David Attenborough on Dave

How is it possible a young and reasonably frightened young man could plan a trip to Peru in the same week he purchased a house and his team of aspiring film-makers go national in their quest to win a swag of booty?

The answer is as obvious as the look of permanent startlement that plasters his face whenever he tries to communicate using Spanish: it’s not. But for the first time in recorded memory he has moved into the good parallel dimension. His frantic cries of eeek and eeep echo around the valley are a musical accompaniment to this most fragile of dances.

Hmmmm.

Anyway. Tomorrow I fly to Auckland and then the next day: Peru. Could be a song in that: First we take Auckland, then we take the Incan capital of Cusco. Maybe not.

But the important thing is: I will blog every now and then. To keep you, valued reader of an audience of 3, happy.

Also: If you’re in NZ – watch C4 11pm June 17 for TBALC – New Fish. We’re in the nationals. Woot! And the final that Saturday at 9pm.

House confirmation has been passed and confirmed and everything like that. I have a house! I’ll have a home! This is beyond exciting. I haven’t had a home in years.

I’m astonished (and rather happy) at how wonderfully awesome life is right now.

Right. Off to record first entry in travel diary:
June 9. Christchurch
9.16PM
Eeeeek.

    Hey Dave, I’ve had an awesome idea. Could you get a photo in somewhere cool, mountainey and generally scenic with a sign saying “Free Tibet” it would confuse people, mmmk.
