We apologise for this interruption to our scheduled programming...

Sorry. Sorry sorry sorry. Yep, im pretty sorry. As it can be easily seen, the blog has somewhat been erratic in its new and wonderful delivery of delicious travel related stories. As noted, tragedy, illness and mostly, (a lame excuse i know) the fact that New Zealand had LITTLE internet action have really impeded the growth of this delicious little blog. I would love to carry on writing about it ya know? I may be a month and half behind, stranded in the literary limbo that is the story of our trip to Frasier Island, but if anyone is still reading, i would certainly like to tell you about it. And New Zealand. But not Fiji. Nope. Fiji was HELLISH.

Anyway, instead of the continuous writing of these apologies, maybe i should just get my fingers tapping away at the proper stuff. The stuff this blog is made of. SO, if you still want to stick around and find out whats been going on, i'll get to it now.

Stay tuned, our regular programming will resume shortly. Promise.

On the 4th of July, at 2am, i was standing at a bar trying to decide whether i could afford another drink or to get a pie instead. On the other side of the planet, at 3pm, my Nan left. she finally said goodbye at 96 years old, and im so sad i wasnt there.

Nan was so amazing at being a grandmother, it's very difficult to put into words what made her so special to me.

i'm remembering you standing at your bedroom window Nan. im in my car, and i start to drive away, and i turn back and you are smiling and waving, and we blow each other kisses. i will miss you very much. Goodbye nan.
