Two pieces of big news today: firstly, Emily is now an employed Wellington resident! After a successful interview this morning, she attained a position behind the bar of the Hotel Bristol, a neat bar and restaurant on the central Cuba St. The first shift is Saturday evening, so I'm sure Emily will update afterwards. In the meantime, it seems to be a nice spot; we stopped in on the bar by accident last Thursday when we overheard some music spilling out onto Cuba St., a fantastic big swing band. They have performances like that every Thursday, while the rest of the week is spent showing rugby on TV - something Emily will have to get used to (and learn the rules of).
Secondly, we've filmed and uploaded the first nugget of insight into our kiwi lives, the inside of 163 The Terrace. We've waited until the apartment is of a decent level of presentability before documenting it, and this has only been achieved after we acquired a new coffee table today. (Much of the rest of the day was spent hauling the heavy, heavy table from Ghuznee St. up the hill to our place...) But as a result, we feel truly settled in.
Hi James & Emily,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you Emily on your job. We hope it goes well. It's your turn next James to be able to start bringing home the bacon.
The flat looks very nice. It looks quite new - is that the case? You have a very good view of life in Wellington. Wherabouts are you positioned compared with the centre of the city?
How's the weather? We keep an eye on the forecasts for NZ and notice that it has been a bit wet and not too warm (9 degrees the other day). We're suffering here at the moment with an expected high of 30 today but we've had such a poor summer so we probably deserve a couple of days of good weather.
Any interviews for you James?
Best wishes
Love Dad and Caroline
Wow! Congratulations on your new place and your job (Em). Everything looks amazing. Miss you.
