Wellington to Auckland, Day 1

After a Christmas in Wellington with his sister and two little nieces, David needed some rest and took a day or so off and went up North to see Rupert and the rest of the ex-Minnesotan Morrishes

Rupert gloats over his new toys

All Rupert's power tools had been sold by Lisa prior to leaving the US, as they would probably not work in New Zealand. So David was invited on the post-Christmas toy-buying expedition:

Strange Are The Ways Of The Humble
On buying nice hardware he rules
He has used all his cunnings
To entice me to Bunnings
To spend a small fortune on tools.

The four tools in the box reminded us of the Satwothers.

There's the tall thin one:

and the one who goes round and round and round:

David was unfortunately taken ill around dinner time, which led to an embarassing incident [1] at the Albany Speights Ale House.

Strange Are The Ways Of The Humble
And though it may just be a fluke
It seems that today
He has come to Browns Bay
To go to the pub and then puke.
