my friend sam from university days is currently in Auckland so it was great to catch up with him last night for fish and chips on North Head

we then drove down town to watch the bridge flashing along to music we couldn’t hear (but i later found out you have to listen on you mobile phone, so i’ll go again with the family a different time)

the volvo boats are nearly getting ready to depart for their next leg of their round the world race.  the next few days are racing the harbour then they’re off on Sunday i think – right at the same time the cyclone is meant to hit.  fun for them – although i’ve just read they may be delayed

might be fun for us too:  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11416435

i’m writing this on Friday morning while waiting for a man to mend our dishwasher and possibly a man to mend our pool light (if the rain holds off – pool people don’t like to get wet apparently.  there is electricity involved so fair enough!)
