Is It All Coming Together At Last?

Yes, I'm still in NZ, and, thanks to God's providence, still getting all my accommodation, food, phone calls and internet access for nothing!

For example, before I began typing this I exchanged a free drinks voucher for an orange juice in the bar downstairs. Since I have been typing this, someone has come up to me and wordlessly replaced it with 2 free drinks vouchers! That may sound a trivial example, but I really can't remember the last time I paid for food or drink, and I know I'm putting on weight.

Today I sat in on another radio programme, just to watch. I had been going to have a practice on some of their equipment, but their computers were going down. Interestingly, no-one there much liked the idea of having to go over to playing music from CD without the computer, whereas this is the only way I have ever made programmes!

This evening I was in the audience of the TV2 Christmas Special, recorded at St Matthew's-In-The-City Church. Presenter du jour Dominic Bowden was recording a special Christmas music show, featuring various well-known kiwi bands – such as Goldenhorse, Jamoa Jam, Adeaze, Amber Clare and Ben Lummis - performing carols in a church. It seemed alot like Later With Jools Holland. It'll be broadcast on Christmas Eve.

At the moment I may well miss it as I'm due to return to the UK on 19th December, but I might stay longer.
