You've heard of the Book and Film "In My Father's Den". How about the animal kingdom version "In my Doggy's Den"

I needed a little time to myself, so armed with Camera in hand, i paid a visit to the beach. The overcast sky was perfect for taking photographs as it was almost the same steely grey as the Ocean

Wednesday truly felt like winter, it was cold all day, and it rained on this day of celebration. Grandad turned 75, so we celebrated by taking him out to dinner at our local Masonic Hotel. I had a delicious Steak. It was a great night with the faint undertones of the Rover's Return Inn from Coro Street

The torrent of water and mud which burst out of the hot crater lake atop Mt Ruapehu on the North Island's volcanic plateau today could have been far worse, say authorities.

A seven-metre high soft rock and ash dam that had penned the lake since the mountain erupted violently in 1995 finally gave way late this morning.

The escaping water gouged out rocks and earth and other debris carrying them down the mountain in the classic mudflow know as a lahar.

I have an excuse now

I do have a really good reason/excuse for the complete lack of updates on my blog. As it happens I forgot my password to log in to blogger. So just now I have reset my password and now I can get into my blog. Which i think is cause for celebration.

Major, Major, major Update

It's that time. A apologise most sincerely for the no activity. There is no excuse.
Well here goes. Last Saturday, myself, a couple of teachers and a few students from my english class travelled to Whakatane to watch the Shakespeare in the Park - Well, all five minutes of it. Heavy rain caused a cancellation. That was a little disappointing, however all was not lost, we were able a little time shopping before it. All of us got absolutely drenched, luckily the Warehouse was still open, where I bought a top to wear whilst I soaked my legs in damp jeans. Upon arrival back in Opotiki, I stopped in at work and got into a change of clothes I had in there.
Today at assembly I got my "Itiaki" badge. I was so excited, I am now part of the elite group of students that assists students and teachers in using the ICT programs on the school network. At the moment we are learning how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver. Its a really neat program. Now its back into the hard grind of School Work, but on the lighter side, Tomorrow I am attempting to get my Full Drivers License in Whakatane. I am a little nervous about it, so today on my way home, I practised talking to myself for identifying hazards and responding to them. I also helped Dad pick out a new Cellphone for Work. I think he is pleased by my decision.

Major Updates

It has been a huge while since I have updated. Last saturday I went on a music trip to Whakatane to watch the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. It was absolutely amazing to see the national orchestra playing live. And on Wednesday we had our annual school athletics day, and prior to that we had our swimming sports. They were great days. Got sunburnt on both of them even though I put sunscreen on. Its not fair.
