A few weekends ago I could not stand still on the dance floor. At Wunderbar in Lyttelton local band Ahoribuzz performed an unforgettable show. I'd never heard them before and obviously had no expectations. I was completely blown away! You guys have to listen to this! Good stuff. Video below!

Flying, not writing is on my mind at the moment. Almost three weeks have passed since I wrote a few sentences in SOLO SOARING. I have plenty of news, a bunch of stories and heaps of photos to share. I've bought myself a hippy van, I'm merely one flight from certification as a paragliding pilot and I currently live in my own house in idyllic Lyttelton outside Christchurch. Life is seriously good and I can't stop smiling. In the near future I intend to be more circumstantial on recent and current events. Right now I just want to wish ...
