New crib and new car

I know I'm getting lazy and my apologies for that, but much has happened. Last time I was complaining about tuff that was happening at work and my living circumstances. The good news is that I finally moved from Arthurs Point and sharing a place in Marina Heights now with a Kiwi bloke. It's a real cool place with a big terrace and great view over the lake and the Remarkables. I've made a little movie to show this:



Right, now for the bad news. I almost killed myself driving downhill and crashing my car, quite randomly. It was the first rainy day in three weeks and roads where slippery. I went into a corner and took it too wide so tried to correct that and started slipping around. Of course I hit the brake (D'oh!) and hit a bump while shoving off the road. This launched me over a fence. After rolling five times I finally landed on my roof, with no injuries what so ever. It was like a movie scene. I'm happy I survived it but it costed me heaps of money. Besides losing the car I had to pay towing costs and had to take two driving lessons and pay for that. Eventually got everything taken care of and with the help of my parents I was able to buy a new car. Without that I wouldn't have been able to move out and all that so I'm very grateful for it (the new car can also be seen on the movie). For the rest of my time here, things are better at work but I'm stuck in a routine, as happens with a job, which kinda sucks. Not much to say about that so I just pass my days as normal as I can. I also bought a seasons ski pass so gonna do heaps of snowboarding in winter which I'm really looking forward to.

Till next time!

Ciao
