Moved Skinny down to Wellington on the 3rd (Saturday). 3 days into the new year and I’m already going for a road trip lol. Loaded up the van with all his stuff and took it down there. Ass end was so low. Driving down we listened to the audiobook Bill Bryson’s “A Short History of Nearly Everything” which is pure win if you wanna know tonnes of random little facts about how stuff around the world and how science stuff works.

Yeah, skinny got a job software testing for the government, got a nice little flat in Newtown. Wellington was pretty nice, went for a few drives. It’s actually amazing how much more relaxed Wellington is than Auckland. Tonnes of bogans in Newtown as well, was cool. Lots of weirdos tho. We started yelling out “Weirdo!” everytime we saw one but then on observing that there were shitloads of weirdo’s around we started yelling out “Wellingtonian!” instead (no offense to any Wellingtonian’s).

I went and watched him on his BMX at island bay skatepark, he’s pretty mean on a BMX. Should’ve taken some vids but no camera. Yeah.

Was gonna see Tiger while I was in town but she didn’t reply to my email so wasn’t worried, think she was in Christchurch anyway lol.

I left on the Monday, after dropping Skinny off at work – bout 830am dept time. Was cool on the way back, pulled over for a rest, jumped in the back in my hammock and read my book. Bill Bryson’s “A Walk in the Woods”. Dude is a genius.

Got back to DF at about 6pm, bit long but did have quite a few rests.
