6 months down the line …
still here in NZ 
it has taken some getting used to all things considered – but one house move (to a non – leaky building!) and a change of job situation later its slowly but surely beginning to click (sighs of relief from My Beloved 
) just have to begin the process to renew permit to stay here 
‘Life IS a rollercoaster ‘ as Ronan Keating sang … 
but am better strapped in than I was …
Renewed my acquaintence with Rotorua at the weekend 
and slept like I haven’t in yonks plus ages … 
Have been taking Italian lessons ‘Molto bene’ 
and will continue next term along side creative writing 
Have just finished the latest Marian Keyes 
‘This Charming Man’ (had to find a copy of the song to play!!!!) 
Again another phenomenal piece of writing from Ms Keyes who gets right inside my head and emotions to such an extent I grow more and more convinced she follows me around with a note book 
Slightly darker theme than previously but she has a way with words that leaves you feeling empowered (and hugged 
)
might have to re read all her books again (again) to pass the time until the next one …
am joining a book group too – now I’m almost back to normal (whatever that may mean 
) I think its about time I started making the most of it!! 
Might even get back to blogging …. 
for now
