A Real My Space
New photos in the new album system. The photos are a larger size now which I hope will make them much better to view.
November 2008 was full of fun times, I was busy upgrading the BBQ for the summer with new shelves and tool hooks 
Then a road trip down the East coast to visit friends and surf. Then I ended the month by exploring Christchurch and walking round Godly Head.

Well, the time finally came, my old photo album software finally stopped working with Wordpress. The really good news though, Nextgen-Gallery by Alex Rabe now has all the features I was waiting for. So now I have no excuses I have been moving all of my old photos to the new software, and now just have to start uploading new photos to the system.
I want to increase the size of my images so I need to do a little playing to learn how the new software works with adding new photos, but I’m sure it’s all easy stuff once you know how.
Looking forward to getting back up to-date.

During October there was spring snow to be carved, caves to be explored and birthdays to be celebrated. Lots of fun things have been done.
The snow photos follow on from the last album when we were at Castle Hill.
I also picked up a van, Toyota Hiace with 4×4 hi/lo. Bring on the summer missions! I have already squeezed a couple in Photos coming in the November album.

September was a great month. Lots of fun things to keep me busy. I spent time painting, cleaning and modding the BBQ ready for another summer. Painted up the bat phone. Did a bit of driving and caught some magic shots of a Kaikoura sunrise.
The best part though would have to be the 5 days around Castle Hill in Canterbury where we hit 3 local fields, Mt Cheeseman, Craigieburn Valley and Broken River and snowboarded out hearts out on fresh powder.
It was school holidays but I would have to say you wouldn’t have known. We pretty much had the fields to ourself and we had fresh snow and blue sky days everyday we went up.
Good Times!

August for awesome! I was in Nelson for a break, and the boys were heading up to Rainbow for a day. I jumped on board and we had a super day!
I also posted a video of the day which will allow you to relive the adventure
Saturday mornings at the netball courts are always fun when you have a fresh dusting of snow to look at
A few photos from July, we went to Nelson to visit family that were in town for a special visit. I also watched my sister and brother play netball and rugby while admiring the cold mornings we were having.

Back in June, I must have been busy coding away. Why? Well the only photos I seem to have are when it first snowed for the year in Christchurch.
=-)
Spring and rabbits, well the photos are from May, but never mind, I need to catch up on the photos so I can post the fun things we have been doing the last 6 weeks.

Here is a photo from the end of the BBQ season, just in time for the beginning of the BBQ season.
Photos from April this year are here. I have some catching up to do as photos are starting to flow again.
Just had a great week with the Teece’s snowboarding round Castle Hill. We had 3 awesome days of riding and a spot of caving.

They have been a long time coming but here they are!
March was the end of the summer Good Times! Felix and I did a few last things on the West Coast like Wild Foods. The food is getting more tasty opposed to more wild but we had a good time anyway.
We spent our last few days sleeping on the beach, driving along the beach, and surfing at the beach.
After Felix left I carried on with the surfing around Christchurch, fitting in as much as I could before the weather became colder and I lost my wheels for the winter.
A couple of show photos of Brent’s work of Subaru WRX auto mobile.
And 1 photo of a disappointing live concert of Queens of the Stoneage. Not entirely their fault, someone hired a sound crew hardly worthy of setting up a home entertainment system. They were then followed by Smashing Pumpkins who I would say sounded even worse so I went home early.
Other than that March rocked!
Good Times,
=-)
