I had a romantic interlude over the weekend, having travelled down to Auckland and shacked up in our pied-a-terre for a few days. It has been a strange year with the Old Girl travelling a lot to Auckland and other cities to the point that she is away every week for at least a few days. Years ago when we were living in Christchurch I used to fly to Auckland every week for three or four days whilst she stayed home so this kind of balances things up. Last week Lynn was in Auckland all week and then this week will be further down country for a week without having had the chance to get home for the weekend. I decided to have our weekend together down there and am glad that I did. Apart from the fact that she had to work Saturday we had lots of time together, nice meals and some catch up with friends. On Sunday we went for a long walk down to Western Springs lake and park. This is one of Auckland's treasures and is well worth the visit. It encompasses MOTAT (Museum of transport and technology) and the Zoo so is a special place. We lived in Point Chevalier for years and only seldom went there. How stupid were we?

Glad you enjoyed your weekend old man.
Thanks Richard. Its good to get away sometimes and behave like a young bloke again.
It's not compleely clear.
Was this romatic interlude with your long-time partner or someone else?
You spotted it. Of course it was with the love of my life but the different setting added a bit of spice like being on holiday.
