I'm too much of a wuss to get any more tramps in now that the days are getting cold and short, but we squeezed in a quick one to Spurs Hut a couple of weekends ago. Head to the link in my bio to see photos on the blog. #NewZealandDiary #NewZealand #NZ #Aotearoa #SouthIsland #Canterbury #Christchurch #Lyttelton #BanksPeninsula #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #cartoon #spurshut #Fairlie #tramping #hiking #basic #DOC

I get repetitive strain injury when I type too much and so I have switched to dictating when I can. I'm dictating this right now. The Mac is pretty good at deciphering my speech, But sometimes its mistakes can be very entertaining. #ReasonsToBeCheerful #dictation #lostintranslation #mac #computer #illustratorsofinstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #cartoon
Asparagus grows really well in New Zealand... #Sumner
