The Piano Man

A last a weekend off - we went to hear Billy Joel in concert in Auckland, the flight 1 hour Wgtn -Auckland the trip from Auck airport to the city 2 hours! luckily we didn't have any plans for Friday night.

It was really good to have a break from building for a couple of days - still felt a little guilty not working.

Very easy to slip back into sitting watching and drinking a flat white in one of the many Auckland cafes, a changed city, not a good place to be 5 years ago but now you can get a decent cup of real coffee almost anywhere in the city.

The Billy Joel concert was on Sunday at the Vector arena which was only a 5 min walk from the hotel, what a great evening of solid Billy Joel, even without hair he still can sing.

The only drama was on Monday with the trip back flight delayed, after we had finally en planed they found some little bit had dropped of the the tail and we un-loaded and sat around.
Finally arrived back in Wgtn at 4.30pm! a usual trip of 1 hour turned into 5 hours...

It was still a great concert.

High in the Sky

At last the roof is going on, if a little slowly, I don't know how the wind knows, as soon as you get the building paper on the roof it starts to blow.
Yes, that's Mrs DIY up on the scaffold, I wouldn't have been able to do this job without help, it's amazing how much braver you feel when the roof frame is covered with safety netting.
