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.

The Indoor Cricket travesties continue. We had a game on Sunday night against a team whose members included a woman, and a child.
Did we still lose? Mais oui!
Attempting to look on the bright side, Michael and I had the biggest partnership for our team! (40) And i even contributed a positive amount to it!! (15). Sadly my bowling was as hapless as ever, and played a key part in narrowly averting a possible victory in the last over.
With any luck i'll be experimenting with another new sport next week - skiiing / snowboarding! Not decided which to try yet - is the potential for injury significantly better in one or the other?
It's been snowing it's arse off all over the mountains for the last few days, so snow levels aren't an issue. Fellow novices Jo & Michael will hopefully be accompanying me to Mount Hutt next Tuesday (There'll be less people to point and laugh at us on a weekday), as well as the higly experienced Wee Al - he's skiied in his native Scotland(tee + hee :op), and claims he can do parallel turns. Hence he'll be forced to give out free lessons to us all day.
