Left Timona park early Saturday morning on route to the Palmerston Airport to pick up Heather. On route we called into RD1 for socks, then Mitre 10 for a generator and finally Pak and Save for meat for the dogs. All completed prior to 12:30 – To the dog park […]

We moved on from Rangiwahia early yesterday morning. We would recommend the park it was so quiet and in the middle of a nestled farming community. Rose however did want to use the new hot/cold outdoor shower prior to leaving and so found the largest and smelliest chook poo  to […]

After a reasonable restful night we took the dogs for a walk along the lake’s boardwalk behind the local golf course. Although the weather was a game of two halves – sometimes the sun shone and at other times it was wet and blustery we were dressed for the conditions. […]

On the road again after a rather exhilarating trip to Hong Kong for the 7’s but did arrive home needing a blood transfusion and a brain and liver transplant (we have not put it down to the drink or the excessive food or lack of sleep but just our young […]

Sunday morning, the dogs are walked and am contemplating the day before departure. Wade came up from Auckland to join us for the day and stayed until after tea. We had an interesting day with a morning of surf-casting (without success) and ended with a great swim in the quarry. […]

The Dogonit website was hacked and the database literally deleted. I left the FTP port open (for the those that are curious). But we had it covered with a back up of the site and the database. The only issue was that the backup was a weekly backup so we […]

The weekend in Leigh went well – (just a peek into our future) – The repairs to Dogonit were all good and made the trip even more enjoyable. Mac and Rose seemed tired when we got home – The travel seems to take it out of them more than us. Not […]

What a great day!! We woke and decided to walk the dogs together to work off the AMAZING fish and chips [and the chocolate] we ate the night before!! We walked down to the wharf – watching those intrepid fisherman about to embark on a day’s fishing. Obviously our pathfinder […]

All good got the new AV/NAV system installed and home by 13:00 or 1:00 pm for the fly boys reading this post. Picked up Donna and the two terrors and did a quick mercy dash to the whole sales for some sanity juice. Arrived at Liegh at 15:30 or just […]
