Megan takes one for the team!

I’ve been trying to avoid over-running the site with hockey videos from the Nationals, but this one definitely deserves it’s own post :P

Wordpress to Facebook

Wordpress and Facebook are da bomb! I’ve now setup a feed from my website direct to my Facebook profile. Fingers crossed it works. If it does, then you should be able to see this on Facebook right now.

Thanks to Rob at tsaiberspace.net for developing the Wordpress plugin which made this possible :)

Aardwolfs on/in Manorburn dam

During the Christchurch Aardwolfs Southern Migration we stopped off at the Manorburn dam to see what the ice was like. We expected to see nothing but water, but a slither of ice on the bottom basin was enough to give our resident

ice expert Clive the hope to have a crack at skating on the top basin. So we trudged up the valley and had a gander at the ice up there. Apparently there was enough ice in the middle to skate on, but getting their proved a tad treacherous!

Ted had a decent crack at standing on the ice but kept dipping his foot into the water. He even clambered over a branch like a monkey to reach the ice further toward the center which looked skateable, but couldn’t quite make it far enough from the shore.
