So, work xmas do last friday – was on Waiheke Island, at a vinyard. A very good vinyard. With a very very good, very very expensive merlot. Which I consumed a couple of bottles of. Stony Ridge wines. Pay attention. Buy them, and you will be happy.

Waiheke is really very pleasant. I was expecting something much less civilised than it actually is, something with banjos and albinos. It’s actually much like any other small town. I think I’d want to have a boat, and a mooring back in Auckland, if I were actually living there.
