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.
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.
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 .
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.
The plan for my week off over New Year was to tackle one room a day and get some things sorted. As with all good plans it hasn’t gone that way but stuff has been sorted and most importantly, thrown out.
There’s also been a car load delivered to the Sallies and another one planned because the downside of being a good packer is lots of things hiding in corners.
