Having a great holiday at the moment. My brother arrived back in NZ last Monday so we took a trip down to Moeraki to see mum and dad. Just back from there after a few days of sleeping a lot. Nothing like sea air to knock you flat.

The batteries for the scooter arrived while I was away so I spent the morning changing them over. I’d be lying if I said I was completely at ease changing them over but all went well. The new batteries are in and charging. Went for a quick ride to make sure everything was still all working properly before doing a longer ride tomorrow. Hopefully these batteries last a little longer so have started a record to see how many kilometers I get out of them.

Am looking forward to a new machine in the next few days. The old laptop is starting to fall apart so I’m getting something a little more Linux focused set up. Hopefully the last machine I have to buy for a while. The next few days are all about catching up with people, a little bit of gardening and maybe some beer production.
