Well, managed to get out of my last week of contract work so I can go on a wee holiday to the north of the north island. It's very beautiful up there apparently. It's also very hot right here at the moment, so I'm looking forward to getting as much sunshine as I can. I won't be seeing the sun for a very long time where I'm going.

Will be good to get home....deep fried pizzas here I come! Just not looking forward to the 26 hours of flying time though (sigh)
