You could be anywhere back home

We went to watch the All Blacks play Ireland this morning. We normally head out to the golf club to watch the rugby as it is always open in the morning and they have the South African sports channels which supply the feed. We were having a swim yesterday afternoon and we caught up with Matt, who manages Rydges who said that they were going to screen it and put on breakfast. Part of the reason for this was the New Zealand navy frigate Te Mana was in port and the crew were coming to watch. It was on at 10.30 am local time. I walked down at 7-30 (mid thirties). It takes just over half an hour. Went to the gym for an hour or so jumped in the pool and swam 40 lengths (the pool is probably only 12 metres long at best so while it sounds a lot it was not far at all). Worked on the tan, got dressed and met the rest of the crew to watch the rugger. You could have been in New Zealand as there were 60 – 70 kiwis all cheering. The weather in Wellington looked dreadful. Cold and miserable, but so green.
