my silly car has broke down three times, been towed once and had this glorious flat tire all since leaving Waiheke Island... I guess it wasn't ready to leave the island.
MAKE LEMONADE...
I love MY NEW BIKE!!! I got it for only $30 (much less than half a tank of gas) from the Green Bike Trust at Massey University!!!
Hello Blogspot,
I hope all is well in the lives of those who read this. I've been having an interesting time since my vacation with Marc ended. My time off has been enjoyable, but left me penniless. As Poison says "every rose has its thorn". There are always surprises when traveling, some great, others kind of annoying. My car has been constantly breaking down on me. I keep fixing it, thinking that its good to go, and it keeps dying. Last week I drove to Martinborough to give grape harvesting a try, and more importantly make a little extra cash, unfoutunately the trip left me more in the hole than I was before I even left. My car stopped starting, I couldn't find a backpackers to sleep at, and I had a hard time finding a decent job. After 3 days of harvesting it started to pour, I figured that was a good sign to go back home. John found me some work catering, and my tax refund just got deposited in my bank account so I am back on my feet.
I am ready to start working again. Tomorrow I am headed to Wellington to look at a couple of flats and drop off the ol' resume around town in search of a job. I am going to try to get out of the service industry... maybe even use my degree for a change. Wish me luck, as I will need it!
Coming "home" was a good idea. I just had a terrific easter weekend... whipped up some great lemon bars, watched my fav movie "charlie and the chocolate factory", and been crafting it up at John's place. The catering gig was also great, the bride gave us all a few bottles of wine to take home so I am stocked for the next few weeks and they paid me cash under the table!!!
I am thinking about changing the name of the blog, it was supposed to highlight brilliant things that happen in everyday life. I wanted to interview, document, and share beautiful things with people, but its turned into more of a travel blog... I still love the original idea better, but I find I haven't really been staying in line with the concept... well in the meantime, here are some photos for pure and sweet fun!
Happy loooong Easter weekend, from me to you!!!!

Good Luck, Wolly! Keep living the brilliant life and remember to always find the silver lining :)
its all about finding grace in the small things!
That's a totally sweet (as?) bike!
$30!!! I imagine you could kill some PDX bike geeks with that story.
My first big-boy bike was a Peugeot that was too big for me. At some point the shifter broke, then fell into the front wheel as I was riding and endo'd me over the handlebars!
I like your peugeot, very classy. I have a couple of my own, you know.
