Its Tuesday

Good little trick that one... When you can’t think of a subject -just use the date. (Got that off Mum – Thanks Mum :)

It’s always relevant because well, that what day it is, and it means you don’t have an empty subject, which is a bit annoying.

Well just today, I spent a few hundred dollars on two tops (!). And they were even on special too...

Guess that’s what happens when you decide you like Icebreaker. Gosh they make damn nice gear though. Apparently it doesn’t pong like synthetics when you sweat in it. I’m really counting on that feature... less washing ;)

Went on an awesome trip over the weekend to Te Maika, which is a little village on a peninsular near Kawhia, which is a little town on the West Coast... Waitomo(ish) direction.

Anyway, you need a boat to get there (no roads). Pretty cool. All thanks to my flattie’s mate, who has a bach there. Stunning spot - 360 views... up the top of the hill – which you have to lug your gear up. Luckily I packed light.

Ah yes, and I will re-attempt some more photos, any day now.

I’d also just like to say, that the XT network... is not my doing :)

Rockmelon flavoured soymilk...

YUM!!

A game of tennis and a swim in your lunchbreak!!

Talk about an awesome way to break up the work day.

The swim was kinda spontaneous though.

I keep meaning to....

post up some photos, but I have been having a very strange issue recently where my internet connection dies whenever I attempt it. Seriously. I think my router is getting old and dodgy.

Most of the good pics end up on Facebook anyway (and yay for tagging), but I suppose putting them here gives me a bit more space to write and reflect... ? when I’m in the mood anyway.

Saw The Hurt Locker last night. WOW! Can’t believe it was directed by a woman. That’s not because I don’t rate women, but more because it’s about a Super elite bomb squad and their adventures in Iraq. Pretty Manly stuff. Anyway - awesome film.

Had a MTB race at Puhoi on Saturday – came 23^rd in a field of 100(ish) for the 40km event - in a time of 2h 50m 30s . I ended up wussing out of the 70km race - I think I could make it, but I have a tendency to nearly kill myself in races so picking the slightly shorter one should decrease the chances of that a bit. As usual, cramp kicked in around 3/4 of the way through. But for me, that’s just part of racing. Good (relatively safe) test of my pain threshold I suppose :P. I can think of much worse.

Anyway, if I was a woman I would have been 3^rd!

Just saying.

I certainly do not want that. Apologies to any women who have been offended by this post – not intended.

Till next time...  :)
