Greatings from Aotearoa

Hello, and welcome to a little window into our life.

This blog is basically our way to stay in touch with all our friends and whanau. A way to stay in contact with our local community when we travel, and an out-reach to those all over the world.
We are currently situated in Auckland, Aotearoa.

I (Ruth) am an artist, currently studying screenprinting.
I make and sell t-shirts/clothes/patches etc. from home, and sell them at any given opportunity (festivals, shows, online, to friends and family). Its so hard to find cheap clothing which is not constructed by slave labour, so i feel very strongly about creating affordable garments from the bare essentials.
Me and goodfriend/flatmate Bosun are in the process of setting up an Auckland Based Distro called SkullBucket Distributions.

Kerian (also known as Kman) is a musician. Talented in all arenas, he owns numerous amount of different instruments, and plays many different styles and genres. At the moment, Kerian is currently studying Herbal Medicine, hoping to start a correspondence course, focussing on more traditional methods and practises of learning.

SlinkyMalinky is the beautiful feline who joined the whanua in
October 2005.
SlinkyCat was residing under the house we were living at in Auckland Central. It turns out she had made an escape from a local dairy and took to our back patio quite nicely. After being fooled for a few months it turned out there was not just 1 mystery cat, BUT 3!!! This beautifull kitten who was only 8 months old had given birth and was pregnant again!! And her beautifull kittens were the same size as she, so as you may tell, we was a very small kitty.
Good friends from Auckland Animal Action found new homes for the little kittens, and Slinky saddly gave birth to 1 stillborn kitten, in November 2005.
This is when we moved to our current location.
Me and Slinky had made a strong connection, and the flat we were living in was ending due to the sad (and often tearing breaking) departure of Jon Emily and Eabha.

And that brings us to were we are now.
Me and Kerian are both gaining knowledge in hope to start a life for ourselves.
A life for our family which does not realy on Western commodities, and Slinky is soaking up the life of luxury. From Alley cat to warm bed, she is much happier and healthier now than she has ever been before. And much calmer around new people.
