Back in Red

I appear to have been a little remiss in my updates of late which is for a number of reasons too numerous to report at this time but which may trickle out if I manage to maintain some sort of renewed enthusiasm over the coming weeks.

Guess where I am?

I'm in New Zealand with me old mate Peter, travelling around in a campervan between Auckland and Wellington. The Lions also appear to be on tour over here and we saw them play Palmerstone North on Tuesday and will hopefully see them play The All Blacks on Saturday in Wellington. I say hopefully as we watched the first test on TV and didn't see them play there but are ever hopeful for an improved performance this time around.

I'm here until Tuesday when I fly back to Australia for five days before heading off to the UK for an interview two weeks today. Ideally I wouldn't fly half way around the world for just one interview but when a chap spends his life up to his elbows in whey and brie it can compell him to do all sorts of unlikely things. There's also the small matter of Tash's wedding at the beginning of August, Peter's 40th in July and my brother's and nephews thirty-something and first birthdays respectively.

It all feels a bit curious but I'm currently rolling with it and having a very pleasant and relaxing time thank you very much for asking.

Thanks also to the lovely fellow who wrote kind words of praise for my previous efforts. Much appreciated and apologies for not filling these lines with anything more informative than a promise of more to follow. How about a joke?
