deadly looking snake Hi Nigel,
That snake looks really sinister. probably if I'd been born a texan I'd have different opinion, but wow, not cool.
Good to hear you will be home next month. Sandra and I are heading off to Thailand in two weeks - back 18th dec, so if you are in chch after that we can catch up. Cheers John
Sounds like a book I need to get. I think I will have a look around for a copy of that book, might explain my own feeling of insanity most of the time. I think insanity might be caused by marriage myself. Lokking forward to catching up when you get home.
The Book Hi Geoff,
Hope you are well. No insanity is not caused by marriage. That's a different issue. The book is call " A First-Rate Madness". If it's not in the book stores then you will find it on Fishpond.co.nz.
Regards
Nigel
Hey you! I am glad to read your progress over the last few weeks .... It takes courage to share yourself in the way you have done. You are in my thoughts.
Are you coming home? I would love to catch up.
Hey you too sugar plum. So how was your cruise? Did you spend a large part of your time with no clothes on? Was the cabin nice and small so you didn't have to go hunting to find Bill?
Oh, I'm sooo ful of questions!!!! All up I hope you had a great time and walked off the boat bow legged.
Now where was I? Oh yes, thank you for your kind comments. Yes I'm coming home and will be in CHCH on about the 15th or 16th Dec to pick my best Friend Monty ( Dear God, please make into the beautiful amazing man that my dog believes me to be.) Yes, I would love to catch up with you and hear all about what is happenning in your world.
Planning to go to Australia next year to find a job.
"My dear friend" Nigel that was fantastic. Well done!! So pleased to hear that you have some peace.You sound very positive and excited about the future. It has been a tough couple of years for you. You are a true and kind friend who has been there for me on many of an occasion. Remember you are very special to so many people. Monty misses you and is being spoilt rotten.Hi Mary hope you and your family are happy and healthy.
Lots of Love Penny :-)
Your encouragement is very special. Hey brother, thanks for your encouragement. It means a loy especially when I try to write about what is inside me. I guess the more I write the better it will read. Hope you and your beloved wife are well and you are being blessed in abundance.
Kind Regards
Nigel
Your kind encouraging words Hi Mary, Thank you for your kind comments. I really appreciate your feedback. I have to admit that attempting to write about what goes on inside me is very difficult but I guess the more I do it the better it will read. May God bless yall in abundance and beyond your expectations.
It's so hard to express feeling Nigel. Great Job, you've done it very eloquently. What an amazing time you're having in so many ways. Proud to have followed your journey in all ways.
Bless you - Mary
This is incredible. Nigel,I'm so proud of you.The way you have expressed yourself speaks volumes...Especially to someone who can relate to those dark times we confront ...often unexpected and seemingly for no logical reason.To travel to another country on the other side of the world takes balls...You have to rely heavily on your own decisions and be at peace knowing.. you are who you are and that you are strong in many ways..Stay Safe my friend,cheers,Gunnee.
we love you!!! Hey loved this blogg. You always manage to make me smile. Monty misses you and is turning into a soft indoor dog. Sorry but those big brown eyes and that tail that wags and makes his head touch his bottom (well nearly) is hard to resist. Claudie suggested I told you he had died so we could keep him!!!Bit drastic but at least you know he is well loved. Take care and send us some more corny puns hahaha
EVERYTHING depends on water I totally agree dad! This is something that we don't think about enough! Our food system is broken and needs to change in some way in order to protect what environment we have left and feed our families in the future.
Here in Victoria, Australia the 12 year drought as gone, and has been replaced by 2 years of record breaking rain. Widespread flooding touched down on the salty, dry earth and wiped out many many rural communities.
Its called a wicked problem for a reason. So complex, so many factors and stakeholders. Environment, species, biodiversity, rivers, lakes, streams, fish, birds, economies, businesses, farms, traditions, families, communities and one finite, limited, stressed, unpredictable and precious precious water source.
I would love to see your photos in the next blog!
Much love.

Audio books send me your email address and I will send you some audio books you will need windows media player or itunes like when you rip a cd. You then create a play list and sync to your MP3 player or ipod
Hi So good to get your photos and emails. You are so brave!! I would end up in tears in 2 mins especially if the chopper man was mean to me and then there is the backing!!
Monty dog is great. We will take his kennel round to Gillians when we go away in June so he is warm and dry. Married life is great, no complaints.
Take care
Penny
I used to live in New Zealand until life changed. At 50 years of age I was made redundant from a career that I knew well. My twenty five years as a Commercial Real Estate Specialist was over. So I went home and rennovated the kitchen and totally landscaped the back yard before I joined forces with a couple of my University colleagues and started a new business. What a blast that was, starting from the ground up with everything in front of us. The business took off.
Then one Sunday in August 2008, I went to Church and from out of the blue I crashed big time. I later learnt that I was having... full info
