That’s me Just Jax. How about you - who are you? Nice to meet you - I think.

@Gabz Hi Gabz - nice to meet what country would that be? Im a kiwi. smile.

@Jax Oh cool! Well, I’m originally from Puerto Rico, friends and family call me Gaby or Gabz. Whereas most coworkers here in the US call me Gabe instead.

@Gabz Mucho Gusto! Puerto Rico is wonderful - though I have not been for years! Thank you for the welcome!

@Jax Hi Jax. Welcome to Micro.Blog from a fellow Kiwi.

@Jax ha ... great intro!

@JohnPhilpin Ha! Isn’t it just - don’t tell John Oliver! lol

@Miraz Kia Ora! Where are you based now? And Where in NZ - I’m from Wellers.

@Jax introducing you to @herself ... another Kiwi

@JohnPhilpin thanks! Hey @Jax, I’m in Wellington too!

@Jax I spent about 30 years in Wellington but now live up the coast near Levin where the weather's better and the beach is better. 😀

@Miraz I remember the drive my family has a place at Otaki too! Lovely spot of the planet you are at!

@herself whaat that’s awesome- tell me more!!

@herself oh and Kia Ora

@Jax Aha! We're a smidge further along at Waikawa Beach.

@herself awesome tell me whereabouts and what you are doing? Im@actually in The San Francis Bay Area USA but will be back in NZ for 3 months this coming NZ summer

@Miraz oh yes know it well love the dogs!! So cute!

@Jax Nice! I live in Eastbourne, looking back at the city. I'm 'sahm'-ing, but I also do software testing part time and am (very slowly) working on a book too. How about you? What brought you to San Fran?

@herself that is one of my fave places on the planet! And a happy place in my mind and heart. As for the travels to SF it was all about a man darling and best told over wine. *smile. Whats the book about? Sahaming? not sure what that meant?

@Jax @miraz Another Wellingtonian here! Welcome aboard.

@Jax Welcome! It’s great to have more Antipodeans here on Micro.blog. I’m from Wollongong in Australia and the New Zealanders whom I’ve met here have offered only excellent conversation.

@Jax @martinfeld greetings from an antipodean currently living in the anti-antipodes. ask me anything :)

@johannesk Hi there! Why do you say anti-antipodes? 🙂

@martinfeld i didn't know what else to call the opposite side of the world to the antipodes 😄

@johannesk Haha I though that might have been it but I wanted to check in case I missed something else mysterious...

@Jax the best sort of story then ;)) SAHM = stay at home “mahm” (in your best American accent, like you would if you were saying “soccer mom”...at least that’s how I hear it in my head!) The book is about a seventy year old necromancer who is finding herself.

@johannesk Gidday! Where are you?

@martinfeld Awesome! ice to meet you here! I will try and honour the excellent conversation standards... though without coffee or with wine - it may slip :)

@yorrike KiaOra! Thank you

@Jax hey. i am in holland. where are you?

@johannesk SF USA

@Jax awesome. living working or visiting?

@Jax Haha we are forgiving here.

@johannesk living and working!! And having fun while doing it!

@martinfeld thank goodness for that! Lol
