Papa's Pounamu

About a year ago my son bought me a piece of pounamu (greenstone) from Hokitika as a gift. I told him I would keep it in my work bag as a reminder of him and home when I'm away.

With its beautifully smooth texture I fiddle with it sometimes as I'm pondering really important things like the depreciation of a mining truck or a cost escalation formula for a contract, or what's for dinner.

Back in Dubai today.
