The Party. Well, my urge to write about Friday night's housewarming has been lost, as have gigabytes(potentially) of data I collected at the party. I really enjoyed it. A few people did stay away, but I'm sure that was due to the ill weather - the unwelcome rain put a damper on things. Chatted with a few people I hadn't seen for a while, and also some I hadn't seen before at all. Caught up with Emma Morrison - a friend of Michelle's from way back, and sister-in-law of Michelle's matron-of-honour. Also had a good chat with David (I don't know his last name - isn't that bad?), boyfriend of Charlotte Reynolds, (who, incidently, is the daughter of Peter Reynolds(see post below)). David is from the Solomon Islands, and is studying at Auckland University. A top bloke, who is studying business law, (and marketing too I think). He has a real vision to take his skills back to the Solomon's and use them there. He was telling me that the Solomon Islands have a wealth of natural resources, and could be a very rich nation, but for the fac that they don't have the business skills or initiative, and have spent a considerable amount of time fighting amongst themsleves lately.
Sapporo beer is very cool. Although I haven't found them on the Sapporo site, they come in the coolest cans ever - shiny silver with curves, and are 650mls in volume. Nothing at all distinctive - a very unassuming flavour - yet really tasty and very drinkable. I have one left in the fridge.
I have to go to a lecture now.... you all enjoy the rest of your day.
