Oh Brother!

Arrived into Auckland this afternoon and met my brother's girlfriend Nicki at the Airport. Nicki was on her way back to Auckland after doing some work in Christchurch and visiting her parents in Mosguiel (near Dunedin). We shared a taxi back to their place in the North Shore.

They live in a lovely appartment next to the beach and just before entering Nicki and I had a wee discussion as to whether or not Gregor would have cleaned up for us arriving; I figured he must have since this was his girl friend AND his big sister, in fact I was so confident I even placed a glass of wine on it...Nicki obviously knows Gregz better than I do these days and yes I am now owe her a glass of vino!

Had a lovely sushi lunch with Nicki before doing a bit of preparation for the talk for the Auckland Navs.

Logan picked me up at about 7pm and we headed towards the Uni, I must confess I was quite nervous and didn't really know what to expect. The talk seemed to go well though and it was only a small group. The students seemed quite engaged despite the fact we had the Uni Shakespeare group rehearsing LOUDLY through the rather thin walls right next door to us!
