Flying as in on a plane from Perth to Christchurch, flying as in a rental car (Nissan Tiida) down and around the bends of South Island state highways, flying as in on a Thunder Jet Boat on the lake in Queenstown, flying as in off a ledge off the Kawarau Suspension Bridge at the original …
E is for Educating Colt
Colt is now 16 months old and will turn 17 months just before we get back from New Zealand. He's been measured at 51cm at withers (20.5 inches) so is well into the middle of the 500 class. He can go over jumps (note to self - work on collection and turns), do tunnels, take …
D is for Dog Doctors
My first blog post of the year is going to concern a recent experience of visiting the vets with my 9 year old Border Collie Cypher. Cypher has been sneezing a bit more than usual lately and although not outwardly distressed at all by it I figured why not go and get a full and …

C is for Cypher

Week 1 done…
Savvy and Spryte on our walk last weekend. This was in the briefest of moments whilst it wasn't raining. I don't remember Perth winters being so....wintry. Cold yes....windy yes - all this rain? Not so much. I get told we need the rain so I try not to whine too much but it is with …
Day 3 of 12 Week Challenge
Had a PT session today with my trainer. The first time since early May. Probably close to exactly 3 months off. There was no easing me back in it seems. Three rounds of Kettleball Squats, Kettleball Swings, Assisted Chin Ups and V Line sit ups. My arms are going to punish me tomorrow. My thighs …
12 Week Challenge
The 12 Week Kick up the Arse CHALLENGE is upon me. Since the long trip to the USA and Canada last year there is no point in denying the weight has slowly been creeping back on. It feels fast but in retrospect it's been blatantly obvious that the 23 kilos I dropped in the last …
