Life

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here, and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.

Xmas

Booked accommodation in Queenstown for 10 days around Christmas and New Year. I plan to spend 2 and a half more weeks here and then do some traveling for 5 weeks around New Zealand to spend all the money I will have earned here! My two brothers and four other guys from home are coming out here for six weeks and I will meet up with them a week after they arrive in central North Island.
Work has gotten a little quieter here, I'm doing about 55 hours a week now.
U2 play in Auckland on Saint Patrick's Day this year, it would be great to go to, but I don't think i'll be in the country to see it.

Bonmahon by the Sea

Work has slowed down a bit and I had the weekend off. Drove the 160km south the the city of Wanganui on Sunday. Due to lack of use and a certain leak, I found a crop of small mushrooms growing on my car floor.
There wasn't much to see there but I did visit the Sargeant Museum where I viewed some the the work of New Zealand artist Edith Collier. She visited Bonmahon around 1915 and painted many pictures of the local peasants.
Also bought a radio for my car, the current one doesn't work and after 2 hours with only my own thoughts to entertain me on the way to Wanganui, I forked out $30 for a new one. I haven't gotten it working yet, something about speakers and common earth wires.
