Naps with The Doctor

We met, I fell in love, I don't think he gives a damn but he's sweet and knows how to play me, what can I do, I'm a sucker for enthusiastic bouncin' sweet boys who want my attention, and I can give it so easily its just a pleasure and all worries disappear. Eddie is my only love, for the moment.


Eddie and Me, he has me in the palm (?) of his paw, ah :)




Oh look, the same top, the same shorts.. how odd.. but at least a new and gorgeous backdrop. We took our burgers, running up that hill, above Hastings one evening; absolutely beautiful. I need some more adjectives, I'm getting a bit too predictable with them, aye??






Just back, well, the other week, from a fun filled five freewheelin days over in Napier & Hastings (and Havelock) with Justin, and Jacks came for a few days too :)
We also started a sailing course which was so much fun I was grinning like the Underland Cat...




Eh, he looks all dark and moody aye, but don't be worryin, he's really quite cheery and blond, but don't tell him, he likes to think he's a smart cookie but I sure did catch him out on antibiotic usage and the like, oh yes, just don't tell him, he's very sensitive, not like me, no no, I'm never offended, no, how very dare...
and on and on, but its quite amusing, to me... I try. Ooo Antony and the Johnsons have just come on, Kiss My Name, he's got the most gorgeous unusual wonderful voice, wish he would record more...

Kings of Queenstown, hahaha

The colours of Arrowtown hills, Mmmm.

Had a fantastic few days in Queenstown with Dr Timberlakes. Here is his Slopes Debut :)



He has assured me today that actually he was going slow only because he thought I was taking a photo, and so the speed was on purpose to give good photo! Oh, right, I should Cocoa!

Devonport ferrying about

Finally popped over to Devonport on the ferry from Auckland wharf and caught up with Rebecca (the shell 90's possy, is that how you spell that?), its only been 15 years or something ridiculous, oops. I seem to be doing alot of catching ups like that recently, very nice.
Dr Beardsley was there for any medical emergencies :)



posted from Tokyo, asakuna, woohoo, but i'm not feeling like whatsit in that hotel room with slippers, you know, what's he called? Had a nice japo style spa on the room though, woohoo.

Cambridge to Hamilton in the kayak woohoo

One stunning waikato morning, a few days ago...

Justin and me at the starting flag. We set off around 7:30am and had a beautiful clear day for the trip, although that meant it was quite chilly too, woohoo!

Our beautiful driving lady for the day was Sally, a world renowned sniffer of horses.


Passing underneath the Cambridge river-crossing bridge. The Waikato was steaming nicely for the first couple of hours and was kind of warm and much clearer than we expected.




Sun makes it way into the river creek to warming us up, mmmm.








Just passed a little waterfall... and Justin takes off! The water looks calm, doesn't it, but it was fast moving with lots of eddies and currents appearing from nowhere... which can be a little alarming :)


This was the route, following the river from Cambridge to the centre of Hamilton, I think thats about 30km by river.



We stopped about 11am for a warmup in the sun, cafe and some lovely buns, or was it a muffin?






And there were loads of ducks, everywhere, very cute.


The duck-shooting season has just started here and I'm starting to think these quacks are pretty smart because all along the river there were loads of mallards and Cambridge lake, it's like there's some stadium concert for ducks, you can hardly see the water for their numbers. I also saw lots of big old brown trout (Tom, is that that likely species?) anywhere the river ran shallow and weedy reedy :)
We got to Hamilton about 12:30 and it all ended too soon, I really like this kayaking malarky.
