Cool Christchurch

Despite all my travels around this little blue-green planet, I have to confess that I’ve never been to the South Island of New Zealand.

Saying goodbye to my 30′s
Well…my 40th birthday is not too far away now.
I have to say I’m a little ambivalent about it all; On one hand I’m aware of passing another of life’s milestones and that naturally gives me pause for thought. On the other hand, the first 4 years of the new millennium were (for me at least) largely crap and I’m not sorry to see the back of them.

Rave: Live Jive 2006

Just been along to Kev and Carrie’s annual BBQ. As always it was superb!
A full account is now on the Bandanna Club website, including a photo gallery.

Life-changing moments
It’s been an eventful week here…a week that has seen an emotional rollar-coaster ride of worry and relief, of sleepless nights and stress for all of us…
It’s all been related to a nasty health scare that one of our number found themselves subjected to…put simply, the words of a certain Mr. McGraw:-
“I spent most of the next days, looking at the x-rays, talking ’bout the options and talking ’bout sweet time.”
…were certainly ringing in my ears.

Thinking about Going Ape
A mate of ours has just booked us on what sounds like a bit of a larf…a place called “Going Ape” in the nearby Moors Valley park.
The Moors Valley website describes it as:
“an extreme high wire forest adventure, not for the faint hearted. Strapped into a harness, participants traverse from tree to tree just below the canopy and negotiate rope bridges, scramble nets, tarzan swings and zip slides. Go Ape! and enjoy 2+hours of adrenaline-fuelled fun, laughter and adventure.”
Well, I sure as hell could use the exercise and it looks like fun…watch this space.
