sorry i shouldn't knock it but it word sounds okay i don't think you can see my place from here i think it's behind one of the tower blocks yeah because i <.>can't i can't do it the other way i mean i've tried looking <{><[><,> for the coalcorp building <[>yeah it's a good view yeah it's <.>really i found it really ironic when i was living in mount cook that <,> like thompson street and brooklyn and all these places aren't called HILLS or anything <{1><[1>but mount cook which is this little slope is called <{2><[2>mount <[1>laughs <[2>laughs yeah i kept complaining as i was walking up to varsity <,> <{><[>because i'd just got back from canterbury <[>laughs laughs yeah laughs <{1><[1>quite bad <,> yeah oh oh it's all these stairs <{2><[2>i mean i'm just moving there <[1>yeah <[2>oh yep and pete's just talking about moving word with tim and greg <{><[><.>he's <[>right <.>i've i knew he was vaguely thinking about moving i didn't know he <&>9:00 was that specific <&>pronounced as pacific well he actually went and had a look at some flats right yesterday i <{><[>think <[>oh yeah and i won't <.>know i mean <,> laughs i don't know <.>whether whether they're going <.>to i actually silently hope they don't because i mean where i am now is really <,> convenient to them to them i don't know where they are where are they berhampore yeah i know i knew berhampore it's where in <{><[>berhampore <[>laughs there isn't much <{><[>of berhampore like you know the big green bottle shop <[>laughs mm yeah and you turn right at the big green bottle shop yeah then you're going along <.>the up up when you go <{><[>up towards the school yeah <[>britomart street oh yeah and if you turn LEFT like just after the school yeah that's daniel street and they're sort of <,> <&>10:00 <{1><[1>really near <.>the the school <{2><[2>in daniel street <[1>oh yeah <[2>oh yeah i've never been there i mean i can understand why they want to move yeah but um just to swim <{><[>yeah <[>laughs yeah laughs i was like listening to word sort <.>of <&>makes noise one other thing <{><[>further <[>laughs it's really funny how everyone's moved um sort of gravitating towards the central city though <,> <{><[>you know <[>yeah yeah it was really odd because um richard and kate went out last night and miranda's been away for the weekend and aaron and i went home and watched on video there was this phone call for richard about a flat <,,> sort of call so and so about the northland flat <,> so i'm really INTRIGUED because it sounds like he's been flathunting <,> and presumably he and miranda will be moving out together because they're a couple and <.>s like they haven't been arguing or anything that i've noticed <{><[>and it's just really weird because no one's said anything <[>laughs <&>11:00 yeah so i'm kind of hoping that they will and then i could invite <.>beth belinda to move in <.>and and someone else and sort of fill it up with people i know <{><[>laughs <[>laughs yeah it's really horrible i think but i <.>mean <,> i mean it would suck becoming more of a new place word word <{><[>word yeah <[>word i mean that's the really good thing about being me <{1><[1>it's got to be a word laughs <{2><[2>laughs <[1>yeah <[2>it doesn't have any choice laughs yes so tough shit pete yeah i'll go and give him <{><[>mine laughs <[>yeah laughs oh yeah you can actually lean back on that laughs <{><[>laughs voc <[>yeah it just feels like it's going to go <{><[><,> splat <[>laughs yeah it was quite weird like that was samuel's chair yeah and i always thought that i wouldn't feel it like when he came along um but the first <&>12:00 sort of week after he left i sat in it i <.>just i word like it laughs can you reach the floor i have a thing you have a thing yeah <,> mm which um i also like yeah yeah <,> word but i mean <.>it it still doesn't quite work <,> because ideally the <.>arms cos when i sit so that my hands are at the right angle for the key board and my feet are at the right angle on that like what should <.>be what should be sort of perfect um the arms of the chair word here right <,,> but never mind word it is quite comfy mm yeah laughs and it has an interesting squeak <{><[>laughs <[>laughs laughs <&>13:00 yeah i really like you know having a chair that leans back like that yeah once you get used to it i mean i can really understand why you know that the traditional office thing in that the managers have chairs like <{><[>that and the <.>women the people down have chairs like this one <[>laughs yeah <.>that that have backs and arm rests but don't really lean back properly <.>and and the next slot down <.>has has <,> no arm rests mm it's sort of a power thing because <{><[>when you're lying back like this you can be really relaxed and in control <[>yeah mm but yeah oh it's quite comfy <{1><[1>even if it does squeak <{2><[2>laughs <[1>laughs <[2>yeah <,,><&>3 after you left on friday night aaron dragged me <&>14:00 up on the roof aaron said come up on the roof and look at the lights and so i went up on the roof and looked at the lights and then i couldn't get down again because the roof was all wet <.>and and i was scared i was going to slip and go <.>s <{1><[1>SPLAT and i got really <{2><[2>scared and had to crawl down <[1>laughs <[2>laughs <.>how how do you get up on your roof i mean onto <{><[>aaron's roof <[>on their roof with the ladder <.>i mm yeah i've <.>al i'm always curious about the roof up here like i'm told you can get up on it <,> but i've never actually tried try it mm try when there's no one else around yeah that is quite a good idea do you want to go up there after we've finished taping this okay cos i actually finished what i'm doing here just before you arrived oh right <,,> word <,,><&>3 <{><[>it's <.>quite <[>it's your fire truck it's <{><[><,> sharon's <&>15:00 <[>laughs i didn't know it said coalcorp on it though <{><[>word <[>oh <.>i've i've stuck coalcorp stickers <{><[>on it reasonably recently <[>right it's really cool <,> <.>like <,,><&>4 yes <.>but it GOES <,,> does the ladder come up oh wow the ladder goes up mm <,,><&>3 which in relation to the <,> truck how tall would the building be laughs assuming that the truck is <,> is a word <{><[>fire truck <[>a <.>pers a person would be about that tall? yep so <.>that so a building er a storey of the building would be about that tall <,,> <&>16:00 well done <,> that must depend <,> er mm er mm could be extra bits here maybe which isn't bad <,> yep i really like it yeah i really like having it yeah oh did i tell you that i um there's a new shop in aro <,> valley called meteorological instruments incorporated or something and it's <,> got all these really cute things in it like barometers and wind meters and things like that <{1><[1>and also some things about planets like um er what do you call those things <.>that bits hang down <,,> <{2><[2>mobiles they're mobiles they've got a mobile of the <&>17:00 planets you know <{3><[3>and things like that so i went in and asked them if they had a moon map and they said no we've never heard of one would you like a map of something else <{4><[4>and i said no i want a moon map so i called sharie cos that was when she was around and she was coming over and asked her to tell me what <.>sh her one was called and she told me and i've forgotten again but i wrote it down and told them and i have to go back and hassle them about it <&>17:18 <[1>oh wow <[2>laughs <[3>oh wow <[4>laughs
