note sure if the difference in colours on these police cars is significant.  i’ll make it my business to find out and let you know.

some building or other

i climbed up a huge staircase to get to a road just behind this building only to find the meeting i was heading to was way down the other end of the street which was at the same level as where i started so it was a big fat load of wasted effort

a great breakfast

last time i went to Wellington i arrived a couple of hours early for my 9am meeting so i went to the train station and had sausage and bacon and toast and an unspecified  hot drink overlooking the train concourse

that was all good until people started arriving on their trains and i was like a window display depicting ‘man eating sausage and bacon and toast with an unspecified hot drink’

church post box

a post box (and two bollards) at a church which looks like the postbox (and not the bollards).  would be good to have a teeny weeny post box next to the wooden postbox.

bollards

i felt disappointed by the lack of variety in the new zealand bollard selection.  until we went to watch a local triathalon where they had pop up bollards and mini yellow weetbix ones
