Day Five
11:36pm Just got in from having some drinks. Ok, I had 2 butterscotch and bailleys, 2 bourbon and cokes, 1 beer, 2 glasses of water. And that was after 2 beers and 2 cocktails before dinner. I'm surprised I'm still … Read more …
Day Four
My mistake – it's not a seaside town, but it's a riverside town that's close to the sea. Anyway, today was a relaxing day, with us deciding not to go to the Bay of Islands and instead just chill out … Read more …
Day Three
Darnit! I got bitten by another spider last night while I was asleep. Now there's two options that occurred here. It either wasn't a white-tailed spider, because it hasn't come up all horrible with a white pulsating centre (instead it's … Read more …

Happy new year!
Welcome to 2004. It's a pleasure to have your company as we continue our adventure into the future. I still remember in the early eighties when I was reading a comic book called 2000 AD, and wondering how close to … Read more …
Merry Christmas everybody!
Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho! And wouldn’t you know it – I’m working. It’s 12:30am on Christmas Day, and instead of being at home in bed, I’m working from 12:30 – 8am. Sometimes I wonder about my … Read more …
Back to Australia
The latest interesting developments: – I've re-organised my finances so that my debt repayments each month are greatly reduced (eg. I've paid out my credit card and restructured my personal loan). I was pleased that my bank advised me today … Read more …
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
