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.

"Hi! How ya doin today? Can i help you find anything?". Yes i've been spending too much time in American shops - and now cannot get the shop assistant's Mantra out of my head.
Had a great day yesterday, buying all sorts of silly gubbins on the wonderful Newbury Street, probably the origin for my favourite Boston shop, Newbury Comics, as well as visiting some lovely art galleries like the Isabella Gardner Stewart Museum, where the sometimes dull art is overshadowed by the loveliness of the building itself.
I've also joined the squillions of runners in Boston, and did a brisk half hour lap around two bridges, and along the Charles river & MIT, which was an absolute joy, and has made me feel infinitely better about all the Chimichanga Burritos, Stawberry Dreamsicles, Cherry Pie and Ben & Jerry's Missisippi Mud pie ice cream i wolfed down yesterday. MMMmmmm......burp.
Oh, and i appear to have killed my mobile phone by charging it up on funny foreign voltages, so don't bother texting me or anything like that, until i get it sorted or a new phone :o( Though come to think of it, i've managed quite nicely without the bloody thing this week, so i might just leave it broken.... (Oh, who am i kidding)
