Day 6: Rain, rain go away
Day 6: Rain, rain go away Wanaka, New Zealand Wanaka, New Zealand Today was a long long day. The rain that had started late yesterday afternoon was showing no signs of letting up, and we were glad we’d been able to do the helicopter ride yesterday instead of waiting...

Tassievore Eat Local – Weeks 3 and 4
The Tassievore Week 3 challenge was to support a business that uses local produce. I didn’t explore this as much as I’d have liked to over the week, mainly because I was focused on walking as much as I could for the Walk In Her Shoes challenge. Even...

Thursday was a pretty normal work day for me. Farewell morning tea for a colleague, who I’ve worked with on and off for almost 10 years. Lots of coffee. Walk at lunch time. It got to 20 degrees in the city, so it wasn’t too bad at all. I...

week in review – 1-4 January 2015
I haven’t done a blog post for a while. I completely forgot about 12 of 12 for December, and I don’t think 2 of 12 would have been very interesting. At least it would have been a mercifully short post. When I first started the blog in 2011, it...
