Badminton trip away

This is the view from the deck:

Recently, I had to play tow Veteran's ties in Whangerei, which is a city about 160km north of Auckland, which is where I live.

It involves a day's playing of badminton with other silly old folks. We won one and lost one. Oh well, cie la vie.

To grab the opportunity, we decided on a four day weekend, staying at a place called Tutukaka, which is about 30 minutes from Whangerei. We stayed at Pacific Rendesvous Motel.

On the Sunday we did the trip to Russel and back, which seemed a lot longer and windier than it did on the map!

Big deal:I moved my computer.

Yay! Moved my computer from the garage (freezing cold and drafty!) to Rose's "sewing room"

I have moved her one too, so we are now sitting in the same room when computing. That is, me doing this sort of thing and her doing Runescape. I'm not sure if Runescape is a good or bad thing. On the plus side, it allows contact with other people and a certain amount of brain exercised might be involved! On the negative side I cannot see where you actually accomplish anything.

Running: does not seem to be getting easier-in fact it seems just as hard as ever.

Where I work has just been bought out by a Singaporean firm- It should be fairly interesting in about 3weeks time to see what changes this might bring.
