Too funny not to post - the geek on wheels! We're up in Waitangi at a tech conference and what should I see go whizzing past the hotel room but many, many, geeks on wheels.. one of which was Rich!! Needless to say, I think these contraptions are HILARIOUS looking... the same can be said for the riders :o)Disclaimer: Since the Litmos biz has become our all-consuming thing that we 'do', this poor blog (aptly representing our personal life) has been put on hold :oD apologies!!
Richie and I are both very well, working hard of course, but playing hard when we get any opportunity! Most Sundays (which is our official day off) we get out to Woodhill Mountain Bike park for some action which is super fun. Ripping around on the trails out there amongst all the trees is the best way ever to break out of work mode. It's really only good out there in the winter though, when it rains a bit, as it's a sand base. So as soon as summer arrives it'll be back to the beach and planning camping trips - yay!
Travel hasn't featured much this year, or last year either, whick feels very strange. But we did go away camping at Easter down at the Coromandel which was beautiful - Waikawau Bay. Plus, we snuck in a weekend in Sydney for Foz's 40th birthday (of the couple Foz & Mitch - Whistler buddies) in May and caught up with heaps of the usual suspects including Amanda, Katia, Gueza and Craig. And just 2 weeks ago we managed to fit in a weekend at the snow and scored 2 blue bird days in a row - with a decent amount of snow - at Turoa! Fun fun fun.. :o)
I had to have a major op in the past few weeks so that wasn't cool at all but I'm on the mend now, and it did mean I was super spoiled by having my parents fly in to town to help look after me. Plus, my sis was also in NZ at the time, for her own reasons, so it was a great family catch up. We haven't all been together since February '08 so were well overdue!
Not too much else to relate in news, lots of worky stuff but I won't bore you with the details. We really aren't sure what our plans are for the coming year when it comes to travel or life in general, but I know we're in the mood to shake things up a lot, so stay tuned!
If you are reading this - thank you! However, we'd understand if you didn't ever check back here anymore seeing as we went from regular posts to what looks like maybe twice in a year!! YIKES. Anyway, if you are hanging in there with us (yay!), let me know what you're up to - maybe it will give us some ideas!?! :o)
Here's hoping life is fun, happy and exciting wherever you are!
Nic & Rich xx
