Dr Meghan Stephens

I eventually graduated!! Obviously it wouldn't really be worth flying home for the ceremony, so Patrick (now Dr Patrick Browne) recorded it for me on his phone. If you turn up the volume you can hear my name and thesis title being called out, and Patrick saying "yay".

Cheers Patrick!

More Irish immigrants.

Brian and Sandra have also decided to escape the recession and move to Wellington. What can I say, we're trend setters.

It's all fine with us though, as they keep on making us dinner.







New Zealand is all very exciting for them..... just look at the joy on their faces after seeing their first Kiwi sheep.

New Job, New House and EARTHQUAKE.

Mike got a new job this week, working for someone who was involved with this building. I'm hoping to retire soon.

For the first time in years we are now living in a proper house and not a tiny "apartment" (cupboard)! It's so big that we have had to buy walkie-talkies in order to keep in touch, and this morning it took me 15 minutes to find my keys. Our new address is 39 Tarikaka Street, Ngaio, Wellington.

We thought it couldn't get more exciting than that, but then we felt our first earthquake! Afterwards we realised that our reaction of grinning at each other from the excitement probably wasn't what was recommended by the experts.
