I’m finally out of that toxic work environment. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted. I don’t have to dread going to work, don’t have to worry about being stretched thin through overwork and being under-appreciated. I’ve left them short-staffed again, but it’s not my problem and I don’t have to deal with it [...]

I’m down to my last week at my current work place next week. I am so very glad to be leaving that toxic atmosphere.
Just as I was leaving work yesterday, Nick says ’see you Thursday’ and I ask in disbelief if he has time off. B has already taken the week off leaving us [...]

I have some lovely music on and it’s taking me on a journey, away from whatever I was going to write about – over clouds and trees and through valleys and over streams and waterfalls….

I decided to split my blog entries into categories. Talk about time-consuming. I’ve gone backwards to September so far, but still have many entries yet to categorise. Home life? Hobbies? Interests?

A friend of mine enclosed a photo in an email recently – a picture of me standing in front of Nazi Mercedes at a car museum. The car was beautiful, but I definitely wasn’t. I thought, oh my god, is my face that round? While in Tauranga I caught a glimpse of myself in the [...]
Sundry meanderings

I just returned from four wonderful days in Tauranga. A friend of mine moved there late last year from Auckland and bought this lovely house complete with small swimming pool, spa, deck, spacious rooms and lots of sun and moved in with her new partner. I spent some time with them in January, loved the [...]
