Afraid this is going to have to be brief as we haven't yet got our internet connection set up at home and my new job isn't exactly the kind of place where you get enough freedom to actually use the internet for blogging. In fact, so far the job isn't too exciting, but I think it would be rather indiscreet to go into further detail here. Suffice to say I'm hoping it improves significantly in the next few weeks or I might be back on the job market. If you want any more gory details you'll have to email - but don't expect a quick response 'cos there's a long weekend coming up and we're probably going to head up to the beach for a couple of days, show the dog the sea for the first time.
Ah yes, the dog. So far (and fingers crossed) she's fantastic! We haven't been able to do too much with her because she has stitches from having her ladyparts chopped, but once they take the stitches out on Saturday she'll be able to let rip. She's getting very comfortable around the house and seems to have settled quite quickly into understanding that indoors is not for looning about and that she isn't allowed on the sofa (but if you sit on the floor she does sit on your lap, literally, which could be an issue when she's fully grown). She even happily sleeps in a kennel outside the back door! Today we took her for her proper first walk and the great big outdoors kind of freaked her out when it got a bit noisy (traffic, cars starting, noisy shops etc), but she seems to get a bit more confident each time we go out. Once we are broadbanded we will publish photos so you can see what kind of trouble we've got into and quite why I am so determined she will be well behaved - cos she's going to be big. They think she is a NZ Huntaway crossbreed, a type of sheepdog, but I have taken to describing her as 'Pacific Fusion'. She is gorgeous though and doesn't even stink too badly - amazing!
Sod all else to report. I got squiffy on Saturday night and ended up having a long conversation with a bloke who plays one of the main characters in a soap opera over here about how he should give his older sister chinese burns more often. If you can think of a reason why I would think that was an interesting topic of conversation please feel free to let me know.
Adios for now!

So that's us committed for the next 12-14 years.
