Paragliding

Tough choice for today's blip ...

We had a meeting cancelled so I started the day with a MTB ride. I wanted to ride up the track to the gondola, but instead got on another track, which was almost straight up a ridge. Lots of pushing on the way up(!), and lots of braking on the way down. But, good training and awesome views of Queenstown.

Then off to the frist meeting of the day, at the top of the Skyline Gondola. Sitting way above Queenstown the view is simply amazing, and paragliders drift past. It's fantastic.

Then lunch with an industry associate, then a long meeting with a client, and then the drive home.

I left Queenstown at 5.30 and had a stunning drive back through the Mackenzie, like on the way down, many storm clouds and good light. Many I?d like to blip, but the paraglider really made my day ;-)

Slightly madly, I stopped at my mushroom paddock that I found on the way down, and at 10pm at night was running around in the dark collecting 3 bags. Crazy, but worth it for fresh mushrooms for breakfast!

Home at 11.30pm, the things we do to get work eh ;-)
