What Do You Mean You Don't Have Your Very Own Private Island Somewhere In The Sun...

What do you mean you don't have your very own private and secluded island somewhere that you holiday at a few times a year.
I can't believe that you could be living such deprived lifestyles.
But I have to admit that on waking this morning,
I had a nagging feeling that something was missing in my life.
And then while chatting to my friend Harvey Jones over a coffee I realised what was missing.
What he had and I didn't.
It was so damn simple. A private island!
And the guy just looked at me aghast as if I was a second rate citizen and said, well it's about time you got one.
He's right of course. Harvey Jones usually is. And he's hard to keep up with.
So he suggested I have a look here and I suppose you will too.
I just won't tell you which one is my favourite
in case you beat me to it...

A View On Windows 8...

For six years I lived very happily
in my tiny 76 square foot house on wheels with just one window.
I didn't need more than one window because a person can only look through one window at any one time.
That's a simplistic philosophical approach but it worked and I would move my little home to access the view I most desired.
Those were the days of a little Compaq laptop and very slow speeds.
Life online was sometimes frustrating, very frustrating, but it was simple too. And fun.
Then there's been many happy years with an Asus laptop and Windows XP.
A great platform to view the world.
And now there's another Asus laptop and Windows 8.
It maybe Microsoft's latest but even they concede it's not the greatest.
They've now seen the light or perhaps the writing on the wall and promised a total upgrade.
If it hadn't been for the wonderfully talented David Semb at the Vodafone store in Kerikeri and my other computer genius friend Harvey Jones, the last week would have been much more painful.
Akin to walking barefoot over broken glass.
But I can see clearly now...
  

Gorgeous Tiny Rustic Dwellings And Shacks In New Zealand's South Island...

My friend Harvey Jones is still touring and probably will forever, New Zealand's South Island and posting wonderful images of the magnificent scenery and of course, gorgeous little shacks, cribs, baches, shacks, dwellings or cottages.
Call them whatever you wish but I'm sure you'll find them appealing.
They're enough to make many urban dwellers green with envy.
There's more here including images of the South Island's stunning scenery...

Once Upon A Time This Housebus Was Double The Fun...

Once upon a time a few years ago,
this wonderful double decker housebus
would have been double the fun for everybody.
My friend Harvey Jones, who's touring and freedom camping in New Zealand's South Island, where you can see, the scenery is magnificent, found this old beauty in a field at Waimangaroa.
Another grand old lady and a relic of this country's rich housebusing heritage.
At the end of her road...
