  2. Good evening Deigh; My wife and I started to watch an hour long presentation on New Zealand. I believe it is titled Ariel New Zealand. I can never get  enough of things like this and will rewatch parts over again to absorb some facts. I am going to have many question I'm sure. The bit I've watched so far has talked about it being 2 separate islands and the hot springs and frying pan lake on the north isle. Which chunk of Terra firma do you call home? Can't wait to watch more. Thanks,  Wil

      It's a brilliant country to visit, there are so many different views and some good activities for the younger generation. It is also peaceful and previous to the recent Mosque shootings...pretty quiet. Just what I need!

      We are North Island, google 'Waiuku;' and you will see it is a pretty uneventful area, We are semi tropical. get no snow but some finger tingling frosts. We get the odd ground shake mid summer which can be fun but rarely events even in an insurance claim.......... and no casualties!

      Water plays a big part in our lives here, We have the biggest ratio of boats per person in the world. one person in three is a fisherperson, mainly sea but also a great amount of freshwater fishers for Trout and Salmon. Boats are not registered but mooring fees cans be steep and in many places charges are made for use of landing ramps by owners of towed boats.

      The handling of the virus crises here has been excellent, we have it fully under control and are now desperately waiting for the rest of the world to catch up and we can again welcome visitors with money to spend.

      Regards

      I apologise for my reply, I should expect with the amount of effort you are putting in, you should play again but we have different problems, My left hand was still able to do most of the things it did before except for a 10% loss of strength and that meant that getting the right hand to hold a plectrum was the major concern for me.

       

      I've oversimplified that a bit, building up the strength is only part of the problem, the rest is re-learning how to get  it to do what is expected of it. But the point I'm making is that the left hand is the most important part of guitar playing, I've met a muso who could strum with just a stump instead of a right  hand.

      Keep at it.

      I think you should hold your hand on your hand surgeon and see your brain makes your hand slap him around the head!

      Hey, thanks for that. I Just found this message by accident and hope it was this year since there is no date on it.

      Have we corresponded? I can't recall your name?
