Only 5 more days of work then 9 days of holiday!!!!
Went downtown yesterday with Vanessa and Kaz to do shopping for the gift swap on Wednesday. It was crappy, snowy weather like it has been for the last 2 weeks so instead of taking 20 minutes to get back by taxi it took 1hr and 20 minutes. Great fun. Especially when the hill came and the driver nearly didn't make it to the top. What his theory was on going slowly at the bottom instead of trying to get up speed to get to the top I'm not sure but he was probably worried about the ice on the road. We made it to the top and then had the great fun (not) of going down the other, steep, very icy side. Eventually made it home though. We felt sorry for the dtiver because he had to go all the way back as well so gave him extra money.
Was meant to go see Kaz again today but started snowing on the way back from Big Mart with Vanessa so decided not to go, mainly because didn't want to speand another hr or more in a taxi on icy roads getting back. Instead of seeing Kaz I've spent the last hr or so making a model of a Korean Armoured Turtle Ship. No idea where I'm going to put it or how I'll get it back to N.Z but it looks cool and was a great way of procrastinating about packing and cleaning the flat.
