HI ALL
this comes to you from a dreadful computer terminal at auckland airport
- this is now my third attempt (take my advice, never send an email from an airport kiosk internet machine!)

so my time is now up, shortly i'll be boarding my long flight to home-shores with mixed emotions.
excited about coming home but naturally very sad about leving this beautiful country.

so over the last two weeks, i've not only been to two weddings but also managed 5 leaving do's between hamilton and wellington! each one another nail in the coffin signifying my end is near... and so my time here does well and truly now feel up
had a fantastic send off from my church in hamilton, really tying things up nicely here and making me feel like this incredible year has been so worthwhile.

gotta go now
byee for now, and look forward to catching ya's soon
lots of love
Mat
