Photos

For my 30th birthday this year, my Mum gave me a collection of photos she’d had scanned, from pictures of my Mum and Dad before I was born, through to a trip Mum and I took to Europe in 2001, just before Sally and I got married.

I really enjoyed looking through the photos, particularly because [...]

Fiji

On Sunday night, the three of us got back from a week in Fiji, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of certain people. And man, was it sweet.

It wasn’t too hot, but there was plenty of sun-on-skin, we went snorkeling (both off a boat and off the beach into the coral lagoon), we ate amazing food [...]

Acupunture: The Verdict

Not good. The first three visits were alright, except I didn’t feel any improvement. The fourth visit was unpleasant. Two of the needles the bloke put into my lower back, right down at the base of the spine (they didn’t go into my spine, of course) really caused me some pain. I don’t know what [...]

Acupuncture

I’m having some at the moment, just over King St from where we live. I don’t enjoy the actual treatment much, but the bloke there, Chen, says we should try four treatments and see what happens. Today is the third one and thus far I haven’t noticed much change. I know that when I don’t [...]

Dave Miers has gone dot com
