He seems interested in the trip but hasn't said yes yet. Maybe he doesn't want to take his blankie out in the cold .... them norfland folk ......are a bit strange that way.

Yeah, it would be good to catch up - see you there.

hmmm new tyres and an oil change required beforehand methinks

[paturoa]

And do you think we should also take Tuesday off. Site to Auck, including a ferry ride is a lot in less than 2 days!

Just got new storms front and rear and did an oil and filter change less than 1000s ks ago - so I'll be OK.

yeah Tuesday off is a good idea. gets very tight and allows no time for any contingencies eh.
