Finished off with a stiff G&T on the deck at the lodge. Tonic water for the anti malarial properties# and gin of course to make the tonic palatable.

# yes, I know it doesn’t have quinene any more.

Panorama view from this office. Wavy rail due to panorama function.

Mongeese out to play. about a dozen suddenly appeared and proceeded down to the pool deck and just ran amongst those who have to be standing on the pool deck.

Needs some work, but we finished it.

Buffet menu. interestingly, everywhere we went there was a menu but the individual dishes, baies marie etc. are not labelled..

i’m happy to say I’ve introduced the family I am travelling with with a product called Doom. A mosquito insecticide. They were unfamiliar with the practice of spraying a room for mozzies.
 
On to the Whangarei office where the NZ weather was living up to its reputation.

Always good to be at a rugby ground that still has a hill.

It gives a ground a soul.

Referees are always full of helpful and encouraging pre-match advice for their mates, “what every you do out there, just don’t f#*% up”. 👍

Sadly the NZ weather did not make for a good scrum day.

Whangarei, New Zealand.

For the record, Northland 35 def. Manawatu 18 and the refereeing was outstanding. 😉

Appears to be advertising the ever-more common vinyl wrap. I'd say it's the business owner's car.

The numberplate was vinyl so I guess it was advertising. It sure gets noticed.
 
The London office door needs a clean. Take it out of the bond? 😉
