Work has been dithering about whether I can have my annual leave until April 6.

6 weeks it has taken them to make a decision.

And now it turns out they have given it to the Sgt that supervises me, because he signed the bottom of the form.

I could have been booking flights accommodation et al in order to make some surprise visits to some chums.

Now I will waste days looking for flights, when in real terms I could have been out of the country tomorrow am.

And as it’s V Day.

For the ladies out there a suitable quote for you.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightfowardingly, without complexities or pride. So I love you because i know no other way than this…” Pablo Neruda

For those of you that want some colour. New Photos uploaded today to show you waht’s been going on over here.

Seem to be getting some plants up now.

I need to have over 80 , because they need 80 as wedding party favours , so just in case any don’t stay alive I am deliberately growing more.

This is still up there as one of my faves , my intro music for live sets

After a nightmare of a weekend of day shifts , that started at 0430 hrs on Saturday and finally ended at 2210 hrs yesterday, when I finally walked through my front door.

It’s back to the smoke for two nights and then boy am I looking forward to the days off.

Still no news on my leave grant but it appears sadly that once again I will not be able to venture to the southern hemisphere. Big downer.

I will however be able to have a chance to get away, I don’t know where to just yet, but France is high on the agenda.

I constantly scour the www for any employment opportunity in NZ mostly to no avail.

Last week I spied an ace job , Ranger for DOC in Northland , Keri Keri in fact.

Just up my street.

Just as my spirits were lifted, they were soon dashed as I was not a resident and I don’t think DOC would be the sort of agency that would utilise the ‘ Work to residency’ policy.

So it’s back to looking again.

Or waiting for a mysterious benefactor to sponsor me.

I wonder if anyone out there in NZ is looking for someone like me ?

Who can tell ?

It’s just getting there that’s the problem , one could and would be able attend courses and adult education over there.

I have looked into local vocational courses but there is nothing that I could undertake within my windows of availability that tickles my fancy that I could use to increase my emigration prospects.

Eight years seems so far away before I can retire and get over there to indulge in my dreams.

What other options do I have ?

Trying to find interest in this new selection of tunes from my Gogol Bordello , but it’s really not hitting the spot and my hard drive would be better employed with more me stuff.
