I'm doing 19 things
- I’ve had numerous electric shocks. Worst was 15kV.
- I once read an entire novel in a bookstore (but I bought another one, so wasn’t too naughty)
- I seem to have a thing for getting onto building rooftops. Have been on top of Te-papa (allowed) and Auckland museum (not allowed). Have also jumped from the roof of a hanger into a tree. And climbed a water tower (although couldn’t make it onto the top of that one)
- For the last five years, I’ve not really seen a winter. (I migrate annually)
- I don’t get twitter
- I shake my feet like a cat with wet paws when I hop out of the shower
- I’ve been tear-gassed. Twice.
- I’ve been in love three times. Have broken two hearts and had mine broken twice. Love is a tough one to figure out.
- I always want to know how things work. I probably also have a long-winded explanation for how things work that I could bore you with…
- I’ve met (in person) four people from 43Things. :-)

How I did it
It made me 
How I did it: Took a Hunter Valley wine tour while in Sydney. I wasn't that impressed with the wines on that tour, but now often stop in winerys if I drive by and have a taste. Have picked up a couple of great bottles in the odd boutique store. Very rewarding. Read how I did it…

A mate had a spare electric guitar that he wasn’t using. So now he’s given it to me. (Although if he ever wants it back – not a problem)
But have picked it up and starting to learn again. Although it’s taking a bit of a back seat to the flat renovations going on at the moment.
Thinking about taking a year out – and one of my ideas is to spend a year playing golf. Would be interesting seeing how much I could improve if I really focussed on it. Kind of like The Dan Plan only I’ve been playing golf for ages and still suck. (Although I enjoy it – and that’s what matters)
