Rugby 7s, New flat and Job Update
England By: Carmen on Jun 10, 2004

Just a quick note to keep you all updated... By the way - I hear it's getting cold in NZ? We had a sweltering 32 degC yesterday, but have been warned that the brief spell might be the only summer we get.

Went to the Rugby 7's at Twickenham on Sunday, and managed to drag Gary along, even though he wasn't that keen on rugby. Unfortunately he came out a whole lot keener about rugby after England beat us in the final, and took the 7's World Cup. The day was overcast but warm, and there were a few people dressed up, but not as many as I would've thought. It was definitely good to see lots of NZ flags waving in the crowd.

We moved into our new flat in London on Monday night. It's really nice, as are the flatties (Kate and Richard). We even have a backyard complete with our own wildlife (see pic). Still getting used to figuring out where everything goes in the kitchen, but it is definitely nice to come home to a space that feels like it's your own. The room has a bed and shelves, and Kate's promised us a wardrobe and some drawers, so we're on the look out for things like lamps and linen at the mo.

On the job-front, I went for a 4.5hr long interview yesterday where they asked lots of difficult engineering questions that I know that I used to know the answer to. Got a couple more interviews tomorrow, and then it's just a waiting game (which will involve temping to keep the money rolling in). Aaron has got a 3 day temping job at the moment being an office slave for a marketing research company, and an interview on Monday. We will keep you informed.

We now have a cell phone and an address, but I won't post them here as we'll get every freak and his dog harrassing us. If you do need to get in contact with us, or may need to in the future, send me an e-mail and I'll send you the details.
