My Best Friend
To my true friend - and you know who you are - thank you for everything. You mean the world to me. Friendship is when your friend knows everything about you. They trust you. You trust them. They are there for you through the bad times and the good times. They never judge you. You can talk to them about… Read more
Sleep Deprivation (or why I can't shift the flab!)
Are you tired all the time? Do you nod off during the day? Find it hard to concentrate? You may be suffering from sleep deprivation - which is not to be confused with insomnia. According to the experts, sleep deprivation is a sleep disorder characterized by having too little sleep and it can be either… Read more
Love Yourself
Do you know who you are? Do you know what you want out of life? What motivates you? What do you love? What makes you laugh or cry? What makes your soul sing with joy? What you look like doesn't really matter - it doesn't make you who you are. People that think how you look is important are shallow.… Read more
I want one of these!
An Australian family is turning heads with a rotating house that can guarantee a different view every time they wake up. The Everinghams have been in a spin since they moved into their dream home in the countryside north of Sydney three years ago. They can turn the house to follow the sun without… Read more
One year ago.
One year ago my Dad passed away, at 11.47pm on the 23rd of September 2008. It is hard to realise that a whole year has passed since I last saw him, heard his voice.it still seems a bit unreal. I think about him every day and I miss him so much. It has been a very hard year. In fact the past 18 months… Read more
We still miss you
Those we love don't go away - they walk beside us every day Terence Anzac Piper … Read more
This Way of Life
"What do I do for a living? I live for a living" - Peter Karena. This is a must-see movie. Directed by Tom Burstyn and shot over a 4 year period, this movie/doco is just simply uplifting. It's that rare sort of film that draws you in and makes you leave the theatre just feeling really good… Read more
All in my Head
I have a fairly wide range of music I like to listen to but isn't it just SO annoying when a particular song, for no apparent reason, just pops into your head and there it sits, playing over and over and over again! It just won't go away. You find yourself singing it, humming it, tapping your feet or… Read more
World Famous in Upper Hutt!
Well Dad, you're now world-famous in Upper Hutt! I mentioned your website on Twitter and the Upper Hutt City Library saw it and you are now linked from their Community Database at www.upperhuttcity.com/page/767/RelatedWebsites.boss. It is nice to think that as you grew up in and around Upper Hutt and… Read more
Moving Day
Well Dad, only one more day until I move house. Wish you were here to see it, you would like it. Whenever I moved, Mum and Dad would always be there to lend a hand and I appreciated it so much. In my current place, Dad was concerned about security, so he put a chain on the door into the garage - it… Read more
Think about your life
Sometimes thinking about your life and sorting out what you have learned so far is just as important as tackling a new venture. Being an adult can be fun when you're acting like a kid. Love has everything to do with time, trust, and interest and nothing to do with looks. Laughing, crying, joy and anger… Read more
They're still here.
Pouring with rain today. You'd think that would make the seagulls go away. But no. They're still on the roof. Stomping. With their hobnail boots on. This may drive me over the edge. Where's Jonathan Livingston Seagull when you need him?! … Read more
Wrap your laughing gear around this mate!
According to some misguided people, New Zealanders talk funny. No way mate, nothing wrong with the way we talk here in Godzone (or Middle Earth to those of you who are LOTR fans). New Zealanders are known around the world as “Kiwis”, and apparently some of you lot have a bit of trouble with the Kiwi… Read more
Feelings
To those of you that are feeling pain, I feel with you, for I have known pain. To those of you that are feeling joyful, I feel with you, for I too have known joy. To those of you that are feeling sad, I feel with you, for I have known much sorrow. To those of you that are feeling love…. I envy you… Read more
Avatar
I have seen the future of film and it is Avatar! It is, without a doubt, totally unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Underneath its staggeringly beautiful scenery and stunning visual effects though, Avatar is a socially conscious movie and shows the human race in a not-so-wonderful light. We see… Read more
Sometimes.
Sometimes things are just harder than usual. I wish that life could be simple and easy. No stress. It's all been so stressful for the past few years, I just want to slip away to a private tropical island, no-one there except friends and family, and just relax. No money worries, no job worries, just… Read more
A Good Man
My father was a good man. He was always there when you needed him, whether it was to offer advice or practical help. He knew lots of things. He was a good family man. He loved his children and adored my mother. Every day he would get up and bring her a cup of tea in bed. He knew about cars. He loved… Read more
Shine
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.… Read more
Life Lessons
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like… Read more
Be Thankful
Be thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations… Read more
Seagulls
Seagulls. Hmmm, I hear you say. What on earth can you have to say about seagulls? Well I just saw an amazingly beautiful sight and it involved seagulls. Really. I'm sitting on my back porch, enjoying a late night coffee (decaf of course), and gazing at the night sky. I often do this. It's very peaceful… Read more
Endangered
They shot our birds! Five Norwegian men came to New Zealand on a hunting trip. I've never really understood why men enjoy killing defenceless animals - a bit sick really in this supposedly enlightened age. But anyway, that's not what I want to talk about. What makes me mad is that they killed some of… Read more

The Beautiful City of Upper Hutt (a shameless promotion)
My Dad lived most of his life in Upper Hutt long before it became a city (which was in 2 May 1966 - 2 days before my parents' 9th wedding anniversary). He loved living here, built our family home in Mangaroa Hill Road, where he and Mum lived for 48 years before they "downsized". He never wanted… Read more
