Wanaka Solitude
It’s become my New Year tradition to write a list of happenings from the year past, so here comes another one.
In 2007, I:
- Ate meat for the first time in 20 years
- Sold my beloved Landcruiser and bought a fast car
- Fell unexpectedly in love
- Bought a house, and fell in love with that too
- Went tramping with an old teacher of mine and 16 boys
- Planted my first vegetable garden
- Learned the Foxtrot
- Actually competed in (rather than just trained for) some triathlon and multisport events
- Rode on a Wellington commuter train
- Met a long-time internet friend for the first time
- Bought a road bike and rode in a bunch
- Liked myself, at least some of the time
- Modeled an electric blue bespoke suit made entirely of Molenberg bread bags
- Said goodbye to another group of students who I will miss dearly
- Swam the length of Lake Wanaka in a relay with 7 others
- Ran up Mt Roy
