Back in New Zealand

It’s been nice to get back to New Zealand, although it’s been freaking cold the last couple of days. It could have frozen the balls off a brass monkey. The southern alps are looking good, although still probably too early in the season for the snow lovers. Managed to pick up a crappy cold on the way back, which really killed my sleep cycle and getting over jet lag. Have been wide awake at 5am for the past 4 nights – fun!

Met up with Emma and her travelling mates on Wednesday night for a curry and a pint, only 5 hours after stepping off a plane. And 5 hours after knocking back 2 Bloody Marys on our approach into Christchurch airport – I blame the English man and Welsh man over for the Lions tour in the seats beside me. Emma was in good form, seemed to enjoy trip around NZ and we had some good catchups. Not too long before Domhnall and Linda are over here.

Bought a dehumidifier for the flat – there’s quite a lot of condensation on the windows in the morning, and there’s a bit of a musty smell. Hopefully this will do the trick, without sucking my body too much of water as a side effect. Tried again and again to tune in the N64 that I brought over from Ireland – can get pictures working fine, but no sound. Very frustrating. Wonder if there’s a difference between NZ and UK tvs, or is it just a broken part somewhere along the line.
