April Delights

April Delights

Wow, this last month has been heavenly hectic. Have been making some steady progress with website traffic, but on reflection, the amount of hours being put in certainly overshadow what is coming out – which has me pondering about what can be automated? and how can I automate on a tight budget? or what [...]

Sunrise Swims

Sunrise Swims

Yes, life is good.
Have found my groove and am excited about all the potential opportunities on the horizon.
The weather is still delightfully warm – have been waking up at the first glimpse of sunlight in the morning to race down to the beach for a sunrise swim, coupled with a short yoga [...]

About time!

About time!

After a dreadful start to the New Year which saw me return home to New Zealand from Madrid after, what turned out to be, a MAJOR misunderstanding. Major. The lesson learned? Do not *hack into email accounts, especially if they do not share the same native language as you and you have to translate [...]

Back home in New Zealand

Back home in New Zealand

These last few weeks have been horrific. Horrific, albeit humbling.
Something came up and I needed to fly home back to New Zealand to be with my family. The news came in the early hours of Sunday morning, bags were packed and I was at the airport just 30 hours later.
Madrid to London Gatwick, an [...]

Happy 2010

Happy 2010

Hope everyone had delightful New Years celebrations because 2010 is going to be a very, very good year, or so my Astrology Chart told me.
2010 was celebrated with a friends family eating grapes at the stroke of midnight.  The quietest and orderly New Years I have ever experienced in the last 15 years, then [...]

Mid Term Hibernation

Mid Term Hibernation

Life´s good out in the country. Nice and quiet. Powering through some big projects and feeling excited about 2010 and all the opportunities and possibilities next year has in store. Feeling a bit like a creature though, locked away in the house, staring out the window into the cold and rain outside. My only [...]

Wherefor art thou?

Wherefor art thou?

Wherefor art thou body?
Hidden beneath three jerseys,  a scarf, the big winter coat, jeans, thermals, two layers of socks and a winter hat… that´s where.
Oh winter, yes, it´s definitely arrived.
Looked like snow today, but alas, was only hail.
I can feel my ass getting bigger, but for the life of me, I have not seen [...]

Entering Hybernation

Entering Hybernation

Tomorrow will begin my first winter since 2006 which was presenting me with a minor dilemma.
My winter wardrobe is disgraceful and virtually non existent because of my tendency to follow the summer seasons around the world and I am reluctant to buy any new winter clothes because this winter is just a one-off [...]

The Mike Tyson Week

The Mike Tyson Week

I am just a peaced-out white girl who only wants to smell the sweet roses and live in relative harmony, but instead this week I feel like I have been subjected to the front row of a major boxing tournament which has left me feeling nervous and anxious.
My flatmates sister is visiting and staying [...]

Rock Climbing Monday, Exciting News Wednesday, Great Development Thursday….

Rock Climbing Monday, Exciting News Wednesday, Great Development Thursday….

What a week. Monday was spent Rock Climbing in the mountains north of Madrid on 50 meter vertical cliff walls. The first 15 meters are always easy, then you realize how far you have to fall if you slip and the anxiety and adrenalin kicks in. Being a natural blonde, I was totally unprepared [...]

My PARENTS Forced Me Into PROSTITUTION!

My PARENTS Forced Me Into PROSTITUTION!

 
Just joking. 
But they do absolutely, 100% *REFUSE to send me money, which makes it just a little bit harder when times get tough.
Dad is a firm believer in the old school thinking that “life is tough” and “you need to work f***ing hard to make anything happen”. Well, I agree with him, on some [...]

Still Early Days…

Still Early Days…

What a week! I learned that you can bullshit your way into an interview, but as soon as technical questions are asked, the masquerade comes falling to the ground, leaving you (me) looking like an idiot. But it’s all good. Of the three interviews I went for, 1.5 were successful. My very first class [...]
