Interesting facts.

NZ. or Aotearoa In Maori, means 'The Land of the long white cloud'. It is quite a young country, geologically active, with tectonic faults and volcanoes, glaciers and rivers constantly building and eroding land. It consists of many islands, the main ones being the North and South island. It used to be part of one land mass, Gondwana, and split off 80 million years ago, taking with it its unique plants and bird life. The first Eastern Polynesian settlers arrived 750 years ago, and the first Europeans to settle arrived in 1769 after discovery by James Cook.

As it is a long thin country, there are several climates and micro climates within, from sub tropical in the North and temperate (similar to UK) in the South. The total population is around 4.2 million ( UK has nearly 63 million) of which 1 million are based in Auckland. Auckalnd also known as the 'The city of sails' (due to a high proportion of boat ownership) is the biggest city, though not the capital, which is Wellinton. Auckland’s weather is warm/hot long summers with mild and wet winters. (average annual sunshine hours= 2050. Manchester=1200 hrs) and (annual average rain=1240mm. Manchester=810mm!) most rain falling as heavy tropical showers in the winter months of June-July

Employed!


Hey I've got a job!
i wasn't going to apply for a job until Meg and Niall had gone back to the UK at the end of August, so i would be around for them, but i saw the part time practice nurse job advertised in the local free paper, only 25 hours/week, and just 10 mins away.

sounded like a perfect solution to my boredom, and lack of friends and money, etc.. and if the hours were over 3 days, then i would still have lots of time off with the kids.

I applied by sending my CV online, and informed them my Nurse registration should be approved any time soon. They phoned me to come for an interview, and in the mean time, my nurse registration came through!

it was like it was meant to be!. the interview was very relaxed and informal, and the next day, they phoned me to offer the job. the hours will be spread over 3 days, with some flexibility too!
excellent! sign me up!

just waiting now for my annual nurses practice certificate,and i can start working. should only be another week or so!

i cant quite believe it. its perfect! and all happened so fast!
