Feeling less than groovy
I'm most pleasantly installed at Jeanette & Kevan's place in Maraetai, housesitting for a couple of days while they are away. I woke up this morning unsure whether I was awake or not - I've been fighting a cold / sinus infection and today was the "I am an idiot" phase. My original plan to catch the ferry to Waiheke went completely out the window as I simply couldn't get my arse into gear. So having consumed my entire daily water requirement as hot tea, I finally hopped on a ferry to downtown Auckland. I hate to say it but this erstwhile lovely city has become quite ugly - maybe it will be better once it's finished. I do like the name of one of the takeaway places downtown, though. Pausing downtown only long enough to buy a delicious but extortionate ice cream cone, I hopped on the next ferry back to sanity. But there was more insanity to come. I had decided that the Franklin pub looked promising for dinner so I set it in the GPS in my phone...
