Well, it was off to Wellington for the weekend. Maaike had been sent by CPIT to a committee which was sorting out education for the whole of New Zealand or something ;) … So, we split the flights up and had a lovely weekend catching up with Glynn & Jayne & Isla & Emerson. I didn’t take enough pictures (as per normal).. but … some cycling was done, ice cream eating, managed to get a few games of pool in with Glynn.. Settlers of Catan.. good times. Oh, and cronuts – the delicious looking thing on the right – a cross between a croissant and a doughnut.
It was also Saint Patrick’s Day while we were up there. Maaike (with some help from little Isla) made a lemon cake, which was delicious. I also got to hang out for the day in New Zealand’s hottest tech startup Xero where my friend Ronan whom I went to primary school with works. I worked remotely for the day, but we did have time for a quick pint after work.
Oh, and finally, we had a 100 year flood (second in 30 years) in Christchurch. It was really, really wet! It’s the same bridge in the photo, before and (slightly) after. You really feel for the people who have been damaged by earthquakes and now flooded (especially as the water table as altered in some places so now some places which weren’t so flood prone now are..)
