The Mrs and I went to the opening of Borders in Lambton Quay this morning. We had been watching the fit-out with interest. I didn't know much about Borders, but I have an interest in retailing and I like books, so we joined the small huddle of people waiting for 8am.

Overall, I was pretty disappointed. There were some magazines that I hadn't seen before, but nothing compared to a good magazine shops. I might be blind, but that there was no fiction A-Z section. All the books seemed to be categorised, and I couldn't figure out which category my favourite author would be in. The computer book selection was pretty predictable.

I couldn't even be bothered staying for free coffee and muffins.

So, sorry about not posting.

Tracey and I were invited to two weddings, a week apart, so we decided to have a holiday for the week in between. The weddings were great. They were very different from each other. One was in a church and one was in a paddock.

We spent the holiday in our tent. We had a couple of nights at Tolaga Bay, a couple at Napier and a couple more at the second wedding. The weather was great and I was glad we had a break later rather than at Xmas.

Theology classes start again tomorrow.
