Christchurch - Friday - Arrived in the afternoon, having forked out $90 excess baggage. Proceeded to turn Ian and Bevs house into something resembling the aftermath of a force 10 Hurricane (not sure if force 10 is well large or not but you get the idea). Went and saw Mels mates Marcus, Nick, Nathan and Jamie (aka The Undercurrents) play at Creation gallery. This place used to be a porn theatre so theres a large screen behind the stage which was used to first show Death Race 2000, followed by Faust. Two bizarre films at the best of times but remove the sound and have bands play music at the same time and the plot is anyones guess. Well confused but a fantastic, multimedia, cerebral feast!!!
Since Friday have been catching up with friends and family (a couple of very cute babies).
Have bought a laptop to take with us. With Mels Dad being an apple-a-maniac we got a good deal on an iBook (I am in fact typing this very message on it - doesn't help the quality of my prattle though). Had a minor heart mumur when we accidentally wiped our iPod of its contents (which apparently everyone does at least once due to apples wonderful software - I really wanted to type that in the most sarcastic font I could find but how exactly does a font look sarcastic?). Chris is, thank the gods, coming to our rescue and sending the songs on DVD to us so we can reload them. (ps Chris if we can find a Magnum of blonde Mac - its yours!!)
Have my driving test first thing Friday morning. We have hired a little Mazda Demio to run around in while we're here and for me to practice and do the test in. Need to have a couple of dry runs around the streets but I am beginning to love Christchurch's wide flat streets. Fingers crossed!!!
