June already. Hard to know how that happened. Time, as always, speeds up as you approach a deadline.Apart from the dreadful weather, it’s been a lovely weekend. I had a good cricket net for two hours with some of the lads and I feel like I’ve kept a bit of the form I was starting to show at the end of the season. Later that day, a few bits and pieces around the flat before heading off to the Gurdwara on Sunday morning for the first time in weeks.
I had a surprise in store. As the shabad are sung in the Gurdwara, there is a now a big projector screen on which a computer projects the shabad lyrics in both pubjabi, gurmurkhi and english scripts. Quite amazing. It was nice to catch up with people and I definitely want to be back there at least one more Sunday before I go to London. The rest of the weekend was in in Waikanae with Kate and her father Tim – and a cold night it was too. Winter really has hit New Zealand over the last week, blowing autumn aside with a cold blast up from the antarctic.
I’m still unsure as to what work I will have when I get to the UK. At the moment, it looks like nothing. I hope I’ll be able to sort something out over the next 6 weeks or so which is when i will be available for work. And Kate is in the same position. I have two weeks left at work in NZ, then off to the UK briefly before the course in New York, and then … uncertainty. We’ll have to ride that out for a few weeks yet. Until then, packing, making the most of what Wellington has to offer, and getting to the finale of Battlestar Galactica. It’ll be good to have certainty in that at least.
