Purple Haze . . . Jimi Hendrix

 It was out to lunch today with Bev and Andrew and on the way home he detoured so I could see the street with the Jacaranda trees down the middle.  Quite a sight. 
While at lunch we heard our Prime Minister has announced she won't seek re election this year.  I thought I would mention that in the reaction to this the leader of the opposition sounded like a grown up and treated his opponent with respect.  A refreshing change in politics.  
On behalf of the National Party, I offer to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern our thanks for her service to New Zealand.
She has given her all to this incredibly demanding job and I wish her and her family all the very best for the future. Thank you Jacinda.
