17 Tick Day

We have just two more sleeps before heading down under once again. It has been over a year since we've been back to NZ and to say that we are looking forward to hugging our kids and connecting with friends would be an understatement. We arrive in Australia on Friday morning and a week later start our 6-week NZ time with four days in Christchurch.

So, today was a 'let's get everything done with a day to spare' day. For me, a '10 tick day' is extraordinarily successful. Today busted all records - I got to tick off stuff that had not even made it onto the 'to-do' list. Now, I've just got some shirts to iron (so that they can get scrunched up in the bag - why do we do this??), a bag to pack and just possibly, a Susie-list to knock over.

Can we help you ... not! Susie was buying supplies at a local chemist shop, but Tarzan was in full flight on the telly ....

Off to market - it is always interesting what you get to meet on the road while running around the city. Here, a motorbike is towing some happy pork to a local market. I pulled up behind these guys at a set of traffic lights.
