“I had a game with another<br />
patient where we would try<br />
to do the most crazy thing we<br />
could think of while attached to<br />
the pump. So I scooted around<br />
the wards with it. But then she<br />
brought in a unicycle and carried<br />
a baby around while attached<br />
to her pump. That was hard to<br />
beat,” he laughed.<br />
He also has fun with the<br />
hospital staff.<br />
“We play a game with the<br />
anaesthetist where he will set a<br />
total for me to count to before I<br />
fall asleep,” he said.<br />
He said he had beaten the<br />
anaesthetist a few times, but<br />
sometimes he would cheat.<br />
“I would pretend to push the<br />
button that started the drugs and<br />
start counting, by time they had<br />
realised that I hadn’t pushed it<br />
I had already counted to about<br />
10,” he laughed.<br />
Jonty attends Cashmere<br />
Primary School and will be<br />
starting year six next year. He<br />
loves to draw and has taken to<br />
designing houses. Earlier in the<br />
year, he designed new railroad<br />
lines for Kaikoura to replace<br />
theose earthquake-damaged.<br />
While he does get tired easy,<br />
he loves to get out and play<br />
sports including touch for his<br />
school and hockey for <strong>Southern</strong><br />
United.<br />

The one thing that really gets<br />
under his skin is he can’t eat<br />
sushi, unless it is freshly made,<br />
because of his low immunity.<br />
“It annoys me. I love sushi,” he<br />
said.<br />
Jonty has an older brother and<br />
sister.<br />
Olivia, 20, recently raised more<br />
than $2800 for the foundation<br />
by running in the Dunedin<br />
Marathon. His brother Angus,<br />
18, who he just calls ‘Gus’, is an<br />
idol of Jonty’s.<br />

LICENSED SALES CONSULTANT REAA 2008<br />
This has been a happy family home for many years, but a change in circumstances creates an<br />
opportunity for another family to move in and enjoy this lovely property. The views are hard<br />
to beat, across the city to the mountains and sea beyond. The substantial home is configured<br />
to offer great flexibility for all sorts of households, with a semi self-contained area that could<br />
be fantastic for extended family.<br />
The main areas of the home are upstairs where living, dining and kitchen are open plan, all<br />
with aspects of the view. The living room opens through ranch sliders to a wooden deck that<br />
wraps around the house and also connects to the master bedroom. A large kitchen area with<br />
room for casual dining is a few steps up from the living spaces and connects to a private and<br />
sheltered outdoor area at the rear of the property.<br />
The master bedroom has an ensuite, and there are two other bedrooms upstairs along with<br />
the main bathroom facilities, which are separated into 3 rooms, making it a practical and<br />
convenient home for busy households. Downstairs a spacious entrance and stairway area<br />
opens into a double bedroom with adjoining living and kitchen area, which in turn connects<br />
to a large games room. These are all generous spaces with myriad uses. The whole downstairs<br />
area has it’s own large outdoor area where of course the views take centre stage.<br />
There is a double garage with easy drive on access and off street parking. The timeless design<br />
of the house offers the next owners potential to update without breaking the bank. Whatever<br />
the next owner plans it will be the views that capture the heart and spark the imagination.<br />
