Never before have I had to put so much time and effort into achieving something that I didn't actually want.

At least we've agreed to give the UK a go for 2 years, and head back to NZ if we don't like it! So......D minus 720 and counting.

Hammer time.

Forgot to train for Taupo, forgot to enter and forgot to drive down. That sucks.

Loving the fresh UK winter, cold n crisp, not a cloud in the sky #keepitup.

Life in the UK day #2. Beautiful crisp sunny day, feels like a holiday, Oxford is rather lovely. Must kick the jet-lag and look for a house.

Time to buy a car, I think I will go for a UK super-sized engine, maybe 1.2 litre, 1.4 for a real speed machine!

Wouldn't be Christmas shopping if I did it an earlier than today #neurofenpluswillgetmethrough

I just rembered my twitter name and password, welcome back me.

5month absence, quick scan, looks like nobody I know uses twitter. #correctmeifimwrong

Looking for a new job. Did you say where? #NEWZEALAND_WHEREELSE?

Just explained twitter to my wife #notthatimpressed

Followed up with a demonstration of hash tag #equallyunderwhelmed

Nice little pedal around the Gloucestershire country side. It's officially summer, reluctantly remove leg warmers.

Montreal?

New phone and a return to twitter.

Time to head back to NZ, had enough of this UK stop over #flyingsolo

Get me out of here #timetocallitaday

So close now I have butter fly stomach. The return to NZ is looking possible. Can't wait. #shouldneverhaveleft

Back in NZ for 5 months, just remembered my twitter password. Long term memory not dead yet.
