i started the day with a nice breakfast on the way in to work
then at 2pm we headed down to the ferry terminal to do the short hop across to Devonport for our christmas team lunch
lunch was eaten out in the beer garden of a british pub which sold boddington’s beer which was not quite as nice as it is in the UK
i suspect it doesn’t travel well
so here’s my team
jane also went out for a thank you staff / christmas dinner type thing which involved some ‘farewelling’ of staff etc.
kezia has found out she’s in a composite class for next year which means she’ll be in a class half made of her year and half made up of the year above. esther’s had that arrangement this year (being the older half) and it seems to have worked ok so that’s all good.
i got a bus back from devonport back to home which took yonks and involved changing at takapuna in case you want to recreate the route in your minds
the girls had their swimming which was good and then we watched a documentary about New Zealand’s longest river (the waikato)
in other news, i won some chocolate from cadbury’s NZ by noticing they were about to do their 1000th tweet. so that’s not bad.
and we’ve got a fun packed weekend of christmas busyness, so hold on to your hats
see ya
