The Old Girl rang and suggested that on Friday instead of flying direct back from Wellington she would stop off in Auckland and that I should drive down and meet her. As it is the opening night of the Rugby World Cup it makes sense. Not that we are going to the opening game, but because Auckland city is going to burn $3 million of fireworks. As we have an apartment in Auckland we as ratepayers are contributing to this idiocy.
We might as well enjoy it though because it is unlikely we will get another RWC here, or a Commonwealth Games and certainly neither an Olympic Games or a Soccer World Cup. Auckland will look pretty good on the night.
We should be able to see quite a bit of the festivity from the apartment and,
with luck that god-awful Sky Tower that dominates the view will blow up.
