Another week already...!

Hi everybody,

Time has sort of run away from me lately, especially with everyone in Hawaii. I spent last week looking for jobs, and I do have a few leads. One of the recruitment agents is trying to set me up with the Ministry for the Environment, starting in September. I hope to interview in the next couple of weeks. Otherwise, I'm considering taking some shorter term temp jobs, even though they definitely aren't what I want. I worked for Sara's boss on Friday and made some spending money, and so at least I have some newer clothes that fit me a little better. I even found a beautiful designer skirt for three dollars.

After work on Friday I met Rory and went to another one of his work functions, this time at a bar called Good Luck. It is underground and has a Japanese theme to it. It was an open bar until nine, so we were both able to drink our fill of beer and spirits before heading home. Rory also gave his presentation on Thursday, and his work mates were telling me how well he did.

Yesterday Rory and I took advantage of his paycheck and went out for a date. We went out to dinner at Los Amigos (the Chilean restaurant), and had a great meal of Nachos, Tacos, and some kind of creamy chicken concoction. I also had a mojito, which was a treat. From there, we caught a bus and headed downtown, to the Embassy Theatre. Wellington is hosting an international film festival for the next two weeks, so we went to see the UK film called "In Bruges." It was very good...although a little bloody (for me, Rory was fine of course). We hope to see another film tomorrow night.

This morning Nik and I went back to the market for another weeks' worth of fruit and veg. Then Rory and I went to explore the Art College in Island Bay, and are now back at home. Rory is preparing some coconut chicken curry for dinner. We're looking at options for Rory's birthday in two weeks, but I don't know if we'll be able to go anywhere, due to time, money, and weather restraints. This is Rory's first winter birthday.

Ok then, will catch up again soon,
love,
Amy
