I’ve talked before about the wonders of technology and we were once again able to experience the closeness of the whanau in the UK across the internet. Very frustrating when Auntie June is passing around cups of tea to those on camera in the UK and we’re left without!
MT has another new boy’s toy which allows him to attach his iPod to a radio and when combined with some special software he is able to down load all sorts of programmes from the Beeb and other broadcasting institutions. Podcasting is really bringing home to NZ as we listen to the weekly news casts and I can listen to my beloved Archers (shocking about Ruth, David and Sam!).
Email has poured in from my note to friends and family to say hello. Blog readership has sky rocketed and once again I’ve felt connected with folks back home in the UK. It’s good to know you’re out there reading about our exploits in NZ and continuing your encouragement of our endevours to live the NZ dream.
I’m off to Christchurch today which is another new adventure – pity I’m going to spend it all in boring offices talking to colleauges!
