The train travel was free with Metro continuing free fares until the end of June. While this doesn't affect me financially, as I have a Gold Card for free travel, there was an advantage in that the time bracket for oldies to travel is suspended. Usually this means having to travel between 9 and 3 - ie. outside of rush hour.
I enjoy travelling by train as it is generally comfortable and there's lots to see out the large windows.
The trip from Wellington to Kapiti coast is nice with much of it with the sea as a view. Yesterday the sea was wild with fairly big waves crashing in around Paekakariki.
My sister was well and I helped her out with some shopping before heading back into Wellington.
I'd dressed warm expecting much colder conditions but had to take my pullover off as I was too warm.
My knee was giving me a bit of gyp - I hurt it at tennis a couple of weeks ago - and am hoping that it'll come right soon. One of the things I look forward to in Wellington is walking from one side of the city to the other - exploring old haunts, discovering new things and hopefully, keeping my fitness up.
I brought my laptop along so that I can blog on it. This is much better than battling with an iPad as obviously it has a decent keyboard and all the functions that my desk-top computer has. I'll leave it here in the flat for future use.
It will be ideal for editing the newsletter for the old folks organisation I'm involved with.
As you can see in this post I can download photographs from my phone, something that I haven't mastered with the iPad. This of course is all in the interest of keeping this blogging community up to date and interesting - something you won't find from the now defunct Robert's blog and Richard's Bass Bag which is becoming like one of those annoying advertorials on TV - "Buy now!" rubbish.

Thank you Google Administrators.
I accept the REASONABLE categorisation.
I find it difficult though, to accept the recommendation for ROBERT the catholic guy. Are you nuts? Have you read the shit he produces? Oh, that's right, he deletes it all before most people can get to read it (lucky them).
I'd be interested* to find out what your categorisation for Richard's bass Bag is- REASONABLE, UNREASONABLE, SHIT, PATHETIC, AVOID-AT-ALL-COSTS.
*Not really.

That site currently rates as EXCEPTIOMAL!
You are lucky to be in the presence of perfection.
We suggest that you sit back and learn.

Obviously we meant EXCEPTIONAL.
There you go, even google makes mistakes.
We are off to the Embassy cinema to watch Bladerunner Director's Cut.
This is a much better fantasy than the 'exceptiomal' Ricrnms Boss big.
