Spent a very pleasant afternoon in New Plymouth (what's up with the quasi-futuristic site guys?) on business ... the flight on the baby Saab was smooth, the sun was shining, there was a nice breeze coming in from the Tasman, the meeting attendees weren't too hostile (always a bonus), even the hospital cafeteria latte was passable and ... bloody hell, someone went and stuck a great big mobile phone antenna into the foreshore.

It turns out that the "Wind Wand" is a Len Lye creation and that man is bloody awesome ... one of the true heroes of Noozleland art. The flight home was just as nice too ... same tiny Saab but stunning views of Mt Taranaki and the Marlborough Sounds as we swooped unexpectedly into South Island territory before landing in Wellington. Would that all work days were as pleasant as this!
