A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!
10 hours left in NZ, and frankly i'm feeling quite weird. I've not packed, i've got loads of painful goodbyes still to do and i don't actually want to leave NZ :o(
On the bright side though, i've spoken to Gill, my contact in Aussie, and discovered that Aimee has very kindly said that i can stay in her flat in Sydney for a night. Which is going to make turning up in a new city & country a whole lot less stressful than it otherwise would have been. I've also got the Lucksmiths gig to look forward to tomorrow night too - woohoo!
There's loads of stuff i feel like saying at the minute, but time doesn't really allow for it. The last year has quite possibly been the best one of my life, and i'd like to send love, respect and hugs to everyone that i've met in NZ. (Even the ones that don't read this website!) Thanks for making my year such a total joy, from start to finish.
While i'm at it, love to everyone i know in the UK too! The fact that i'll get to see you lot again in 6 weeks is one of the few reasons i'm actually going to force myself to get on the plane tomorrow morning (At 5.50 am! - yuk).
Well, if anyones still reading this drivel, stay tuned for some Aussie based action in the near future, as Ted In NZ transforms into TED IN AUSSIE! Woohoo! (You can't wait can you? I can tell)
