Welcome

Hello!
Welcome to my website... This will tell you so much about me, some of you will never have found out these things about me, so I thought it was time to reveal myself! 

I am also to be found on Facebook under my proper name (Paula) and on Friends Reunited too. You can leave me a message through either of them if you don't have my home email, please just drop me a line - I'd like to hear from you!

The theme of the site is an acknowledgement that I have returned to university this year for my PhD... and there is an update on the earthquake status also. Thank you everyone for your support this last year and a bit. I have really appreciated it.

Where is Home?

I'm still living in Christchurch in New Zealand - on the mainland (AKA the South Island).

Its warm (even hot) in summer and cold in winter. I love it!

I had just finished repainting the outside of the house in this photo so my roses and shrubs have had a significant trim and are missing their usual glory! To the left of the front door I now have 5 white standard roses and four red and pink shrub roses in front of them. It will be anyones guess how they fare this year since we have our first hosepipe ban.. Keep your fingers crossed they won't get too stressed.

Personality - affirmations of love

I did a personality test to decide on how I like to demonstrate my love for my family and friends - and incidentally how I perceive my family's and friend's love for me.
Out of a total of 30 points I came out with these scores.
So now you know, if you want to show affection - take some action to help me. 
Or if you are wondering if I'm showing you affection or friendship you can tell by what I'm doing for you.
