I will continue this blog in english now, due to the fact, that english is my daily language now and of course by now I do have a few people reading my blog, who don`t speak german :)
So, a little while has passed again, and I been going by my day. Getting up in the morning, going to work and doing my usual things. Running errands on my days off, doing laundry, shopping etc. Nothing special.
Although, I did get myself a new laptop after the power cord for my laptop fried. So this great deal at warehouse stationary (a local shop for office supplies) for an HP Laptop just came to me, and I couldn`t resist. Now I am proud and very happy owner of a new Laptop. Sweet! Thank god I could borrow one from a laptop from work so I could transfer all my files, music etc. and flaten my old one. It is still working fine, but you know. It`s old. Maybe I can sell it for a few dollars on trade me (a NZ and Aussie website - like ebay in germany).
Past week monday was a public holiday here, the queens birthday. The best part about this is, that I had the day off and got paid. Woot! Anyway. I also had the weekend off and the tuesday so I went out and about with a few housemates camping up north in Whangarei (Fangarei). A beautiful little city, where we went hiking around Whangarei Falls, through a beautiful Kauri forest. It was raining now and then but it was fine. Also it was cold during the night. We did have a tent, but ended up sleeping in the car. It was fine, better that sleeping in a cold tent. For two nights we had a blast. We also went to Monagnoi, a little fisher town more north, where the best fish and chips restaurant is located. I have been eating alot of fish and chips in my life, especially during my time here in NZ, and it is the best!!!
Here are a few pics from that trip.

Coopers Beach - Haven`t been here since Nov 2011
I really like my staff, they support me in many ways and I am very glad to have them. I am pretty much all set up to do my job. I did my first roster (dienstplan) for the next three weeks. Pretty difficult to make everyone happy, but on the other hand, you need to be a cunt here and there and think about the business and make sure the job gets done. Okay, I can do that. But everyone is happy, so I did a good job.
My evenings I am spending with my housemates playing card games, hanging out and having fun activities. I am enjoying my time here. It is feeling more and more like a home now.
I still can`t believe I left germany 5 months ago. It feels much longer. Just that makes me realize more and more every day, that I made the right decision to leave it all behind. Of course there are days, when I do feel wary and miss my family, my friends, my cats and cologne. But my cats will be here soon and that will give me more comfort to have them with me. I hope they will love it just as much as I do.
I will be off work for the next two days and my highlight will be getting spoilers and a light for my bike. And let`s see what else the days will bring. The weather is pretty nice still for winter. My friends in Christchurch and Lake Tekapo on the south island are sending me pictures of snow and fog. So I am pretty happy with 15 degrees and rain here and there.
That`s it from me for now. I hope you all can read this.
I am looking forward to hearing from some of you soon.
Love, Caty
