As it turns out the Earthquakes did not stop Sunday morning…oh no they continued to rock New Zealand for a good long while. We have been having short rumbles since Friday morning and they don’t seem to be easing off at all! In the last week Wellington has had 55 Earthquakes that have rated higherContinueContinue reading “…earth moving news…”

I felt the earth move under my feet…
There is some crazy Seismic Activity going down on the Cook Strait this morning. Wellington has had more Earthquakes… I was woken this morning to my little room rocking around me and was quick to get under the table. I must have looked hilarious…the table is tiny so it’s not really going to do much. TheContinueContinue reading “I felt the earth move under my feet…”
Weta Workshop
Today I went to the WETA Cave in Miramar, Wellington and it was fabulous. It was great fun to step inside the walls of an actual movie workshop, even more exiting to note that this is the Multi Academy Award winning company that created The ‘Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy and ‘District 9’…and yes I did see actual,ContinueContinue reading “Weta Workshop”
I think I feel an earthquake up in here…
At 9.06 am this morning, whilst sat at my desk listening to my iPod and getting on with work, my office shook for a good 30 seconds! Everyone in the office looked as shocked as I felt and we all agreed that it was in fact rather scary. We were at the point where weContinueContinue reading “I think I feel an earthquake up in here…”
Roller Derby
A big game for everyone, Richter City All Stars vs Victorian Roller Derby Queen Bees did not disappoint. Most people that I spoke to were of the opinion that we would probably lose…and we did…but that doesn’t matter. Most of the bout was fairly even in the sense that we were giving our all, but itContinueContinue reading “Roller Derby”
Down and Derby
Tonight was the second Richter City league match of the Derby season: Brutal Pageant vs Smash Malice. One of the things that I really like about Roller Derby is the names that each skater has…some of my favourite from the game tonight: Bethwish, Danger Spouse, Professor McGonnaKill, Blocktimus Prime, Scary Maclary, Geal Force, Storm in a BContinueContinue reading “Down and Derby”
Talk Derby to Me!
Moving to Wellington has been exciting and different to say the least, so when I discovered that there was a Roller Derby League within the city, I was amazingly eager to join in on the fun. I went along to the ‘Freshmeat and Greet’ and had a bit of a skate around and a chatContinueContinue reading “Talk Derby to Me!”
I got a job :)
Being phoned up at 10am on Thursday and organizing a meeting and then interview for Friday at 9am and then 10am was slightly daunting considering I have only been in the country for one full week! Not that i’m complaining. It was actually really nice to have sent my CV into a company and actually hear somethingContinueContinue reading “I got a job :)”
My first week in Wellington
My room on Willis Street is lovely! I’m right in the center of the city, within easy walking distance from…well, everything…most of all the shops 🙂 For the first few days I have been getting to know the city. I’ve been walking lots and have been to cafes and craft markets, dropped of CV’s andContinueContinue reading “My first week in Wellington”
I arrived!
I have arrived in Wellington! Woohoo. I had to take one flight from Bangkok to Sydney and then another to get me from Sydney to Wellington, but I arrived! The flights themselves were fab; lots of interesting things to watch on the personal television screens and lovely food and drink, and to make it evenContinueContinue reading “I arrived!”
