Post holiday in the sun

The fresh start.

I have decided to re-instigate the blog since being on holiday. I thought it would be a good thing to again keep some record of life’s activities. I addition I though it best to take control and actually pay real money rather than using a site that is ‘free”. As the saying goes; “if your not paying, then you are the product”. I had already changed from Blogger and the world of Google to WordPress.com. Not the whole way with a real domain name and site hosting.

When on holiday I tried to demonstrate that I am not ancient and could still live on the edge(?!) and so had a paragliding trip. Views over Lake Hawea after jumping off a hill. The time in the ir was about 15 minutes and great fun. No fear just the exhilaration of speed, noise and views.

Maybe more in the future.

Slow movements towards holiday

Not much happening as the countdown to holiday continues. Three more working days until the car is off for a trip to the camping grounds of the Bay of Plenty, with an engagement party on the way, with us camping in the host’s garden, along with a few others.
Roll on sunshine, sea, sand, surf and sailing. Kids excited by the prospect of life under”canvas”. Same for me with prospect of fishing, though I never have before. I am sure some nice Kiwi man on the beach will show us how to add practical knowledge to our theoretical knowldge on surfcasting for out tea. We are proud rod owners.
The kite will come out, or is it the three kites, so that we have enough bits to put one up in the air. Time to practice those loop manoeuvres.
No doubt I will also become “MG” the BBQ king!
Happy dreaming
