Catering

We had a big event at work this week and I was on shopping duty. There’s something very satisfying about good packing. 

Weather

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve had it all; rain, hail, wind, sideways rain with hail and the occasional glorious day with nothing but sunshine. No surprise then that this little weather icon has been getting a workout. 

All Set

The big Kapa Haka Festival is every two years but that doesn’t mean nothing is happening in the off year. Regionals have started up and down the country to select the teams that will go to Te Matatini next year. Today I’m all set to support one of my work colleagues, admittedly from the comfort of my sofa but support is support. 

Levelling up

From our desks we look out over planes, trains, automobiles and ferries so we’ve become quite expert traffic watchers. For some of us this has extended into downloading the shipping app but this week someone took it to the next level. 

Yup, we now have a telescope. 

Bindings

One of the joys of working where I do is the chance to share in the passions of expert staff and marvel at the weird and wonderful things that some people make their life’s work. Like the intimate study of the stamps on medieval leather bound books such as these which we got to get up close and personal with. 

Travelling

January has disappeared in a flurry of travel, some for work but mostly for fun.  Seems crazy but I was in all these places over a very busy three weeks .

It Begins

A small number of us were back in the office this week but we somehow managed to hang on to the slightly relaxed summer vibe. The view might have helped, or maybe not.
