Like the rest of Auckland, I’ve been taking a summer break.

While I was at the beach, some stuff happened but with a view like this, I wasn’t really bothered. In fact, living with no phone and no internet at the end of a dirt track in the middle of nowhere was a nice reminder that there’s more to life than fits down a broadband cable.

On the downside, the clown Bush is still in office and still can’t figure why ^[1] he needs to loosen his tie more often ^[2].
