as at this stage there are now competing free apps for your Rugby World Cup 2011 attention.
First up was the official RWC 2011 app, for most flavours including Android.
Hot on the heels of that one, Fairfax comes along with there own…..
free app too, this ones called Rugby Heaven, also on Android and others.
Its says it will feature some AR stuff with Grant Fox (maybe involve QR codes?) and also some commentaries from funnyman Leigh Hart.
10 days to go!
one evening this week…….they were all there in the usual Nelson sunshine, and spring hasn’t even officially started yet!
……yesterday evening at the Honest Lawyer (best pub name ever I reckon)
and as the sun was going down it really was a great spot to be, and talk about ole times.
…..photo taken from the deck……
this here is a perfect example of a 3 bedroom home in Nelson with a decent view – on at $369,000+.
(New to the market today)
everywhere you look
there are these posters
provided by the Nelson City Council
and highlighting the teams that we will be hosting in 3 weeks time.
maybe on account of spring cleaning…..just a guess?
Sunday mornings at the carpark are a bit busier.
Every year Skydive Abel Tasman host the Good Vibes Boogie,
and 2011 was no different. Just for your information Skydive is voted the number 1 attraction in Mot on TripAdvisor.
It brings over 100 local and international skydivers together
in Motueka around this time of the year.
At least 3 planes
were busy spotted trying to keep all the busy
contestants in the air this year.

Why are these Skydivers shaking hands?
floating 29-metre pontoon wharf, well not really new as it was existing in another location.
But its new to this new home location. Why?
The Nelson Mail quotes Captain Duncan of the port company as saying;
Abel Tasman Sea Shuttle will utilise this pontoon from September to March as a base for its trips to the Abel Tasman National Park, with visiting superyachts able to tie up at the western side
"It's a better location for the superyachts visiting Nelson for access to restaurants, the town and that sort of thing."

….is thank goodness Nelson never experiences these sort
of climatic interludes. Crickey, if we did, then all I could further mention……
…..would be “G*d help the rest of NZ.”
Why?
Because, if like me, you don’t watch the TV news regularly on account of its “incredible positivity”
you may have missed the fact that this past week, many parts of Godsown were, for want of a better term,
…..(in a “guess the car” sort of way) climactically challenged.
But if you’d spotted Jim on Monday or Tuesday night, one thing may have taken your attention….or at least…should of.
That thing……well Nelson, courtesy of our geography, well we were not affected by what happened to the rest of NZ.
I certainly find the joinery, sliding windows and all, appealing?
It would seem that it wasn’t just the snow that was a major force in everyones thoughts this last few days.
Courtesy of that lovely Polar Blast other residents found it tough too.
No not just Happy Feet, I mean our fine fur covered friends here.
I counted about 5 nearly on the roadway, they were already onto the bitumen,
but luckily for them………..not quite on the main highway laneway this afternoon.
Yes we had one here in Nelson.
Did it work?
You bet it did!
Sadly its just on display now. (with dummy model onboard)
Actually was locally made too, from bits found at the Nelson Recycling Centre. Made the paper, local TV and even Discovery Channel TV.
just doesn’t do the local Tahunanui Beach justice.
Its such a fabulous place to start the day, seagulls flying……………
…..dogs jumping & loving their walk at the beach, even fish jumping too.
but locally its still operational….…and so said….possibly the best advertising medium available.
Certainly most folk in town recognise it and can quote Leo’s name…so something must be working.
First up IMAGE A.
Pray tell which of these two images here looks better…more realistic…whatever…
Second up …..IMAGE B.
……to you. I would love to gauge opinions of property lookers as to what looks better.
Or at the same time to your vision….what looks more appealing?
No you weren’t seeing things. ………..
Yes that is grandfather clock poking out of the roof of a Morris Minor.
Just a local second hand dealers advertising medium, taking advantage of folks interest in “Antiques Roadshow” I guess?
Just looked up last Sunday afternoon to see the storm had passed….
….and there right next to it was blue sky….ah Nelson…”its back to usual.”
