Waiheke Summer 2009/10

Worked on Waiheke Island for the summer, helping to run Casita Miro. Home for a while, Maria Odete at first was not impressed, but I made it pretty homely

After a lot of mucking around, finally got into Medical School at Auckland. Looking forward to starting and anticipating an avalanche of work

My attempt at classic Mutton Chops. still needs a bit of a tweak.

The size of that frontal bossing offends me. and Mike Kinealy, Francis's old flatmate and cousin, crazier than a rat up a drainpipe.

Francis Morton-Jones Stag Do, Finished Exams

This shot is evidence of carnage caused on Francis's stag do. Paintballing, and i got shot 14 other times. Video evidence from the ensuing debauchery caused later in town, with luck will never be seen again.

Finished the last of my years exams last Saturday. I'm pretty pleaseed with how they went, should here back in a couple of weeks. Augusto rang me at 1am the night before population health, wishing me luck. All i remember was some pissed ramblings of a Queenslander talking about steaks storms and walking around in underwear.

Cleavedale Winter 2009

Organic farming methods include many natural methods such as biodynamics, homeopathy, herbal remedies, poultry manure soil enrichment. Organic farmers do not use chemical pesticides and herbicides, and synthetic fertilisers. Organic terminology is loosely based around phrases such as 'getting the soil biology working, cosmic, working with the meridian lines etc.
Farming using these methods is very labour intensive however I believe ultimately more rewarding than conventional farming working in greater synchronisation with nature.


Another good Waikato frost.

Raglan Mission 2

View from Whale Bay of a small and messy lineup. Still 2 ft sets.

Raglan Mission

Ruapuke, West Coast. Nice 4 ft day with some seriously gnarly 6 ft sets coming through, the rawness of the west coast reminded me of Allens in Dunedin. Good waves were few and far between but caught a few screamers. Made me feel alive
