The last few days have been a super start to 2012 as I have been spending some time with the gorgeous Gaby from this little port who helped me start to tick off a few of the above ('vegetarian meals' - if you're in Chch make sure you visit The Lotus Heart and 'meeting new people').
I now have around 2 and a half weeks before I go back to work so let's get started. Woo motivation.
