So, after three subterranean years in the country Andy and Kirsty (Davey and Davey soon to become when they get married in March?) said their goodbyes. It’s a shame, with them gone, and Dave Hume and Joe in Wellington – I’m not sure how much more caving I will get to do for a while.
Mind you.. we’ve been having a few earthquakes of late, and I believe some of the caves have had some rocks come loose. Makes things a little more interesting I suppose.
So – that is what I was sorry to say. I will miss them – but I imagine they’ll miss NZ too..
So yes, croquet… and not sorry to admit it at all! Excellent summers evening day. I sallied forth and purveyed the local croquet lawn yesternoon. Or something. It’s only $100 or so for a years membership – and that gives me free reign to bring friends (from time to time) and use all the equipment etc. And as the world championships (yes, they exist) will be played here in 2007 (or 2008 – can’t remember) one has to assume they’re fairly decent lawns.
anyway – Graham and Myra came down for a game.. they even said they enjoyed it!
Me – off to Wellington for this project management course. Not feeling remotely confident about it, am looking forward to a lesson in humility as much as project management! :)
However! my amazing cousin Thomas (and his lovely wife Paula) are back in Palmerston North this week – I am so looking forward to seeing him. He is working amazingly hard in a NGO / UN lobby position – trying to ban / stop the use of cluster munitions. He went to Lebanon recently after the invasion – crazy stories… so I am looking forward to catching up.
And beating him at scrabble… every time we meet up (to date) have played a few games, he’s the current holder, but only ‘cos he had all the high point letters ;)
honestly :)
