Heading up to the land of summer today. The green br is what I’m driving today. The red one is what I was driving when I worked for NZRRS in 1988!

It was really great of the Rongotai LEC to recognise the work those of us who lost our council seats have done tonight. Peter Gilberd is a huge loss to council! Thanks for thinking of us Paul Eagle
