Santa's Little Helpers

Making him a quick cup of coffee before a Wananavu Christmas Shopping Expedition on the South Pacific Rim (aka "in Auckland") Santa enjoyed the trendy markets in Ponsonby, the open air Deli lunch (poached eggs, cider basted ham, sophisticated pies, stuffed Kumra and lightly dressed salad leaves) the session in the park with some of Kirk's NZ man toys (Aerobie, football and "NERF Vortex Mega Howler" easily throwable American football that whistles as it flies...), the vietnamese dinner in Mekong Baby and the local beers. Just glad I don't have to be in work tomorrow at 7am as some other members of the party have to be.
Looking forward to next years Sub Arctic expedition already - it will help keep our perspective in balance
