Weekend in Welly

Hi All,

Just a really quick post to keep you all updated with what I've been up to. Went up to Wellington for the weekend which was lovely (lovely in a cold and wet way!). Darren an I had booked our tickets AGES ago (so everyone had tons of notice we were coming hehe) and then almost forgot we were going! But didn't. Poor Darren is pretty sick at the moment though, I think it's because he worked some very long days doing Auntie Anne's wall after doing his normal full days at his normal job. Anyway so at the last minute we decided he was probably too sick to come and he stayed home and babysat the fish. So that was a shame but I got to stay with Amy and spend tons of time with her which was absolutely fantastic. Also got to see Earl, Erin, Bridget and Uma which was great too!

Hope you all had nice weekends!

Visas

Yay! Darren got his visa this morning for the UK... now just have to wait to see if I get mine! Given I posted mine a day after his it may imply that mine might be coming sometime this week, but maybe that's jumping to too big a conclusion.

I would post a photo of it, but well, I might have been going over the top with photos lately ;)

This visa getting experience has lead me to an interesting chain of thought. Is it reasonable that couriers deliver parcels before 7am in the morning? I guess there is a argument that it's more likely people are guaranteed to be home at that time. But one would have thought it was not a respectable hour to be calling on people. The courier came at 6.50am this morning.

I decided to make this an informed blog post and so I rang the NZ post courier service and they informed me 7am should be the starting time so this courier was obviously just getting a head start on the days work.

Ok so that discussion lead no where. Except I'm a wee bit more sleepy than usual because once the courier came I was excited Darren got his visa and I didn't get back to sleep. Hehe.

Have a nice day all!

Upgrade

My licence now upgraded! Woo!

New Licence Photo

My new driver's licence photo is actually good!

This is my new restricted licence (I needed a new restricted to sit my full as the one I had was the wrong version). And so my full will have the same photo and should come in a couple of days! Yay!



Also I finished my butterfly hat! This is it flat:



And this is it on me:



That's all for today!

Jewellry Course

Hi!

Kirsty and I have just completed a three evening jewellry course learning how to make things with PMC, or precious metal clay. It's this cool clay with silver in it, that just looks like normal clay and works the same but when you fire it the clay burns away and you're left with just silver!

Here's some pics of a couple of things I made:





And if you want to do the same course and live in Chch here's the link:
