A blast from the past this evening. Bad Manners being, as always, bad mannered and totally energetic. I don’t think I’ve seem so many bald headed, slightly round, middle aged men dancing madly in one small space before!

The final presidential debate. That Trump look!! Not sure how I managed to sit through the bluster and the excuses. I really can’t let myself believe that America will elect Trump but also dare not assume that they won’t!

Great views on the way down to Wellington this morning and on the way back. Difficult to decide which photo to choose but I think I’ll go with the most blanketing the Waikato landscape. Quite eerie!

A busy day started with a robust discussion with the rest of the interview panel for the appointment of our CoL leader. I was a little apprehensive but am now looking forward to the whole process. exciting times.
I headed to Rotorua for NetHui just in time to catch the end of the discussion about Maori ICT. Then joined in the korero about Digital Inclusion and Collective Impact. Fascinating discussions.
My photo is a glimpse of Government Buildings from the window.

It seemed that a pre-breakfast walk was in order to get our stiff muscles moving. The brisk wind definitely helped to wake us up. So glad that it wasn’t like this yesterday. Here are the minions all rugged up the morning after the day before with a choppy Lake Taupo behind us.

It’s good to see my 17yr old come home from school, get changed and run around the garden with a football. Is he really 17? Oh my goodness! I’m guessing he also had plenty of homework to do! Still happy that he wanted to go out and play!

Drove down to Rotorua with my big wee son to collect the car. Treated him to brunch..pretty good. Always good to spend time with my boys.
