Bode and Susan

Bode and Susan kidnapped me and dragged me off to the dump, followed by a trip to the local female factory (didn’t find anything that suited my tastes) then took me to Cascade Brewery in Hobart Australia for a beer.

The Cascade brewery is nestled in the hills above Hobart and has a lovely little garden area to try the local brew in. Image photoshopped to make it look a little more evil!

Bode Cave

Our uber awesome, wonderful and truly incredible professional ice hockey coach Jenel Bode is leaving :( Hopefully she’ll be back next year though :)

For her goodbye bash, she organised a goodbye party in a cave at Longbeach. It sounded boring, getting stuck in a cave all evening on a cold, wet, rainy day :( Luckilly Sarah was heading out to take Jane so I hitched a ride along so I could make an appearance and bail home early with Sarah. Darn glad I went though, coz it was totally awesome. The cave was wicked, the fire kept us all cosy warm, everyone had fun and there was loads of entertainment provided by my teammates who provided firebreathing, guitar and flame throwing demonstrations for us all. There were even baby blue penguins in the back of the cave hanging out with us!

Beasts in the Easton Cup

I played for the Dunedin Beasts in the Easton Cup. I also dragged our superstar ring-in Jenel Bode to play with us :) Unfortunately she got injured and only played one and a bit games :( We got totally thumped in every game. Was lots of fun though and I can’t wait for the rest of the season!

Jenel Bode comes to Dunedin!

Woot! Got a lift back to Dunedin from Christchurch with my old hockey coach Jenel Bode who I’m hoping will take a job with the Dunedin Ice Hockey Association as a professional hockey coach/skating instructor. We stopped off at the Moeraki boulders on the way.

Yvette and I took her up onto the chemistry department roof to show her the city from up high.
