“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. So here’s some of what I do when I’m not working or dabbling with technology.
Rugby
This is a good time to be living in Christchurch, New Zealand. I may not support the Crusaders rugby franchise, but I’m going to enjoy going along to watch some big matches in the new stadium.
ANZAC weekend 2026 saw Christchurch host a “Super Round” where every match was played in the same venue, so I also went along to see the Highlanders vs Moana Pasifika.
I had a lovely smoked brisket and cheese pie, but I didn’t get a picture of that.
Walks in the park
The weather hasn’t been too cold yet, so I like to get out for a wander around Hagley Park while I catch up on some podcast episodes.
Watching Race Cars
SuperCars came to compete at Ruapuna in 2026, so I went along to check it out.
I didn’t watch much of the racing, but had a good look around.
Quizzing
Once or twice a week I like to head along to one of the local quizzes.
