Would You Drive In This Stuff?

What a horrendous drive we had back to Auckland Airport today! Yikes.
It was still dark when we left Raglan so we had to cope with the lights of everyone commuting into Hamilton, and then when we hit Highway 1 it was more lights, trucks galore and pouring rain. The good news we arrived safely. It took nearly 3 hours instead of a maximum of 2.5. It took patience. 

There's been more painting progress on the house while I've been away, but I've still not been given the next enddate. I think I'm meant to be practising patience. When is enough patience practice enough?
