Tony and I in from a date night.  Not our usual Tuesday activity but we had a voucher for 2 movie tickets, bottle of bubbly and 3 tapas and today was the last day to use so we did!!  Samsara was the movie - which was like watching 2 hours of a National Geographic magazine.  Incredible photography but not a single spoken word!!! I couldn't watch the extended shots of people in rubbish tips but the various mosques, temples and cathedrals were eye dazzling as were Asian dancers.
Tony and I were both blown away by the new extensions to the Embassy - we didn't recognise it photos don't really do it justice.
Tony has a great picture of the hallway between the old and the new he might add tomorrow

  • You have been assessed as having a leaky building on ALL your properties miss a turn
  • You were served a full fat latte instead of a trim flat white.  Go directly to jail for barista battery
  • The new Auckland Unitary Plan comes into effect put 2 hotels on each of your properties
  • The communist Labour Party has devalued your electricity shares sell one of your properties
