31. Flautist
I have played a 竹笛Chinese bamboo flute, since I was 10 years old. It is an excellent way for retired people to pass the time. I often played at the Hamilton Gardens, Waikato river bank or on the lakes as shown here. I created this blog because Jessie Liaw wanted to hear me play my flute. She lives in Melbourne and I am living in Hamilton, New Zealand. It took me a while to figure out how to accomplish this feat. Saturday, December 11, 2010. Thursday, November 11, 2010.

333. The Lazy Fish
333 The Lazy Fish. I have found Shangri-la. It is a backpacker hostel called the Lazy Fish at the Marlborough Sounds. Monday, July 11, 2005. This hammock is very popular. You have to queue for your turn. The Lazy Fish has a lazy dog. It was Kevin's birth day. We bought the lobsters on the road side at Kaikoura for only $25 each. It was highly over-rated. I prefer the barbecued tiger prawns from Maxim on Merbau Road, any time! There was absolutely nothing to do, but watch the ships go by.

341 Fruits in my garden. My wife, Christine's hobby is gardening. She has planted. A few fruit trees in our back garden in Hamilton. Sunday, June 22, 2008. It is so strange to see such big fruits on a small tree. Wednesday, May 14, 2008. My plum tree produces two types of fruits: Billington and Black Doris. This is because there are two graftings on the one tree. Here you can see clearly that one branch already has leaves and the other branch was just starting to bloom. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
