This Kiwi Flies: 12 weeks to the day
http://thiskiwiflies.blogspot.com/2009/01/12-weeks-to-day.html
Saturday, January 24, 2009. 12 weeks to the day. On Friday i had my first flight since the crash back on 30 October, twelve weeks after that day. We are up in the Wairarapa on holiday and so i had a short but lovely flight from a local hill here. Since then i have managed a couple more short flights and some thermalling. i am very happy to be airborne again! Anyway some pictures etc might eventuate if i can get organised with a good connection and my camera any time soon. Long may it last. I am a New Zea...

This Kiwi Flies: June 2008
http://thiskiwiflies.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. It has taken a lot of miscommunication and poor organization to be this delayed but eventually we got to the old peoples home in Artsvanik! Having finally got organized and collected all the necessary bits and pieces together we wandered off…. List as compared to many elderly these guys have a safe secure place to live. There is a little money left over – enough we think to purchase a DVD player, so they can watch old movies etc. Links to this post. Sunday, June 8, 2008. I am sta...

This Kiwi Flies: May 2009
http://thiskiwiflies.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 25, 2009. Flying Breast Peak in January. I wasn't up to flying this day, so I went along as a driver along with a couple of other keen para-groupies. We sat at the top of the hill drinking a rather nice Pinor Noir Rose wine and nibbling some cheese while the lads and ladess' took off. It was a perfect day. Jan, Ruth and Quentin were other para-groupies on the day. You can almost see my house from here! Links to this post. Sunday, May 24, 2009. So finally i put some more words on the page.

Draino's Diary: September 2010
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, 26 September 2010. I had finally saved up enough to purchase a new TV! I bought a Samsung 50" 1080p (FULL HD) Plasma. Which I ordered online from JB Hi-Fi. And it was delivered to us two days after the order was made! According to a JB Hi-Fi pamphlet, the TV was reduced in price the same day that it was delivered, but I could not be bothered arguing about the price reduction with them, due to the fact that it was delivered so quickly. Now what shall I 'christen' the TV with? Two separate sleeps (...

Draino's Diary: July 2015
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 21 July 2015. Resurrection of the Blog(s). After a short discussion with a PLUG (Perth Linux Users Group) member, I have come to realise that syndication of my posts is probably better off on one or more of my Blogs (see sidebar or my profile for more information) and link them in Google. I will also be posting more personal matters here in order to help me collect my thoughts and work through my issues such as my anxiety disorder and the inherent depression that comes from it.

Draino's Diary: April 2010
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 17 April 2010. This happened last night. Girlfriend accidentally clipped a bus ; ;. And here are a couple more the next day, before the car got towed away. UPDATE 20/04/2010 @ 17:24. Quote is almost in, but in the meantime I have been told that it only front/side damage. Lucky for me there is no axle or chassis damage but there is some minor damage to the suspension. ETA 1-2 Weeks (depending on parts). UPDATE 26/05/2010 @ 13:44. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My wishlists (Google Docs).

Draino's Diary: whale watching (2010)
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2010/10/whale-watching-2010.html
Sunday, 10 October 2010. GF and I went. Whale watching on Thursday. We caught the train to Fremantle and boarded the oceanic cruise vessel and to see a few pods of them gracefully doing their whale thing. Unfortunately none of them breached, but they did surface right near the boat (Starboard bow) just before the vessel started up for the return journey to Fremantle. We then decide to go eat at Cicerellos. After getting hopelessly lost thanks to stupid directions by the iPhone/Google map application.

Draino's Diary: August 2010
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 August 2010. Heya readers (the few that your are :-P). We have normality. I repeat. We have normality. As the blog title suggests, we ($GF and I) have a little more normality in our lives :-). Roof tragedy. Resolved. Car repairs. Fixed. Monetary concerns. Decreased. GF replacement mobile phone. Pending. So now that the above has been somewhat taken care of, I now have time to Study, play games and relax with less worries. I have also begun preparation for my Senior First Aid. Which means I n...

Draino's Diary: August 2009
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 August 2009. A week with my girl. Next week $GF is on holidays and so to is my step-dad (the person I currently share with). The good thing is that we have plenty of time to get to know each another real well and see what it's like to live together (I consider it like a training exercise :P). So now I am charged with organising food, cleaning the house and other preparations before she comes over for the week. Thursday, 13 August 2009. Playing the waiting game. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Draino's Diary: April 2011
http://drainosdiary.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 26 April 2011. Natural disasters are perhaps evolving into MAN MADE disasters. We may appreciate, for example, that Queensland floods could be exacerbated by coal exports. Maybe taxes can evolve to suit circumstances! An all important "Carbon Tax" should replace out-dated income tax and last century's G.S.T. (Not to mention Sales tax, flood levys, etc.). Imagine the stimulus to the economy! What do we, especially grand children and children, deserve? One tax - one future! View my complete profile.
