So no one else keen to come to Piha?

I would love to Wazza but cant, its been a long day at work and Piha is
miles away from Torbay

That's ok

Only thing is the weather tomorrow not looking as promising.

Anyway, if any of you can keep Monday/Tuesday/Wednesd​ay nights free, I'll be able to come out on any of those. city shoot or west coast beaches.

May head down to city in morning, if weather ok

Hey folks,
Reporting live from my hotel room in the Ghetto.
I heard there was a bit of rain down there this morning. Weather is supurb up here at the mo. My poor little Escape has been put to the test again. Full to the brim with 200 bricks, plus screeds of brochures, brick slips and CDs for customers.

Potisdad is staying at the same hotel as me.. *looks* not sure which is his car (The sod managed to check in earlier than me, and got the last room last night - so I had to stay at smelly Kingsgate).

Anyway, I wish I had room for my camera this trip. Cable Bay, Taipa Bay and Coopers Beach were stunningly clear and calm when I went through. Very picturesque. It's settled my toss up whether to take a road trip North and shoot away.

PS - found y'all

Thanks Wendy

Heh - I don't actually know what Potisdad's car looks like, so I guess I can randomly go up to each of the other 12 rooms and say g'day to all of them.
This Lodge is generally a 'rep haven'. It's always the first place any smart travelling rep tries to book (if their companies decide they want to fork out the price).

It's my own little slice of Tuscany

I'll be sure and take my camera next time, Wendy. This was a no go because it was the first visit North this year, and with a new set of products. Ordinarily, that wouldn't surmount to much, but when the main product is bricks, it very easily rids any spare space you may have in your vehicle.

D'oh!

:p Well the door knocking thing could indeed be interesting. Love that place that you posted! I cant keep up with you, one moment its websites, the next its bricks, you are very versatile and talented methinks

Oh well, Ive walked the dog, got to do dinner and then some work. I have been lucky enough to get involved with a mate who designs websites for a big company and he is referring the clients to moi for images. I think this may end up quite lucrative . Got my first order today with more on the way.

G'nite all and hopefully we will catch up while you are back home Wazza.

Only versatile and talented on some days. Oh, and Versatile is one of my customers, hah
You forgot underfloor heating, too

And theres a few other pies I have my fingers in. This year is proving to be grand.

Have a good night, Wendy. Thank you for the compliment

I guess the ulitamte test is sales of your work.

not sure I entirely agree with that - sales of work are usually a good test of how well the marketing is functioning, not necessarily how good the product is.

be careful what you laugh at. I'm a firm believer in "what goes around, comes around" stuff breaking & falling in the tide could happen to any of us...
