Pleased to announce that I have finally launched a new little business:
You will see we already have customers! Very pleasing.
Here is an example (My House!)
If you are selling your house – having it videoed and hosted costs just $150.

An enjoyable evening, and something a little different.
Held at the Elmwood Gardens function centre.
The closing song, cleverly reworded from the original.
The Ples res, Otatara.
7 Acres of native bush and field. Approximately 11 years old, designed my John McCulloch of McCulloch architects, Invercargill.
Unusual, it sits on four separate levels, with very few perpendicular or parallel walls.
I love it.
No, we are not selling it, I am just putting a new business together assisting real estate sales with brief video footage. This was a learning one for my friend and colleague Marcus McCann of Challenge films. Marcus has a feature film out for release through a Hollywood distributor over the next few months.
Wow, with a month to go, Janeybabe decides the travel plans are back in my hands.
Lets see how the deals lie now.
Sheesh.
Taking the kids to school at 0830 ish this am, it was 0 degrees, according to the car:
And according to H & J’s
Well its the 18th of June and where is my new software, Jobsy?
Its not under the tree, its not on iTunes or the website…
Don;t tell me I have to wait until its the 18th in Cupertino?
NOOOOO! How terrible is my life…
I am a little miffed – Jane has taken over the travel plans. Not happy with what I had prepared.
Hmmmmpppppfff..
Well you do better darling.
Apparently the only way I will get it is with lessons. Sadface.
Bugger that. I won’t be told.
Maybe I should become a lion tamer instead?
Just starting enquities about our August September big OE! All four of us to Europe via US and back via somewhere interesting in the east!
Actually starting to get excited about it now…
Martha our long lost slinky black cat has returned. Went when we got mac a doodle.
Little uber hunter Martha has returned.
Long may she stay – even though she did murder my favourite kitten Mort.
Got the chance to hit Mavora four mornings in a row – and what a blast!
Heaps of fine fish.
Sadly, none with fly rod. Did try it though, and clearly much to learn. At this stage I am more like a ring leader in a circus.
Tame a lion – easy. 5lb Brownie, not a chance.
This is what I had wanted to say at Libby’s funeral yesterday, but could not. Thanks to all of you who rescued me!
Libby
There are times for poetry such as Auden.
This is such a time, but I will not.
This could too be such a time for solemn repose, stiff solidarity and sombre clothes.
But let us hope that it is not.
That your heart broke has broken ours.
This is a time for remembering and for tears.
It is such a time for music and memories. And friends.
And floods of tears.
Would you were here, at some other funeral, you would have lifted us;
Made the day more bearable.
Shouldered the burden, such that when we got it back it was somehow only half.
This is a time for you to be here.
With us
And you are, and will be forever.
Shane
As in the Southland Times this morning.
For 19 years she shone brightly, but in the early hours of Thursday the light that emanated from Elizabeth Daisy Moss was put out, but never spent.
Through their grief yesterday her family paid tribute to the daughter and sister they knew simply as Libby.
Miss Moss died after a single-car crash in Oreti Rd, Otatara, when the Mazda 323 she was driving veered off the road into a ditch, hit a culvert and rolled some time after 12.30am. Libby had managed to climb out of her beloved car, which she had named Dora The Explorer, and walk across the road, but died from internal injuries. Emergency services were called about 4am.
Words to describe Libby do not come easy for Alan and Julie Moss.
Their only daughter had a quality about her that was hard to pinpoint, Mrs Moss said.
“She was a girl who just stood out … she was only here for 9 years but she lived every day to the full,” she said. We’re just grateful we had her, just really grateful for every day we had with her.”
All of her friends agree.
Yesterday the family home was filled with friends, flowers and cards all acknowledging the brief but unforgettable mark Libby had left, something her parents and two brothers, Harry, 18, and George, 15, are thankful for.
Libby and her family emigrated to New Zealand from Stafford in the English Midlands five years ago, but Libby managed to maintain friendships at both ends of the globe.
Libby, who was juggling work as a waitress with second-year studies for a marketing and management degree at the Southern Institute of Technology, got her first taste of the world of the entrepreneurship at Verdon College in 2007.
Part of the college’s Young Enterprise team, she and another pupil devised a plan to market women’s underwear that promoted cervical screening under the name Smarty Pants, Mrs Moss said.
She also had ideas of owning a restaurant and returning to the United Kingdom to catch up with old school friends.
Libby’s death comes just days away from Mr Moss’ 50th birthday. Libby had been heavily involved in its planning.
On the night Libby died she had tried on a blond Afro wig she planned to wear to the 1970s disco-themed party. She loved parties, Mrs Moss said.
Libby’s funeral will be held tomorrow at 11am.

On Thursday morning we lost our beautiful friend & god-daughter Libby Moss in a senseless car accident. On her own it appears she lost control of the vehicle and had a low impact crash.
19 Years old and the most beautiful person you could imagine.
It is still too painful to continue, and words cannot express the grief that surrounds this tragedy.
Delighted and amazed.
Genuinely amazed at the technology and sheer ‘usabilty’ of this device. Things are so much easier – there is certainty in my calendar again – no more ringing around “I have synched my Okta again and all my diary dates have one awry…”
I’s in the only colour ir should be – white of course.
And gosh the apps. Scramble online woot!
More soon
