    Maha, Mom, good luck with move.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Truck arrived today, all our gear is now in storage until Tuesday of next week. 12pm Monday we are out of here and heading home. We have moved into a room at the Motel until we finish.
    Immediate plan is to not work for the rest of March, take things easy, potter around at home getting things in order, when it's fine ride the Triumph, visit a few Motels to secure some relief time... but more importantly, defrag our brains.
    We have some work lined up already (Motel Relief Management) in Northland, and that work will continue for one week each month for the rest of the year.

    Good to hear. Brains do need defragging periodically
    I came through Mangakino on my way home the other week, looks like a nice spot

    Yip really nice shark & tatty feed from there (takeaway also) the locals like a soft batter but ask for a crispy batter and they do it.

    One more sleep

    This week has proved to be one of the hardest we have done here. Losing our dear friend 007XX has challenged us on a whole new level.

    Today one of our staff has come in and worked all day for us (no pay for most of that time), meaning I could be off the counter to help Mark get his work finished early. We have been sitting in our room for the past hour relaxing! Relaxing at this hour of the day on a Sunday has never happened before here.

    She did it to thank us for the opportunity we have given her here.

    Only 2 lock boxes out tonight and hopefully no calls from the night phone and we are done

    I found a bottle of wine on the desk today from a guest wishing us well.

    All things being equal we should be on the road heading home by 12:05pm tomorrow. We officially hand over at noon

    Ha, just realised you're not moving to where I thought you were , calling in to see the Lions might take a little longer than I thought, but the offer's still there! Geography is obviously not my strongpoint
