Andrew finished early at work on Friday so he took the opportunity to have a mate date. The café they choose is one of the newly rebuilt places in the rapidly changing inner city. Andrew works as a professional diver doing underwater welding in New Brighton. “I worked in Singapore, Thailand and Australia, have been back to Christchurch for only five months. I picked up construction training on the way, I am a professional diver originally.” All the plans Andrew has for his weekend is just to watch the rugby and have some beers with his friends.
