25th March – 3rd April 2018 25th March After a long and tiring week, we finally got a little lie in on Sunday. The night before, Mo had suggested that we go out for the morning, for a coffee/ hot chocolate, so we were up just after 8. It was a slow process to get …
12th March – 24th March 12th March We were up early on Monday morning as I was working a 1-5 shift and we still needed to get back home and get changed. We got up, packed up our clothes from the weekend and headed downstairs to get a lift down to the station from Mary. …
26th February – 11th March 26th February The next morning, I woke up about 9 and head downstairs to get some breakfast. After breakfast, me and Joe played Yahtzee for a little while, as I didn’t have to be in work until lunchtime. After only a couple of games, we decided it was time for …

2nd January – 13th January 2018 2nd January After a reasonably quick flight, with no naps, we landed in Avalon at about 11.30.

30th December 2017 – 2nd January 2018 30th December After our super early start in Melbourne, we arrived at Avalon airport much earlier than we needed to, but that was probably because everything had gone so smoothly at this point: there was no traffic, we parked up easily and there was no queue at security, …
20th December – 30th December 2017 20th December We arrived at Christchurch airport, in plenty of time. We checked in and sent our bags off before wandering through the airport to our gate. We had loads of time to spare, so we sat at the gate for a while and waited for it to open. …
