Musings from the shores of Lake Taupo

A long lazy Sunday

It is another very warm summers evening and I should be outside doing odd jobs but I always feel exhausted after my two night shifts at a luxury Lodge just out of town. It is called Huka Lodge and it is where the Queen stays when she visits us. It takes me a day or three to recover. My wife has been down after a brush with pneumonia so at least I managed to hang the washing. Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks but I am not very domesticated. We have elections in September so I have an awful feeling that the Xmas silly season will continue all year.We may well exchange one crowd for another but politicians here are all fools. They are paid more than double the average wage so they have simply lost touch with the bulk of the voters and they do not have a clue as to what is needed. We need a clone of the TD over here methinks.We have Iron Man NZ here in Taupo next weekend so the place will be packed to the gunwales.It is a good money spinner for the town and we took the competition off of Auckland city some years ago.
