Piha Tales: A couple of Poems
http://pihatales.blogspot.com/2010/03/couple-of-poems.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. A couple of Poems. This is about riding my bike up to the top of the Piha Hill - I like the rhyming in this! Its a long slow pull. Up the Piha Hill. As this old bike of mine. Travels up the incline. My thigh muscles start to burn. And my tummy is a-churn. As I struggle my way. Up the hill this day. My breath comes quick. And my brow is slick. With sweat thats wet. And I'm not there yet. I will reach the top. Then I can stop. This pushing of the cranks will end. Just past this bend.

Live by the river: Spending money
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/10/spending-money.html
Live by the river. Sunday, October 14, 2012. Another thing I've noticed recently is that because I am trying to save money so hard for going home, all I want to do is spend it! This month has been a write off anyhow, as I needed to buy an outfit for a wedding I'm going to, but I just seem to keep thinking of more and more things that I 'need'. It reminds me of before I left NZ for the very first time writing (yes - it was writing back then! Two weeks till payday and there is lots more I need yet!

Live by the river: The final hurrah - in for the ride anyone?
http://live-by-the-river.blogspot.com/2012/10/the-final-hurrah.html
Live by the river. Tuesday, October 02, 2012. The final hurrah - in for the ride anyone? And so all good things must come to an end. this blog is on its last legs, but its got three months left in it yet! But it is going to be a wrench, and emails singing my praises make it both easier and harder. However I do remember getting the same from TPK when I left all those moons ago, and I remember feeling the same, so I just have to keep to the path :-). Tuesday, October 02, 2012.

Piha Tales: July 2009
http://pihatales.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 19, 2009. Well its been ages, so here goes. Winter has been chilly, and we've done our usual "do the basics" approach to life, keeping warm and not over extending ourselves. Jac has finished her Masters, and got a A- in her last paper (hurray! So she is returning to earth and looking forward to graduation in August. We plan to take the support crew out for dinner (all the people who helped her over the last 2.5 years). Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm Out the Back, Dreaming.
