuesday I started my new job as a software engineer, and I have already learned quite a lot I think, having been thrown in the deep end with a few curly issues. Definitely interesting.
My week has included a lot more Amy, so I can’t really write that it’s been pretty standard other than the above like I usually do, because it hasn’t, but I’m not going to bore you with the details, although they are not at all boring to me…
Then on Friday night, Amy took me out to the Pier 6 restaurant in Lyttleton for an amazing dinner. I had seafood chowder and it was delicious!
Last night, for the first time, a monumental occasion, I actually won a fast food combo bet with Mess… My bet, that Ireland would be ahead at half-time, and indeed they were. So I was cheering on Ireland for the first half, which I think directly contributed to their performance. Because at half-time I switched to cheering for the All-Blacks, which saw them emerge victorious in the end.
Well, in closing, this post has ended up rather long. Once again a list of events. I think I may become even more selective. So many things make for poor descriptions. A wee hint… You may find more about what I have been up to here. Just maybe.
(Possibly without the yellow…) What’s that? You want to know who it is? But what about the suspense? Ok, I’ll tell you… But only because I can’t keep it in anyway. Her name is Amy, and if you search this page really carefully, you may just find out a way of finding out more about her… And possibly also a little of the Olds I mentioned earlier.
