What you find in pockets

And now I find masks in my pockets. A sign of the times….

I too lost a pair on Vuarnets back in the 80's sadly I knew exactly where they went ..... down the long drop toilet at Mt Hutt

As Kenny said - it's 80% water and there's chemicals for the other 20%...

I wondered for a second if you'd get it as i literally had to explain it to the kids (young adults) at work the other day.

I have lived too long and shall start to sew myself a shroud.

My shroud will have pockets in it because we all need pockets.

And you can leave all sorts of things in said pockets for archaeologists to ponder over in the future !!!

Nothing so exciting here. Usually just stale gummy lollies that have molten and are beyond salvation!

I lost my favourite Smith sunglasses (the best ones I've had for spring skiing/touring, and I'd had the frames repaired because I liked them so much) off the deep end of the wharf at the far end of Lake Rotoiti in Nelson Lakes last November, while we were waiting for our water taxi back to St Arnaud. I was all ready to jump in and look for them, when one of the lake's massive eels turned up and showed some interest in what I was poking around for with my walking stick. I could see them, I think, but they were at least 7ft down (my walking sticks weren't long enough, but there were plenty of long branches floating around at the edge of the forest that would verify that) and whenever I touched anything near them with the stick/branch, the eel would dart in there, stir the water/mud up and watch. So gutting.... and probably still there.

Massive eels? No thanks!

Anyone read Bill Bryson's In a Sunburned Country? Fantastic book about traveling through and around Australia, with descriptions of their unique wildlife...maybe he needs to write one on New Zealand too!

Noooo so near but yet so far I've heard the eels in Rotoiti are HUGE !!
