Stairway to heaven

We went to church this afternoon. Spent two rather uncomfortable but rewarding hours on the pews of St Michaels Catholic church in Remuera.

Kristin Graduation Dinner

November 26, 2011:

Here we are in the Pulman Hotel ballroom, waiting for dinner to be served. I’m starving, might have to eat my third bread roll.

Long Bay development

November 24, 2011:

I went down to the beach for a run this afternoon, and stopped for a look at the new sub-division. The developers have obviously spent a lot of money on planting up the stormwater ponds.

Power to the people

November 17, 2011:

On my run this afternoon I passed through the old Clemows orchard, down near Rosedale Rd. On the public reserve between the houses and the creek, there are dozens of old apple trees, where those in the know can get free fruit in season.

Deer at Connifer Grove office

November 8, 2011:

I surprised two wild deer as I arrived at the Connifer Grove picnic area in Woodhill Forest this morning. Bikes travel fairly quietly, so I was only a hundred metres or so away before they bounded off. A normal height wire fence didn’t even slow them down!
