Wellington, Veronica and Vimes

I finally booked my tickets for Wellington today. I've gone once a year for the past three years, mostly because I just adore the city but this time I'm going to try and check out the job market, because dude, it's finally time. I'm going insane in the job I'm in now and I think it's time I moved out and lived away from home. Christchurch is all well and good, but I need more of a change than just living on the other side of town.

I still think back to that night nearly two years ago when I just walked around Wellington at night. There was just this little warm breeze and it was beautiful. I walked for two hours, by myself, just around the waterfront and around the city, watching them lay the red carpet right down Courtney Place for the RotK premiere. I felt at peace, or something like it. It's hard to explain. Just, every time I go there I feel like that it is where I should be.

Anyway, middle of November, I'm there for five days. I'm effectively travelling alone, but I have a friend or two I can visit up there.

I really was trying to get through Northern Lights this time but then I walked through Whitcoulls and saw the new Terry Pratchett book, Thud! I'm now reading that, because I am powerless before a Vimes book. My love for him is just ridiculous.

It's good so far. Not spectacular, but definitely enjoyable.

I will get back to Northern Lights though, because I'm definitely interested in where it's going. However, I have already been been side-tracked by the back-story. Inevitable really.
