Roller Skating

I thought that I should probably get out on my skates as much as possible now that they have been delivered to me and because I want to get my moneys worth. So I decided that i’d run my errands today on skates. I managed the stairs all by myself and got out of theContinueContinue reading “Roller Skating”

In quad we trust

My skates arrived! The lovely Kate delivered them to me at work and I unpacked them in the office with a massive smile on my face, quickly inserting the laces and putting them on. I continued to wear them for the rest of the day under my desk…I think my work colleagues think i’m aContinueContinue reading “In quad we trust”

Mt. Victoria Lookout

Today I ventured out to the Mount Victoria lookout point. It has taken far too long to get around to walking to the top, but today was EPIC! I walked to the lookout and on the way back home I got chips and ate them on the waterfront!

…earth moving news…

As it turns out the Earthquakes did not stop Sunday morning…oh no they continued to rock New Zealand for a good long while. We have been having short rumbles since Friday morning and they don’t seem to be easing off at all! In the last week Wellington has had 55 Earthquakes that have rated higherContinueContinue reading “…earth moving news…”

I felt the earth move under my feet…

There is some crazy Seismic Activity going down on the Cook Strait this morning. Wellington has had more Earthquakes… I was woken this morning to my little room rocking around me and was quick to get under the table. I must have looked hilarious…the table is tiny so it’s not really going to do much. TheContinueContinue reading “I felt the earth move under my feet…”

Weta Workshop

Today I went to the WETA Cave in Miramar, Wellington and it was fabulous. It was great fun to step inside the walls of an actual movie workshop, even more exiting to note that this is the Multi Academy Award winning company that created The ‘Lord of the Rings’ Trilogy and ‘District 9’…and yes I did see actual,ContinueContinue reading “Weta Workshop”

I think I feel an earthquake up in here…

At 9.06 am this morning, whilst sat at my desk listening to my iPod and getting on with work, my office shook for a good 30 seconds! Everyone in the office looked as shocked as I felt and we all agreed that it was in fact rather scary. We were at the point where weContinueContinue reading “I think I feel an earthquake up in here…”

Roller Derby

A big game for everyone, Richter City All Stars vs Victorian Roller Derby Queen Bees did not disappoint. Most people that I spoke to were of the opinion that we would probably lose…and we did…but that doesn’t matter. Most of the bout was fairly even in the sense that we were giving our all, but itContinueContinue reading “Roller Derby”

Down and Derby

Tonight was the second Richter City league match of the Derby season: Brutal Pageant vs Smash Malice. One of the things that I really like about Roller Derby is the names that each skater has…some of my favourite from the game tonight: Bethwish, Danger Spouse, Professor McGonnaKill, Blocktimus Prime, Scary Maclary, Geal Force, Storm in a BContinueContinue reading “Down and Derby”

Talk Derby to Me!

Moving to Wellington has been exciting and different to say the least, so when I discovered that there was a Roller Derby League within the city, I was amazingly eager to join in on the fun. I went along to the ‘Freshmeat and Greet’ and had a bit of a skate around and a chatContinueContinue reading “Talk Derby to Me!”
