So.. I kinda made a sorta mini resolution about 2 1/2 years ago that I broke last weekend.. which was never to work the weekend again!. However, seeing as next week I’m off to Wellington for a week of integrating the software I’ve made with other systems.. a little extra work had to be done. However, at least here I’m likely to be able to get the time back (hopefully anyway!). And the good thing is that the work I did meant we could test this week to show what needs to be done can be done.. so… basically what I’m trying to say is that while I don’t have any exciting pictures to show you from a trip for last weekend.. there was a 1/2 decent reason for it!
I did manage to get out to the crag for a couple of hours on Sunday evening with Glynn.. we went to the easy local crag Albert Terrace and led every route there (except for one 19!). Lovely light in the evening on the trees in the back garden (it’s a blue gum apparently)

Did go to see Jarhead after climbing. A strange film, I believe based on a true story… one that Declan might want to watch…
Oh, and just another gratuitous NZ plug.. what with the riots in Dublin over the weekend and bird flu on its way through Europe…. I mean I’m not trying to scare anyone into moving here ;) hehehe, but NZ is a nice safe distance from these things!
And then yesterday it was Shrove Tuesday. Sometimes called pancake Tuesday.. ;) I made batter enough for 54 pancakes (or so) and we actually managed to just finish it. Well, almost, Aroha took some for her and Waricks breakfast.. still.. good times. Still – I missed the golden syrup from back home – Tate and Lyons? or something like that. Kiwi brand is good, but not quite the same.
Good to have Dave back in ChCh too.. his head is nicely obscured in the pic of Glynn flipping the pancake..
