The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere
As previously noted the family home has been sold. The settlement is due soon.
The last day is done for us, spent cleaning by someone and packing the car and stuff by someone else.
So just about 20 years to the day.
The view still looks good.
As ever late with post but I have been occupied with moving!
So I am writing this sitting in France.
I spent Friday and Saturday, the first two days, at the Basin Reserve. The second day with Joseph. The second test of three between NZ and England- the first well won by England with help of the Black Caps not being able to catch the ball.
Both days were good to watch, more so the first. Sitting on the bank was a bit hard on the backside after two days. The sun was strong but thankfully there was sunblock available at the ground for idiots like me who forgot their own. There were however a few middle aged blokes worse for wear by the end of day one- I am not sure how you can afford to get pissed at those prices!
I was hoping for a NZ win in the hope they could make it to the test match series final at Lord’s in June. Alas- no. England were the dominant team and won with ease in the end.
It was great to go on the field during the lunch break- the surface is like a carpet. Kids playing and adults playing like kids.
