On the 7th and 8th of March 2009 the Cancer Society held the Relay for Life in sunny Napier.
Just over a week prior, volunteer Fire Fighters from Napier station were told about it, and rapidly set to work fund raising and getting ready to participate. The weekend of the Mission Concert (weekend before the relay) was spent avoiding the rain on Saturday and seeking the shade on Sunday to do a sausage sizzle which went better than expected.

Yeah yeah yeah. I’m a lazy git and I know it. =P
Ok, now let me think, what’s happened over the past … (checks) … 3 months (wow it even feels like it’s been longer than that). Well, let’s look at the key points I guess.
Oh, but before I do, I have to say I think the arsonists that lit fires in Victoria (Australia) should be summarily shot. It’s mass murder on a grand scale and shows a severe lack of respect for anyone and anything. In fact, lets make arson a capital offence all round. Even the idiots here in NZ who set alight buildings that were part of the Whakapapa ski fields on Mt Ruapehu. F**king dropkicks, the lot of them.
Ok, and rant and on with the rest of it…
Well, it’s a beautiful Sunday here, nearing the end of September and just put the clocks forward an hour for daylight savings.
It’s been a chilly winter but I’m sure that the impending muggyness will make me wish it was sub-zero again!
Work has been busy as hell but I’m planning to make sure I take some time off over the summer to go tramping/camping etc provided I can find a suitable victim to accompany me! Also plan to get back into rock climbing and work off the winter insulation that has built up around my mid section. =P
In 18 days I go under the needle and get branded. The currently planned design is…
It’s Kanji, and says (or so I’ve been assured it says) “Man | Firefighter | Protector”. The plan is to have it down the left side of my back. I’ll post pic’s when it’s done, and I’m sure there will be a few from while it’s getting done too.
Other than that, life has been more work than anything. Making some new friends and getting to chat to some new and interesting people.
Spent a little while this morning playing with the camera and will do some more this arvo once I finish hooking the laptop up so I can try some more interesting stuff. This morning resulted in a few pics along the lines of…
Not all that great, and needs some colour correction but the concept has merit. It’s just taken with my Nikon sitting on the tripod down low.
Anyway, I really have nothing interesting to say so time for another coffee me thinks.
Ciao!
