For ages now I have thought that a lot of the people around me are particularly mumbly people. And by this I mean that they mumble a lot and I can’t decipher what they’re saying. I’m constantly saying to people that they’re mumbling or that they need to face me if they’re going to talk to me,ContinueContinue reading “Hearing tests”

Hiking Mt. Holdsworth
Since coming to New Zealand I have really only completed one hike: The Tongariro Crossing in Tongariro National Park. I’ve been walking around Wellington, Snowboarding, Surfing, Paddle Boarding, Skydiving, Mountain Biking and Roller Skating, but not really completed any real hiking. I thought that this needed to be changed, so when James and his housemateContinueContinue reading “Hiking Mt. Holdsworth”
GirlGuide Camp: Titahi Bay
As part of being a New Zealand Girl Guide leader, we are supposed to take them camping regularly, both inside (camping on roll mats in a hall or hut and cooking in an actual kitchen) and outside (camping in tents and cooking outside). This year one of the other leaders, Meghan, decided to complete herContinueContinue reading “GirlGuide Camp: Titahi Bay”
Rock & Roll Weekender
When James and I first met, he mentioned that he was going to a few gigs down in Christchurch and Dunedin (Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath). I said that it sounded very cool and he asked if I wanted to come along too (I think he thought I was more into heavy metal than I am). Obviously IContinueContinue reading “Rock & Roll Weekender”
Easter Weekend
As we have a lovely long weekend here for Easter, James and I thought we’d get out and actually do something or some things. Get out of the house and be active… Good Friday After having a long lay in we decided to take a drive out past Wainuiomata and see what we could findContinueContinue reading “Easter Weekend”
#HallsOnTour
I’m not sure theres a person alive who didn’t know about my parents upcoming trip to New Zealand. I certainly told anyone that would listen! We’ve been apart for 504 days (I put the dates into a nifty internet calculator and it told me the amount of days between the two dates) and sometimes itContinueContinue reading “#HallsOnTour”
Round the Bays 2016
As is now tradition, I ran the Round the Bays race 🙂 This year I completed the 10km race and I feel somewhat improved since last year (2014 I attempted the 1/2 marathon and failed…2015 I attempted the 10km)! Last year I ran and walked, like a sort of stop-go interval training thing, the whole way,ContinueContinue reading “Round the Bays 2016”
My 30th Birthday
My 30th Birthday started a little early (on the 22nd), when my office threw me a little morning tea party 🙂 I had absolutely no idea and I was a little shocked to say the least! It was really lovely, loads of cake and sandwiches and drink. On the Friday (23rd) Charlotte, Kirsten and myself wentContinueContinue reading “My 30th Birthday”
Snowboarding
This weekend we hired a Rav4 and went up the mountain 🙂 Friday We left on Friday in the hired Rav4 (it was lovely and new and an automatic) and the journey didn’t seem to take very long. I have a sneaky feeling it was because I was actually driving to the speed limit, rather than 20kmContinueContinue reading “Snowboarding”
Gym facts no-one tells you
I thought that i had a pretty good grasp on the whole gym experience; i’ve joined many gyms over the years and I feel like I shouldn’t be surprised that I am only just learning the following: It’s not just about actually going to the gym: I first signed up to get fitter. End of story. IContinueContinue reading “Gym facts no-one tells you”
