Bye Sis

I just dropped Tess off at the airport. She's been hanging with me up here the past week.
We went out for brekky on Saturday at Season Cafe in Ponsonby - my cuz works there, so he sorted us a good deal ;) - Thanks Lindz. This is my sister waiting for me to finish taking the photo so she can eat her banana hotcakes - with a side of bacon

As well as mucking around with her awesome big bro, both of us hung out with 4 middle aged Irishmen on Saturday night (with 40,000 or so others).

And cheers to you too, Bono. That was awesome!!

We turned up around 4:45 (gates opened at 5pm). We didn't quite make the first 3000 (in the next-to-the-stage-zone), but I guestimate we made the first 3500, so were near the front of everyone else - and right in the middle, so it was a sweet spot anyhow.

Last week I also had my first taste of dragonboating. Here's a pic of us admiring the boat from the safety of the dock...

Unfortunately, I never actually made it into the water because the session ran over time. Was a shame too because Howie and I were gonna be up the front (cross the line first, hehe :) Oh well something to look forward to next time - and I might even get wet!

Also, I got sent this link today:

Make sure you watch the video at the end. It's really quite inspiring, and you might need to get out some tissues too...
