The first weekend after my exam was spent relaxing and having fun. On Saturday, the couple, Andy & Jenny in flat 3 of our block of 4 held a BBQ. This was really Jenny's leaving party as both of them are heading back to Perth, Australia as they were only in NZ for a year. However, Jenny was leaving a bit earlier to go to Melbourne for a massage course first.

Anyway, they invited some of their friends and all the flat occupants to the BBQ. We also invited a couple of friends. It was lovely to meet some more new people in Wellington. The weather was also good - not too windy. Jenny made a couple of cakes as well which were superb.

Later, when the sun went down we moved the party into Andy & Jenny's flat. Jenny had been on some sort of massage course already so she gave the girls a head, neck and shoulder massage which was divine. A perfect end to the day.

On Sunday, it was Run/Swim number 2, this time in Eastbourne. Anna picked me up and we headed over there. The official times still haven't been published but I think it was around 24 mins or thereabouts, so an improvement on my time at Kilbirnie a few weeks ago.

Afterwards Graham met us and we went for a little walk around Eastbourne. The Eastbourne carnival was taking place that Sunday so we had a look around. Plenty of stalls - crafts, food and clothes etc. We also walked past an Open House so we had a nosey round to see a typical beachfront house. Nice, but really overpriced!
