chilling, dogs and a weekend that never was

22/1/12 Sunday Simple really... chilling in the sun

Need I say more?

23/1/12 -27/1/12 Dog attack.

Well its that pesky thing again. Work Things of note well I got attacked by a mean dog- you know the type all teeth and neck muscle So anyway I went into a garden and a dog bounded over the fence barking at me. I distracted it with my file and this worked moderately well until it thought my legs was a much better prospect. It go my trouser leg but by this time I had edged close enough to the fence so I checked my file at the dog and vaulted over the fence. The result being that I was safe if not a bit sore from banging my legs and the dog had my file and papers in its garden. Luckily there was a contractor near by and with me watching the garden he jumped over the fence or retrieved my files. A quick call to animal control and the owner was visited and served with a dangerous dog noticed and fined. Not a nice time but never the less I am safe.

The rest of the week was family uneventful. We told people we were leaving which caused much surprise. We also popped to the ocean spa for an evening soak and entertained friends a few nights.

28/1/12-29/1/12 The weekend that never was

With the clock counting down on our time in New Zealand we decided to so some of the things we had been talking about. We booked to go hand gliding and duly turned up on the top of a very steep hill at the allotted time. Alas it was too windy so we opted for a walk followed by a movie back home.

With the clock counting down we again decided to try and do some of those things... guess what it was both too windy for hand gliding and the super fast go karts were all booked up. With our look we will keep away from hot air ballooning! That said a bungee jump has been suggested for next weekend.
