Crikey how time flies. Last time I blogged about the countdown it was 30 weeks to go until the end of my contract at work. Now the last 7 weeks have passed in a flash.

I apologise that blog has been dominated by house stuff and the interesting side of New Zealand had disappeared, I’ll try harder in the coming weeks to give you more insight into kiwi life.

The last seven weeks have been frankly too much work and not enough play. It seems that NZ Government has woken up earlier this year and it’s been full on in the office, probably not helped by having my chief media advisor off for almost four weeks. Also, work related, I’m five weeks into one coaching course and two weeks into another so that’s keeping me busy with reading, homework and being attached to the telephone for classes or coaching clients.

But at least the sun has been shining most of this time and the house developments have been fun to think about and watch. With only a couple of weeks to Easter I need to start thinking really hard about the domestic executive ambitions as I said I would declare my hand on my contract at Easter.

Just to reassure you, I’ll not be signing onto a permenant contract. That is definite. I’m still focused on coaching and consulting in between getting the garden up and running, not to mention the menagerie of animals.

So, time flies and that’s the way I like it. By the time my executive contract time is over I’ll be ready for a new challenge of a domestic kind.
