I left home before 6am to get to my 10am meeting in Wellington. The meeting ran through to 5pm but luckily I’m staying in the same hotel as the meeting so that was ok. this evening I had dinner with a couple of colleagues

It’s bitterly cold in Wellington and at home in Auckland too apparently due to the heating problems.

I phoned the boiler fixers this morning and they said it might be a week and a half before someone can come out to fix it 🙁

we also ordered our deck umbrella and got our revised quote from the gardeners with the extra cost of pulling up the weed mats (and a decision to leave them in place in a couple of places where they can’t be lifted without destroying the rest of the garden!)
