Jack’s Message to Vishal

New House Signed off!

It’s a done deal! We’ll be moving on the 5th August. Here’s a few photos of the place for now so you can see what it’s like…

Today’s the day!

Well, today is the big day! We’re off to the lawyers to sign the final docs to make our house sale and purchase unconditional! A little scary but they that “What doesn’t kill you only makes your stronger”!

So it’s a new chapter for the Stones! Watch this space!

A message to Grandad!

This is Jackson leaving a nice message for Grandad…

Jack’s new Haircut!

Our wee Jackson was starting to get a wee mullet. So I took him down for a haircut. Doesn’t he  look like a cool ladies man now? Robbie Williams eat your heat out!

The new Heat Transfer kit gets installed

Getting a little nippy over the winter… brrr…. Our mates Ben and Rose decided to bless us with a new heat transfer kit – how awesome is that! We live in a cold old bungalow so it’s made a big difference. It was about 6-7 degrees in Jack’s room but is now about 12+ degrees.

So a huge thanks to Ben and Rose for this! Ben and I put the thing in in the weekend. Here’s a few pics.

Vishal’s Visit to Tekapo!

We’re planning to bring our Fiji developer for www.proworkflow.com to NZ to live and work, so he’s been here the past week checking out the NZ scene. I took my boat down to Lake Tekapo in the weekend to attempt to freeze him. Vishal lives in Fiji so I thought the cool minus 2 temperature would be a bit of fun 😉


Very scenic and no wind! We went about 30kms to the top of the lake. Even had a fish, but not a lot of fish action. Anyway, here’s a few pics from the day.







After the lake, I took Vishal to the Salmon Farm to feed some fish. I think he enjoyed that – here’s a vid:

Chilling on the Rakaia

Ben Viv and I took off to the Rakaia for the morning to chase Salmon. We didn’t catch any but was fun trying to drive the jet-kayaks up the gorge in 100km winds!


Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! Grandad visited us and Jackson has discovered the marvels of chocolate!



A play in the river…

We had a lovely surprise with Sarah’s Mum, Uncle Gary and Auntie Judy dropping in with their bus. They just decided to drive down to Christchurch to surprise us! Awesome.
They stayed for a few days and Jackson loved having them here…

One day, before dinner we decided to take the Jet Kayaks down to the Waimakariri Gorge to have a play. Here’s some Photos:


That’s Uncle Gary and us just getting ready…


Taking Jackson for a ride around the river…




The beautiful Sarah and charming Jackson take a moment to smile for the camera!
