In here though, a couple of awesome sky shots while I was in the top of the South for work, and I was invited on a fun kayaking mission in Lytelton Harbor in Christchurch.  We paddled out to Quail Island for lunch and a walk.

It was an interesting month, lot of interesting things, people and activities.  Made new friends and went camping with old ones.

Some healthy stuff, with food, and I smacked my shin while practicing Parkour.

The highlight of the month though, was the snowboard trip for 4 nights around Castle Hill. The club fields around this area are awesome, Porters Heights, Broken River, Craigieburn and Mt Cheesman.

Good Times

Intention Rice is a fun experiment that I learnt from watching a video about Dr. Emoto on water.  It works on the the theory that we project our energy, and that we project different kinds of energy that have different effects.  For example, I cooked up 1 pot of rice and split it into 3 jars.

I then placed those 3 jars on a piece of paper each on the same table and each with a label.  The paper and labels read, “Love”, blank and “Hate”.  Every day when I woke, and went to bed, I did the following with each jar.

The Love jar, I said, “I love you”, and sat and projected loving thoughts on to the jar.

I ignored the jar with the blank label.

And the Hate jar, I said, “I hate you”, and sat and projected hateful thoughts on to the jar.

As time went on the contents of each jar changed.  It took about 6 weeks to have a real obvious difference, but it was worth it.  The best sign that things were different was the smell.  The love jar had a sweet smell, the blank jar that I neglected was not as pleasant, and the hate jar made you kick your head back, it smelt that bad.

This was a great experiment to show that we really do need to be concious about the thoughts we have.  I plan on doing it again as it was lots of fun.

Dead good time on the beach

December covered road trips, climbing, swimming, surfing, biking, tramping, caving, birthdays and maybe some other stuff.  I did this all over the place, Christchurch, Nelson, West Coast, Golden Bay.  And I did it with amazing people.

Good Times!

No gang signs please

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.

A new day, a new album

=-)

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.
