This ones especially for you Marlene (but also for anyone who wants a peak at the final product of my latest attempt at patchwork).

Hey everyone. Thanks to my brother in law Chris, I have been able to load more photos onto my blog for you to see. I've posted them through Flickr and if you double click on the photo box on the left hand side of my page it will take you to my flickr account and you'll be able to see some of them and as a slideshow too! Wow! I haven't got time to load recent ones onto the site just now but will do in the next couple of days so finally you'll be brought up to date with them. Enjoy! Thanks Chris!

Sorry for the gap in postings...have just finished a run of five night duties...glad that's over. 

So, I've added cycling to my exercise regime. There is a great bike path behind where I'm living which goes out along some flood banks and swings you out the back of Invers to the estuary. It's a great route. I feel like I'm in training for the Tour De France...:) ...no, not really but yes, it's nearly that time of year again!!! I'm a wee bit excited! Bring on July!

Anyway, I went for a bike ride this afternoon and was just about home when I looked up and saw that an lady was walking her dog along the path ahead. She looked up and saw me and moved to the side of the path. But her dog didn't really move over her side so I thought I'll slow down and go through the middle...which is what I proceeded to do. 

So, what went wrong...just as I was going through the middle, the dog decided to change and go the side of it's owner and I ran into the dog. It yelped and I fell off my bike ontop of the dog! Couldn't believe it! Fortunately the dog wasn't injured...that would have been just bad. The lady apologised and said that the dog was a bit blind. Great! I was a little embarrassed but after figuring we were all ok I just got back on my bike and cycled home..albeit with a bruise or two more than what I had before the cycle.

This would have to be one of the most beautiful places in the world...Milford Sound. Just majestic.

Check this out....the posties here ride bikes!! Have never seen one here that rides a motorbike. That's intense! I have been wanting to take a picture of one ever since I first saw them. The photo is a little far away but I wasn't game to get any closer...didn't want to look suspicious. I'd been waiting this morning for her to come around and when she did, I bolted out to take the photo only to realise that the neighbour had come out too to collect his mail that had just been delivered...ahhh! Hope he didn't see me!
