Today has been an excellent day. Having been paid for the first time earlier this week, and having cleared all my immediately important bills, I decided to do some shopping.
First I found a bottle shop which sells Monteith’s Summer ale, which is a spectacularly good New Zealand beer, and so I bought a dozen (which true to Simone’s predictions at the time of purchase is almost certainly not going to be enough).
Then on into the city where I bought a fedora style hat, on the principle that I have long wanted one, and I should buy something lasting and memorable with my first pay packet. I’m eagerly looking forward to having an opportunity to wear it somewhere, and when I get a good photo of me in it I’ll post it on the site.
Then, after weeks of discussion and anticipation we took a trip out to the RSPCA and found a new family member, namely Jack, a 9 week old male tabby cat with enormous paws. Much more will no doubt be said about Jack on this blog as he become part of the family.

Cats do the cutest things
Jack is settling in very well here, and I am basically finding everything he does cute and funny. It’s really great having a cat around again, and I had kind of forgotten how damn cute they can be.
Playing with paper.
Falling over chasing their own tail.
Running too and fro and playing peek-a-boo around the edge of furniture..
Anyway. I’ve made a little movie for you amusement of some of Jack’s first day at home.

The Gmail Phenomenon
Everyone seems to be getting Gmail addresses at the moment. Just like a few years ago when everyone seemed to have a hotmail address, now everyone seems to be switching to Google. It’s rather funny watching the flowing tides of internet trendiness.

Christmas salutations
I hope you are all having a merry christmas out there.
This year hasn’t really felt much like christmas until today, what with packing, moving, graduating, and working, but my little nephew and niece running around and getting all excited about their presents shoe-horned the christmas spirit back into place for me.
For those of you who for whatever reason (oversight, email failure, unknow address, etc) didn’t recieve our christmas letter, I have uploaded it onto the site so you can download it and read it (again) if you so wish. It’s about 800kb (thanks to all the exciting picture it contains), so may take a few minutes to download (just so you’re forewarned).

Formation flying
Today I saw, I think for the first time ever (or the first time I can recall at least) geese flying in a “V”. I’ve always known that they do it, but I haven’t ever seen it except on TV. Now I’ve actually seen it, and it’s pretty cool.

First day’s work, first day’s overtime
Well I’ve just finished my first day at work, and put in for my first overtime too. Turns out that one of the other interns was away sick, and so we the registrar on my team (a registrar is the next level up the chain of command (so to speak) above an intern in a medical team), so I was looking after 2 team’s patient’s with no-one to ask questions to. Luckily one of the other registrars was friendly and helpful, and let me bug her with stupid queries all day, but it was still a full on intro to the world of medical work.
Still, I survived it, and if I managed that on my first day it can’t be going to be that bad (can it???)…
