Blog Holiday

Friday, May 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pm

From around 3 pm I’m going to be on Great Barrier Island for a holiday, until Monday evening.

The bungalow we are staying at has no phone, no cellphone coverage and only solar power electricity which may not even support a laptop. There is no central electricity supply on the island – it is pretty much all solar and/or generator – no streets lights etc.

So in all probablity no new blog posts until late Monday – a good excuse for everyone to enjoy the long weekend. My plans involve thermal pools, fishing, bush walks and maybe some diving. Oh yes possibly a small amount of 42 below to keep warm :-)

While I will be on holiday, the blog won’t be totally idle. I have done the odd time delayed post which will appear over the next few days.

And tonight mussels

Sunday, March 9th, 2008 at 5:47 pm

The snapper made a good lunch, so this afternoon we went swimming and hunting for mussels and pipis. Another gorgeous day up north – as much as I love Wellington one thing you can’t do there is actually go into the water.

Have taken a few great photos but forgot the cord to transfer them so can’t blog them until I am home on Tuesday.

DPF on Holiday

Saturday, March 8th, 2008 at 6:51 am

I’m taking a small three day holiday with friends.  Not sure what the Internet connectivity will be like where I will be, but suspect I’ll still blog a bit, but probably less than normal until Tuesday.
