Yup. So far a total of 4 working days completed at the office, and another two before I pack away my Vodem and laptop and head to another beach (This time Mt Maunganui).

Have just completed another Hawkes Bay trip, where once again Amy and I blatantly ignored the warnings of others, bought and ate too much cheese then complained to everyone about how much we had eaten. This is starting to become a tradition. We also bought paddling pools, Pimms and played a round of mini putt putt.

The Hawkes Bay is heaven to the likes of me.

Despite all this swanning around, the new year has kicked off with a bang! I’m pleased the internet hasn’t gone down with the recession.
