Conference Shenanigans

A NZ Police car that has Rainbow lettering and a rainbow around the bottom panels. Antnz and Raven can just be seen behind the car.

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 […]

September Stumbled Along…

A picture of ADNZ Raven lying with her feet in front of her head lower, mid frame. To the left lies a stuff green hippo. Between her feet is a brown Nylabone, to the right of her feet are a tennis ball and the body of a stuffed pink flamingo, with Raven resting her head on the flamingo looking at camera. To the right of Raven is the neck and head of the flamingo and her stuffed Llama. A rope toy can also be seen in the background.

This year we started September in Level 4 Covid19 lockdown, which means keep your butt at home unless you are going out for essential items, medical treatment or for a short period of activities in the area local (walking distance) to your home. No “fast food”, no going to the gym, no gatherings, online school, […]

Mid-Year months of Madness!

A picture of a tui sitting in fuchsia tree. The tui is looking straight down the lens. The background is grayscale.

June kicked off with a hiss and a roar! I kicked the month off with another “Intro to Enabling Good Lives (EGL)” down in Wellington with Imagine Better for District Health Board (DHB) staff. We had a good cross-section of Children’s Hospital staff; including, OTs, physios, nurses, and a paediatrician. We also had a handful […]

May as well make the most of it?!?!?

A pink sun rise lights the sky, with the brightest part of the sunrise in the middle of the frame near the bottom. The left and right are framed by silhouetted trees

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 […]

April’s Atiwhakatu Adventure

A night panorama of the milky way, trees frame either side and a tree is silhouetted just slightly left of the midline.

April began with me trying to get the footage I had taken at Alice Nash edited (I’m still trying!), some meetings and preparing to take 3 friends out to Alice Nash for an overnighter. Then I realized that the deer hunting season had kicked off, that there was a lot of talk of father/son hunting […]

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!

A picture taken at night of a campfire. The campground is in the foreground center of the picture. Natt and Peter sit to the left of the fire, to the right of the fire you can see a torch. In the the background are the lights at the hut.

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 […]
