Roberston’s vote-grabbing spending cuts perpetuate systems that enable abuse towards disabled people and their families.
I know you were expecting a blog about taking a group of young people up to Whakapapa, but, in the week leading up to the house rising Grant Roberston pulled a stunt, that once again shows that disabled people, 25% of the population are not worth putting the money and effort into. I don’t usually […]
Conference Shenanigans
The end of May rolled around way too quickly. I felt like I finished my 10km in pretty good shape, but my body decided that I had pushed it and picked up a cold. I’d spent a lot of time trialling nutrition, hydration and recovery methods, before, during and after training. My legs and muscles […]
I wouldn’t blame you if you thought I had shut down the blog! I’m still here, just been busier than ideal.
It’s been well over a year since I last posted (Sept 2021), so I wouldn’t blame you if you thought I’d shut down the blog! Despite trying to keep a better work/life balance, that hasn’t quite happened. I had intended to write more; in fact, there are 4 unfinished blogs in my drafts folder. The […]
May as well make the most of it?!?!?
All of a sudden we’re almost halfway through the year, and this month hasn’t exactly gone to plan. In the end, despite a horrific head cold that had me laid out for a week, May hasn’t been too bad; just a little different than anticipated. Once again I remind myself that “life is indeed an […]
And the year is Marching on…
March kicked off with a visit to the local court to see ADNZ Raven’s support crew many of the courthouse staff all chip in towards Raven’s fundraising effort. The place was a bit chaotic due to a change in Covid19 Alert Levels. I don’t think Raven fully appreciates what “Social Distancing” means! Thank you so […]
A quick overnight wander to clear our heads!
Holdsworth Lodge; Tararua Forest Park. 9 & 10 Feb 2021. I have been wanting to get out bush and clear my head for awhile. It was well overdue and thanks to a couple of friends we locked in a date and off we went. A lot of trips would be out of my “range” at […]
Just like that it’s 2021, where did 2020 go??
Wow 2020 was a doozy!
CHAOS seems to be the theme of 2020
Once again it feels like just the other I sat down and got stuck into writing a blog, but in reality it’s been awhile since my last one. For me life had been in this weird space of both carrying on and being on pause. While we in New Zealand have seemingly successfully navigated Levels […]
WOW in the last couple of months the world went a bit wonky!
It seems like yesterday I was writing a tribute to Assistance Dogs NZ (ADNZ) Ben, then next thing I know; the world is looking a whole lot different! ADNZ Raven is here and our entire country is in a state of emergency on “Level 4 Covid 19 Alert”; which is essentially “only leave your house […]
