Today was a milestone in my renewed career in the corporate world. Good to know that I’ve still got the ability to beat my colleagues to submission with my flipchart routines.
There were 50 communications staff from around the organisation together to get a collective sense of purpose and start to bond rather than spit furiously [...]

Three on the trot

OK readers you’ve just got to accept that the Brit’s and kiwis have an obsession with the weather. This weekend just gone has been the third weekend washout on the trot.
Yesterday was a celebration of rain and wind which bucketted down all day and then combined with some wonderful thunderstorms overnight. Lying in bed in [...]
Trouble in paradise

It looks like there are at it again in Fiji – the military that is. Seems once again that they are dissatisfied with the performance of the current political leadership and fancy they can do better.
These coups are a regular occurrence in this small pacific nation. Living in the UK you’d be aware of them [...]

My Dad’s been clearing out his cupboard and the miracles of technology have unearthed some some wonderful pics of my family. This is a special girl’s birthday – yes I’m the one with the fetching pink hat being the centre of attention. Clearly my sense of comedy started at a young age.

As I stood having drinks in the bosses office tonight it was hard to believe that it had been a week since I had last stood there. Very sociable lot the kiwis.
It was a short week in the office and made shorter by the fact I was at the docs mid week getting some pharmaceutical [...]
Photoblogging: the wetest, coldest labour day

OK – I almost give up. There’s been some technical difficulties this week to be able to post my photoblog from last Monday, labour day which was by all accounts the wetest, coldest and darkest labour day in more than ten years.
There seems to be a pattern of weather behaviour that is destined to break [...]

Just look at the rain rolling in over the hills from Wellington towards Lake Ferry. This is a salt lake that heads out to the sea. A hamlet of houses and baches line the side – not a place to linger on a cold day!

AB’s heading north

It was another bitterly disappointing outcomes for the local rugby team. The Wellington Lions were in the final of the New Zealand cup this Saturday playing in Hamilton against Waikato. Despite the number of current or former ABs (All Blacks) on the team, they were still defeated 37-31. Never mind, they can’t win them all. [...]
