Jiggedy jig Part 2
Man N.Z is soo cruisy! Great coffees, damn good eggs Benedict down at Sidetrack Café down the base of the Mount, crazy accent eh bro (apparently I sound like a pom), big meaningless numbers on price tags, walks up the Mount, beach volleyball, smiling and friendly people as you walk past them in the street and the list goes on…
Went up the Mount today and you could see all the way to Pauanui (I think) in the north, and across to White Island, and down to Whale Island off from Whakatane. It was a magic day. Finally.
It’s good to be back. It’s good to see the old man again and take him up the Mount for the first time since his op (admittedly we did take a special spray in case of emergency which opens up the arteries and a registered nurse…). The old lady is still obsessed with bowls, but in her defence she is playing with a former gold medal winner. Met my little nephew Max who at first was not quite sure what to make of his Uncle with the gollywog hair. Sister Josie has twins on the way on Friday – we’re still guessing the sex and their names. Young Zak has grown up even more into a almost gangly teenager. A few things have changed for sure.
Found some work as well through my old Council doing some old coastal files for structures in Tauranga Harbour, so should start that next Monday. Also got a few other leads around as well which has to be good for business. I’ve also been doing a bit of research on starting my own business to expedite this kind of environmental/resource management contracting. So have got a bit of organising to do – broadband is going to be a hassle, need a car, what pay rate to charge? Some market research is required etc…
But all in all a pretty safe landing in a number of aspects. Onwards and upwards. Bring on more sunshine like today!
