A happy-go-lucky English rambler dude goes to New Zealand for a year. Here he interfaces with some of those he left behind and details his nefarious activities. Or summat.

Settling back into life in Christchurch. I've managed to get my old job back, so i'll be able to start buying loads of CD's again soon. Sorry, what did i say? I meant pay off my speeding ticket, of course.
Some old mates from the 'Church are coming back into town this weekend, Susie (Of Echobelly ligger fame) and 'Shel (Of illegal pub work in London fame). Should be nice.
Other than that all is quiet on the southern front. Oh I have been meaning to reccommend reading anything by Lester Bangs for a while. I'd been carrying 'Psychic Reactions and Carburetor dung' around for a few months before starting to read it the other week. Joy! I've never read anything quite as, 'dense' ? before. He tends to digress even more than Ronnie Corbett on speed, which actually turns out to be a good thing, honest. Although the bad point is that i now want to go and buy the records he's writing about, GRR! (Though maybe not James Taylor. And Starship.)
Oh, and I got 9 films(!) back from the Photography shop (How excited was i that morning! Oh, and they will be appearing on the credit card bill too Mum :oD Thanks again). They're mainly from my North Island travels - Nuff Volcanos inaddee area - and after i've sifted through & been arsed to scan them all, they'll be appearing here as per. Unless a major letter writing campaign is started urging me not to, or sanctions are threatened against NZ, or something :o(
