Not even summer yet and already a week after sticky tar day. Is it global warming, or road works are meant to survive six months only now.
Today is my dad's birthday, the 1st since he passed. I'm sad I can't be with family this w/end, and as life is too busy I can't even enjoy his favourite treats today as a remembrance. So if you get the chance to eat lolly cake, or great quality licorice today, have a bite for me!

Between travelling Friday and back today, we have seen more road cones one way between the Matakana turnoff and the bottom of the Dome Valley than the rest of SH1 Warkworth to Foxton, return.
