Serious Writer’s Block
Forgive me for what will forever be known as ‘The Week Dayna Fell Off the Face of the Earth’. Truth is, the last week has been spent in writer’s wilderness, being completely overwhelmed with the world around me and unable to form any sort of written word to describe it. I’ve felt that anything I were to write would somehow take away from the experiences I’ve had. But I guess that comes with the blogging territory eh?
Any and all keystrokes are open for interpretation, leaving the entire truth/reality solely in the mind of the author.
Pen + Paper + A modern cafe = Philosophical Babble. I’ll stop with that now.
This week has gone over and beyond any expectations I had. Thankfully, the last time I was in Wellington most of my time was reserved for club hopping/sleeping in to the late afternoon. Why thankfully? Because if I hadn’t, I would’ve never met Matt and he would have nothing to show me this time around.
I think we’ve done most of the major sightseeing Wellington has to offer. The weather has been really nice and the notorious Wellington Wind hasn’t been much to complain about. I think it’s pretty much the same as Vancouver’s experiencing right now, just a little colder.
I’m starting to feel settled in. I finally unpacked and organized all my stuff yesterday, and by some miracle, everything fit without having to cram random things into the closet or under the bed (for the most part). Today I had a job interview, and signed up with a temping agency. At least now I have a better idea what to expect job-wise and will hopefully get a few assignments while I look for a more permanent job.
I leave you with some pictures from the last week, and promise my next post won’t have you waiting for a week.

Glad to hear you are settling in. Wellington is a fun city! I see you went on the Cable Car … that’s a “must do”. Enjoy spending time with your man, and good luck with the interview.

Nice to see you and nice pics.
Say hi to Matt.
I ate some ginger crunch last week, made in Roberts Creek instead of New Zealand.
Talk with you soon.

Apologies for intruding on what appears to be a personal blog, but as a New Zealander currently on the other side of the world, you should love Wellington. The city of my birth and still one of my fav’ places in NZ.
Moving across the world is fun, but never easy, however, the internet and mobile phones help a heck of a lot.
Good luck.

Hello again!
I’m sooo excited from looking at your pics – and getting pretty emotional too as I both can’t wait for Welly to become ‘home’ and really don’t want to leave Newcastle in the UK because it’s where I know and love.
Hope you’re settling in well, I will keep up with your blog to see what the craic is in Wellington. By the way, is Matt Wellington born and bred? If he is what school did he go to? I wonder if it’s a very small world and he went to school with my Kiwi!
