Benjamin Franklin remarked that nothing in life is certain, except for death and taxes. But he could have added the Bledisloe Cup - we can be certain that the All Blacks will win it. And a particular Kiwi among us was not about to let anyone forget it:
Our route this last Sunday took us past some particularly scenic bits of riverbank, and some very interesting bits of riverbank development. There was a lot of speculation about where the river might go the next time that it overflowed its banks, and whether it might have been a good idea to build some of the new houses on pontoons....Here are some of Snappy's scenic shots of the walk:
The runners followed the well-marked walking trail, and then added a loop around the lakes downstream of the main road. The last time we circled them they were clogged with Salvinia, but that was all gone now - and we were able to do some birdwatching on the way.
Back home we tucked in to a magnificent and tasty Italian feast, followed by some of the chocolates that Miriam had left us. A great run and a great meal - many thanks to our hares!
And Payback administered down, downs to a number of short-cutters, and to someone who had led others astray:
