Darnit! I got bitten by another spider last night while I was asleep. Now there's two options that occurred here. It either wasn't a white-tailed spider, because it hasn't come up all horrible with a white pulsating centre (instead it's just slightly swollen and itchy), or it WAS a white-tailed spider, but the Reiki I did on it today prevented the poison from taking hold. Either way, it's just slightly swollen and itchy at the moment.

Ok, we woke up around 7:45am, had breakfast in the kitchen of the backpackers, and then drove around New Plymouth for a while, looking at the beaches and stuff. We walked along a wharf at the ‘Taranaki Marina’ and then went out to Mt Egmont (also known as Mt Taranaki). It was supposed to be the highlight of the area, because it’s a Mt Fuji lookalike (big Japanese Mountain near Tokyo), but yesterday and today had too much cloud cover, so we weren’t able to see anything from probably about 200 metres up. We got to a reasonable level to sit and have a bite to eat and look out over New Plymouth, and take some photos. Along the way back to New Plymouth we stopped at a small reserve of some kind and sat by a nice little river.

Mel arrived on Friday midnight , and after taking her for a drive through the city to show her Wellington's nightlife, we went home and 'caught up on gossip' before heading to bed.
Yesterday, got up too late to make breakfast so bummed around over toast and orange juice before heading off to pick up my friend Vicky and her friend Sally. We drove around the bays and had lunch at a cafe called the Chocolate Fish, which has a lovely view of the water. After lunch we continued the drive around the bays and then took Vicky and Sally back home, and then just came home ourselves and bummed around for the afternoon. Taking it easy was the order of the day.

Yeh yeh, I know… it's been over 2 weeks since my last entry. 
But I've still been active on here, so hopefully you'll enjoy the total experience of my activity. 
Today is my last day at work. Tomorrow I have a day off because of this: a week of graveyard finishes at 8am Saturday. If you go back to a normal shift, you start as normal on the Monday, therefore you effectively have only a one-day weekend. To compensate, they give you the first Friday off, so that you have a 3-day weekend following the completion of the graveyard shift. However, because I've applied for leave from Friday, I've therefore got Thursday off because of the graveyard rules. So today is my last day of work.
