This weekend is Labour weekend in NZ, and we and our flatmates spent a night on Blair's family farm near the town of Duntroon in central Otago. We hadn't been there for 30 minutes before Blair coaxed me to let him pull me through a pasture while sitting on a plastic bucket tied to the back of an ATV. While it's hard to beat that kind of excitement (when you get pitched off the bucket, you go sliding through sheep poos at about 45 km/hr on your back), Blair made a worthy suggestion: hunting pidgeons and rabbits with their shotgun. I won't embellish my shooting skills, except to say this: Andrew -1, Pidgeon that used to live in the hayshed -0. Christine had a go as well, and handled the 12 gauge recoil like a pro. We also had a chance to go boating and enjoy a picnic on the shore of a nearby lake the following day. All in all, a great escape from Queenstown for the weekend.
