Heading down to my favourite place for a quick winter weekend visit, we made a wholly unplanned and wholly unpleasant stop just north of Napier.
Parents will understand.
The silver lining to this vomitty visit was this photo, the perfectly still water of a farm dam a tranquil juxtaposition to the harrowing events continuing behind me as I pressed the shutter.
She’s fine now. She was fine almost immediately anyway. Better out then in, hey?
Well, there’s Flashback Friday [is there? – Ed.] and Throwback Thursday, so why not Memory Monday?
Easy way to slip a quota photo in while I’m out hunting swimming with dolphins in the Indian Ocean. And since I’m writing this on Father’s Day (dolphins having comprehensively failed to invent wifi yet), here’s one of of my dad.
A belated Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.

Hopefully, I’m on warmer, calmer beaches than this right now.
Yes, this is a pre-published post.
To be fair, (with apologies to Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat) any beach will do. The resort we’re at apparently offers fishing, but I’m more interested in sleeping and, more than likely, finding some beer at the bar.
Beach holidays, ne? I’ve never really been a fan.
But there’s lots to do here, and the kids are already having a ball. Mrs 6000 is more relaxed than I’ve seen her in a long while. And with a view like this from the bedroom window when we arrived (at night, obviously)…
… it’s almost tempting to give in to overwhelming urge to chill TF out.
I’m working on it.
* photo probably ruined by WordPress’s squeezing and compression uploading tool. Will update when there’s real internet.
I’m on holiday, and not missing presentations at work one little bit. 🙂
In other news, congratulations are due, as 6000 miles… has just welcomed its 7 trillionth visitor.
Yay us.
