Merry Xmas From Napier
Taken on Ocean BEach on Christmas Day 2006.
Emma put the effort in, and drew this message. Spending Xmas day on a beach was kind of weird!

Merry Late Christmas
Happy Christmas to everyone!
Been back inthe hostel for a while now - I quit my job at the last farm after a really shady week of pay where I made less than minimum wage, then found another job at a better farm which I did for 3 days. After that the hostel was fully booked so I ended up back in Rotorua for 5 days.
Christmas was spent at Archies Bunker in Napier, where we had a Christmas dinner with 30 or so of the guests, and I got chance to spend part of Christmas day ont beach in the sun ;-).
I am heading up to Whitiangia on Friday to spend New Year with Matt and then I’m all out of plans again. I need to work again soon so that will probably decide my next destination, and I am going to the Big Day Out in Auckland on Jan 19th, so I do not want to get too far away from Auckland in the meantime.
Will sort out some pictures and stuff tomorrow.

Caravan Life
Now living in a caravan on the orchard, with 2 more weeks of fruit thinning to go. Its much cheaper to live here than the hostel, plus no 30 min drive every morning… Though now I only have a bike to ride into town on, which is bad when it rains!
Anyway, living on a farm means internet isnt that plentiful (loads of apples tho) so i may not be around online much. Anyone who wants me should text me.

Gainfully Employed
Currently near the end of my first 6 day week as a apple thinning monkey - its proving to be a good laugh and bringing the money in. The only problem is I seem to see apples everytime I close my eyes, but I am assured this will pass :-).
Should be working for 3 or so weeks and then finding a beach to spend Xmas at…..
