Doom and Gloom!

So here I am, sat in my bedroom at 57 Duncan Road, cold, bored and miserable, thinking of the glorious sunshine and weather back 'HOME' in Auckland!!

Today marks my one week anniversary of being back here in this 'hell hole'! Tonight whilst driving back from South Wigston I past a group of about 20 kids, none of which where older than 15, smoking, drinking and just generally causing trouble. It made me think of what those kids would be doing if they were living elsewhere, for instance NZ?! Is it any wander this country is in the dire state that it is, when the only thing for kids to do at night time, is either stay at home where they feel safe, or run the risk of being 'just another statistic' on the countries growing list of youth fatalities!  I know I was no saint when I was their age, but I was never doing the things they're doing!!

Lets just hope these next 7 months go by as quick as the past 7 days!!!!
