Its times like these…

The Batch Gus, Lauren, Phebs Ducks in Rotoma lake

R&R Group photo! Group photo with Gus

View from the island Lake shore of Rotoma Sleeping for 9 Lake Rotoma Morning time from the batch

Rotoma; the second annual occurance since the tradition was established. Generally theres a whole lot of eating, drinking, talking and laughing all accomplished in with the considerably relaxed state that Rotoma seems to set upon you.

Great location, Great friends, Great times.



The secret life of others

Life . . . i guess if I were to try squeeze it into another word it could be substituted as ‘Change’.

I had the pleasure of finding some old slides of my mum’s while with her this weekend. In retrospect some of our memories can seem life-times ago from when you were someone else and yet i cant help noticing the similarities in the perceptions mum and I both have around life today. All in all what an awesome find and more importantly what stories behind them! :)



Togs-Togs-Togs-Togs-Togs- UNDIES! UNDIES-UNDIES-UNDIES!

yip, never fails to put a smile on my dial



The crumbs of the cookie

As the saying goes “that’s just the way the cookie crumbles” and generally when it does most are small enough to not bother savouring. Its easy to ‘acknowledge’ small crumbs and then let them be, as they are not substantial enough to eat and we find (more than often) that we are happy to not fuss about trying to claim each one. But when theres a significant crumble in the cookie there is generally a different response. You take action, you cease it and you savour it.



New Zealand, you’re so Beautiful.

This song i remember very distinctly in my childhood, ever since my mum choreographed  an aerobics routine to it for the thursday night areobics sessions in Russell town hall when i was 7 or 8 years of age. But perhaps more recently its come to mind because of the road trip we did together up to Russell before i took off and we sang it at the top of our lungs whilst driving the desert road. 

:) Good song! Goodtimes!
