Hi guys, I'll be out of the loop for about two weeks from next Saturday. Off on holidays, so catch up with everybody after 12 February.

Regards,

Back on deck after a wonderful visit to the Land of the Long White Cloud.  8)  Tony, tried some oysters as you suggested, along with some local red wines, great.  :D 

Two dissapointments with the trip. 1/ Couldn't berth in Dunedin owing to bad weather, and 2/ Sampling a local brew, Monteith's Lager.  :o  YUK, thought that it might be better served by advertising it as paint stripper. (He comments whilst putting on flack jacket and ducking for cover)

Anway, it's good to be back home.

Regards,
Gary.

Not a problem Geoff. No text or missed calls on my phone, but you did say that you may have had a workshop on that particular day. Hung around Wellington Railway Station main entrance for about 20mins being entertained by the people dressed up and going to the Rugby 7's, and when you didn't show I guessed that was the reason, so ambled off into town and did the touristy thing.

Regards,
Gary.

Thanks Tony, always good to get home. Did have a taste of those little yummies, a very delectable experience I might add.  :P  Regarding the liquid refreshments, perhaps we should introduce our Kiwi cousins to the wonders and mysteries of Tooheys Old.   ::)  Truely a legend amongst beers, wouldn't you agree.   ;) 

Regards,
Gary
