Fathers Day is an interesting day. It’s one of those Hallmark holidays that some love and others loathe with thoughts of socks, jocks and handkerchiefs
I’m not particularly fussed either way when it comes to Fathers Day but hey who’s going to say no to some gifts and a bit of attention from your kids and partner. This year I scored some great new cuff links from the family including an awesome spirit level set (pics soon!) Perhaps others out there got some new toys for the workshop/mancave?
For me the best present is some time out to recharge and with the awesome weather on Sunday I got chance to do just that! I set out up the hill to test my fathers day present latest purchase a new snowboard, a K2 Turbo Dream to be precise and what a great day it was. Wintry snow up the top of the hill, no wind and almost t-shirt temperatures. I’m not sure what the rest of you were doing, breakfast in bed if you were lucky or mowing the lawn if you weren’t but I was having an awesome time in the sun up in the magnificent South Island high country. It really does amaze me the scenery available in New Zealand with such small driving distances. While it hasn’t been the greatest winter for snow with the warm temperatures really punishing the snow who in their right mind is going to turn down a chance to get out of the office and appreciate the moment.
I’ve appreciated the moment so much of late that I’m currently planning a trip to Japan in February with some mates I haven’t seen in years. Can anyone say roadtrip? More details to come over the next few weeks.
