"Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time."
We booked our tickets this morning, Jacks and I, amid the stress of driving around and time constraints. We fly into Wellington on Saturday, then make our way over a ten-day period to Christchurch, and fly out on the 30th. It will cost us 408$, not counting the 25$ 'leaving fee'.
My job at the pottery ended yesterday, I hugged Yu Pa goodbye, told Mercury 'it's been real', and generally gave good wishes to everyone else. No more kilns, no more glazing, no more seconds cupboard, no more stylists from fancy foodie magazines, no more dispatch filled with packing peanuts. Unless of course Shelly decides she needs me, cash in hand, under the table, for a bit longer. Which I would willingly do. But I doubt she'll go against the rules like that.
So the next few days will be full of finding hostels in NZ to stay in, figuring out that trip, figuring out a bit of the next one, seeing friends, saying goodbyes. Packing. Oh, endless packing.

the human behind the bean
I'm a 27 year old Canadian woman. I grew up on Cape Breton Island, although my parents and their families are from Quebec and Ohio. Currently I live in Cape Breton, in a small town by the Bras D'Or Lake.
I can make a good soup and tie my own shoes. I've worked as a nanny, a potter's assistant, a shop clerk, and a janitor. I've also worked in a library, and taught computers to seniors. I've travelled to Australia and New Zealand and across Canada by train. I spent two and a half years in university before I left. I like the way the air smells in the Fall.
Since 2002 - this is my blog, a place for me to write about life, what I experience, to share my photography and my writing. I'm glad you're here!
