Waitangi Day


Tomorrow is a public holiday in New Zealand. It is a time to celebrate the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Last year, Jacqui and I joined hundreds of others by walking to the top of Mauao, Mount Maunganui, for the dawn service.

This year, for the second time, work will once again get in the way of a public holiday. It has been that kind of year to-date. The extended UK visit meant we missed the summer holiday season in NZ. And Anniversary weekend was spent flying to LAX.

Thursday and Friday will see us both in Auckland for more head-to-head stuff. When on a roll, go with it. That's the conventional wisdom, but it's a little difficult when everyone else is on the beach. But the next few weeks are a really significant period for Pingar. The rewards will surely come!
