  • Rafting down the Hawea river

    Melissa, myself and Ashley went rafting down the Hawea river on an airbed. Lots of fun had by all as we negotiated the mighty rapids of the Hawea.

    The song “Rafting on the Interislander” is now permanently etched in my mind 🙂

  • Norwegian story

    I need to write a story about the following picture for my Norwegian class. Any ideas on what the story should be about? Something humorous would be best 🙂

  • Mount Cook

    I had a few hours spare before meeting up with Melissa in Oamaru, so headed north to Mount Cook for the afternoon. Unfortunately the weather started to pack in badly as I arrived.

  • Penguins in Oamaru

    Melissa and I went to see some Baby Blue penguins at the Oamaru colony. Unfortunately it was nearly impossible to get a good photo due to the crappy lighting but below is the best I managed.

    In the absence of good photos, we drew some penguins instead 🙂

  • Conference in Transylvania

    An email I sent to the lovely Corina from Romania.

    Hallo,
    Jeg skal til konferanse i Cluj i Romania. Jeg har venner fra Cluj. De er ekspert på WordPress programvare for websider.

    Hvor kommer du fra? Kansje er du fra nær Cluj?

    Jeg vil spise mye mat i Transylvania 🙂 Jeg elsker Romansk mat! Jeg også liker Romansk øl og jenter 🙂

  • Ski purchase

    I bought my first pair of skis this evening. I’ve never tried cross-country skiing before, so hopefully I don’t kill myself in the process of using them.

  • WordCamp Norway

    WordCamp Norway happened last weekend. Lots of cool people, lots of cool conversations and great to finally meet some awesome people in the real world who I’ve known in the online world for a long time.
