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.

Life's been plodding along in a pleasant if not entirely exciting way lately.
Weekdays consist of :-
Wake up at 9:30am. Have breakfast while listening to the latest CD that Andy has lent me (This morning it was Grant Lee Phillips) or watching the Shortland Street rerun. Potter off to work at 11am. Do work till 6pm. Do emails / surf interweb / burn CD's till 8pm. Go and watch world cup in pub, or highlights at home. Nod off on sofa watching Bottom video rented from Alices.
Luckily weekends are a tad more exciting. Getting out and about up big snowy things - see below, and even doing a bit of jogging! I'd never really done any before, as in the past every time i tried to run my body (Knees and Cardio-vascular system in particular) let me know that it was extremely unhappy about all this high speed bounding around. But last weekend I managed to keep going (Albeit at almost walking pace) for a whole hour, the only worries being slight feelings of nausea, and occasional bouts of stitch.
This weekend brings Jo's house-warming 'do', and hopefully another spot of wintery rambling. I would joing one of the local mountaineering clubs, so i could do a bit of proper wintery climbing, and learn how to use ice axes, crampons etc, but as i've only got another month or so left here *Sniff* it hardly seems worth it. Though i could put back my flights a little bit further perhaps.....
