Litter Confirmed
Today we took Spryte to see Dr Louisa Burgess for an ultrasound. I estimated her to be at around 6 weeks. Louisa confirmed that she is definitely pregnant and we spotted a pup in each horn. Louisa said there would likely be more but because of their size they could be concealed. If I'd like …
M is for Making a Change
Around October last year I caught this linking (somehow I don't know where) to a segment on the ABC Show Catalyst about the real dietary villians. Here's the link: Catalyst: Heart of the Matter Part 1 - Dietary Villains - ABC TV Science. After watching this and reading up on it I started looking into …
L is for Last Days
Today was our last day in New Zealand – for the time being. The second trip, whenever that is, is already looking like a full itinerary. Aoteraroa is the original name of this land and it’s where the phrase Land of the Long White Cloud comes from. I’ve liked how bilingual many things are in …
K is for Kindness
Ellen always ends her shows with one last entreaty to her audience, both studio and worldwide. Be kind to one another. I’ve always liked Ellen…she comes across as an honest, savvy, forthright, sassy and intelligent human being. Not to mention she can be pretty funny. Lots of people who have the world’s ear, in some …

At …
I is for Impressive
The last couple of days have seen us cover around a thousand kilometers and we’ve watched as the little Nissan Tiida we’ve rented has ticked over into the 100 thousand k mark on the odometer. We’ve travelled from Queenstown through to a Te Anau hotel as our base whilst we drove out to Milford and …
H is for Heart-Stopping
Today will be one of those days that will remain in my frontal lobe for the rest of my life, certainly a powerful emotional memory was formed when I jumped off a bridge 43 meters up at the original AJ Hackett Bungy at Kawarau Bridge. This place has been going over 25 years now and …
G is for Guides
Guides who are proper Kiwi boys. Today was fairly busy. It was good night's sleep (clearly still trying to redress the missing night of sleep) and up early to meet our guide outside the hotel for a pick up to take us on a half day hike. Our guide's name was Carl and I would …
