Right, I've decided to get my arse out of the UK, it needs doing tongue2 I've been preliminarily approved for a working holiday visa in NZ but apart from that I've not really gotten very far, so I'm doing plenty of reading today! Where be the spinners? Anyone got a sofa for a strapping young lad who makes a mean cup of tea?

I'm a tree surgeon so I'll be hoping to do some tree work when I'm over there but I could use a couple of friendly faces to make contact with on the other side, and there's nowhere friendlier than HoP smile

If you're wanting to know where regular gatherings are in NZ, this is a good guide:

https://www.firestuff.co.nz/events.php

The FireNight in Mission Bay is worth going to. Fun, friendly people. Fire poi, fire staff, juggling, unicycles, all sorts of fun and games.

Never meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

I second Kihitara! We even had unicycle jousting last Sunday. Well when I say we I kinda fell off straight away but the other guys did! Fun times for all. The Central City Circus (Mr Markeespark and pals) also do a fire night on Tuesdays and various locations, we try and keep the events page here updated. Also there is a juggling night on Wednesdays at The Leys gym in Ponsonby. check out https://centralcitycircus.com/events.html
for more details.

Let my words, dear friends, be treasures. Weightless golden butterflies that hang before your eyes for seconds, then are gone. But the dust of truth and beauty that their wingbeats leave behind will settle on your soul and make you happy. - Edward Monkton
