Back to the Future

Someone call Doc Emmett Brown. I have seriously gone back in time to 1999. While we rent our house in Petone, we are crashing (squatting?) in the middle of uni student central, next door to my old flat on Devon Street. But now IM the cool 'mature student' strutting down Kelburn Parade to my grown up job. Im visiting the old haunts: swimming to the Oriental Bay fountain, drinking with the glowworms down Holloway Road, loitering in the Uni Quad hoping someone will ask me to play a game of hacky sack.

Not long to go now, all going to plan. Frantically packing, storing, weeding, visiting, crying, dreaming, game playing, filing, saving, not saving etc. No space in my brain to actually get excited yet, still so much to do. Roll on final visa confirmation on Feb 22nd.

  1. Be careful swimming in the bay Doug - I remember the time you went for a swim after the Christmas lunch... we wondered what sort of OHS drama would ensue if you drowned.
