yo yo!

well another week in QT, now that we're all snowboarders we have to learn the lingo and get with the program and all that. Fergus has only been here 5 days and he's already going on about carving up the snow!!. Snow boarders are a very cool load of people. its all about having big baggy pants and looking like you're putting the least effort into the whole thing as you possibly can. the best boarders actually nearly look bored! (pun ha ha!) anyway i think i'll give the heathens a few of the basics. apparently stoke rating is very important. you've a high stoke rating you've been having a really good day ( doing 360's (that's a full circle jump for the dummies) and getting loads of air!!) and if you've spent the day on your arse your stoke rating is pretty low. mine is rock bottom at teh moment! anyway that's the buzz!!
at last the bloody test series is over with another convincing win by the AB's . good for them. (i was advised (PQ) not to listen to the sheep shaggers bleating on about the rugby, so i wont !!) the kiwis are all loving it of course! bit of a crazy week we've just had, with three birthday's in a row there was no shortage of drink and craic. all the birthday s just happened to coincide with the queenstown festival , which was great. tuesday there was a concert and everyone was drinking in the streeet, had a bit of crazy golf on wednesday and jagermeister promo on friday night. plenty of mischief been had too, which i wont mention here i think, (goodness knows who's reading this yoke !) anyway it should be all back to normal by monday!
congrats by the way to vinny and padjo for getting through their first day of work in more than 6 months, ! anwyay thats' all folks,
stoked,
maeve
