Well, I've been there a few times now, and I got to see Waiheke Island, as well as Okura when we visited in 2019. I'm keen to move. I think that it's a chance to expand my ethos, and I got the vibe that Chloe's quite keen for me to live in Auckland Central. However, I'm still sticking it out in Wellington for the rest of 2024. I think that my current place is the right place to write my book, given that I can still visit the CBD to capture that flavour. - Plus there's the political stuff: Gary and Dakta are going on their bucket list trip during the winter, so that's my time to shine re: Question Time. Plus probably a submission to the Select Committee. I'm overjoyed at the polls, and I think that augurs well for my debates!🏳️‍⚧️ - I'm also considering moving to Dunedin. I've been there before: in Year 11, I was in the mixed choir and we went to the Big Sing finals there. Plus I saw Chris Martin score his only double-digit test score against Bangladesh at the University Oval with my Dad. It's nice to have options.
