Charlotte’s friend Elliot and his housemate, Pauline, invited us all out to see an amateur dramatics adaptation of ‘Allo ‘Allo tonight. It was really good! We were told to dress up as people from wartime, and we did, going all out and even buying nylons for the occasion. I decided to go as ‘Michelle Dubois’ContinueContinue reading “‘allo ‘allo”

The Colour Run
Today I ran ‘The Colour Run’. It’s publicised as ‘the happiest 5k on the planet’ and I have to agree actually! To begin with we were very white and clean, but by the end I was covered in dyed powder in all different colours 🙂 The race involves running 5k through at least 4 ‘colourContinueContinue reading “The Colour Run”
Shave for a cure
A little while ago I was having a conversation with my mum about what colour I was going to dye my hair next…I said that I wanted to just dye it back to my natural brown and let it grow out, at which point my mum said, “shave it all off. I dare you.” IContinueContinue reading “Shave for a cure”
Mountain Bike Mishaps
Today at Makara Peak I had a slight mishap: I managed to catapult myself from my bike quite dramatically! I’ve been told that I did in fact fly. There are four tracks that I usually take to get to the top of Makara Peak: Koru, Sally Alley, Missing Link and Aratihi. I am well versed inContinueContinue reading “Mountain Bike Mishaps”
New bike gear – Safety first :)
As I passed my Motorcycle Theory test I thought it would be a great idea to buy some motorcycle gear to keep myself safe on the bike. ​ I bought a leather jacket, a pair of bike jeans, a helmet, and a pair of leather gloves. I decided to go with quite expensive items (leather jacket andContinueContinue reading “New bike gear – Safety first :)”
I passed my motorcycle theory test!
Today, quite by accident, I passed my motorcycle theory test! I only went in to book it, but ended up sitting it then and there…and passed. I got to town with the single task of re-booking my Theory task after my last failed attempt. However, when I got to the AA it was rammed withContinueContinue reading “I passed my motorcycle theory test!”
So, I got a perm…
OMG I got a perm!!! I decided a few weeks ago that I would do something drastic with my hair. The perm began with my hair being put in teeny-tiny rollers and then pinned into place, this took about fifty minutes…next was cotton wool around the edges and then the application of the most disgustingContinueContinue reading “So, I got a perm…”
Wellington Slow Reading Club
So Slow Reading is a weird new thing I’ve discovered. Basically it takes a leaf out of school’s all over England and gets people taking part in ‘Silent Reading’. The idea is to schedule time in your day or week to stop and actually read, without distraction… Here is a Guardian article about Slow Reading.ContinueContinue reading “Wellington Slow Reading Club”
Moving forward
A few of the more observant viewers of my blog will be aware that I’ve been less than actively blogging lately. And there is a reason for this. The last few months have been quite chaotic inside my head (and also outside my head) and so I haven’t really been in the right frame of mind toContinueContinue reading “Moving forward”
My new snowboard
So this weekend I bought a Snowboard. It’s EPIC and I love it…I couldn’t wait to use it… Waking on Sunday morning at 5am I was all ready to conquer Turoa (which so far I hadn’t been to), new snowboard in hand…unfortunately I had to go it alone…so off I drove and arrived in Turoa at 10.00ContinueContinue reading “My new snowboard”
