Street art

Quite a lot has happened since the last time I wrote a post. We have found a house in Island Bay, which is about 3 miles out of the centre of town. It’s a 15-minute drive from here to my office, or a 35 minute cycle. While we were looking to be within easy walking distance of the centre, this is a nice enough place while we get ourselves settled in.

I’ve started work on the 9^th floor of the majestic centre, the tallest building in the city (this isn’t as exciting as it would be in London, as good views are so easy to access in Wellington). It’s pretty nice working in the centre though, because it is so compact that most things (places to eat, the waterfront, parks, the library, shops) are within a 5-minute walk.

We’ve been busy settling in to our new house, so we haven’t done many exciting things over the last couple of weekends. However, there is loads of good street art in Wellington, which we’ve been taking pictures of along the way.

I found this one where everyone looks a bit stoned quite entertaining.

Also, Ash went back to her parents’ house recently to pick up some bits for our house and got this cool shot of the stars.

Hopefully now that we have got ourselves established in Wellington we will have some more exciting things to tell you about next time.
