I went

to Auckland today.

I so wanted it to be really hot but it wasn't.

It was warm enough but Canterbury was having mid-20s and, well Auckland was not.

And my bra straps were too short.

I couldn't find a place (being a handicap loo) to sneak into to adjust them cause you know what a pain the butt that is to do all that adjusting to get the straps the right length.

Besides I don't really like being semi-naked in public loo

there's something ikky about that.

I did contemplate sneaking my bra off

when I got back to the car in the airport carpark

and it was 26 degrees at 6.30pm

but that was all a bit too much for me

plus the guys at the petrol station that I always stop at would be scarred for life if I rocked up braless.

Too personal?

I had a fun meeting with some of my sponsors who are really fun

it was a very business and get it done kind of meeting

I like those ones cause then you can sit back and have a joke so make sure you buy lots of Purina animal food products cause they are really fun people who really, really love their animals.

Then the most senior of them asked for my business card and my website

when he said he knew what it is - it made me start for a minute

until I realised he meant Young Farmers

not here.

I snuck down to Mission Bay afterwards

(not that there was anyone to stop me considering they were all in Methven

and not in Mission Bay or even the same island as me)

to sit by the sea and... sit by the sea really.

Did that for about 15 minutes until I got cold so I went to Sylvia Park Mall

A very nice mall I must say.

I hate them usually but this one was quite pleasant

except on a holiday weekend

that would be a special kind of hell.
