One of the real downsides of living out of the city, is that when you do want to go into the city to visit your mother on the last day of a long weekend, you realise that you will most likely be stuck in traffic with all the returning holiday-makers, and then you think, just build the highway (Transmission Gully) already!
So, long story short is, the kids have been taken to the pool by their dad, and I'm doing more washing. Probably a good thing, anyway. My older son had run out of socks.

That's the one thing I don't miss since I left Kaptiti for the deep South, that road.
ReplyDeleteThough last time I visited it had improved somewhat.
Where is Mckay's crossing? It brilliant to go over it rather than negotiate it.
No doubt a conspiracy by those tree-hugging whale-riding dopeheads in the Green party ;)
ReplyDeleteAndrei, Mckay's crossing is great. It makes up for going through Centennial Highway at 50K for most of it (they are widening it now).
ReplyDeleteJames, I suspect a lot of heathen secularists inadvertently pray to God when navigating the dangers of the goat track known as "State Highway One" :-)
ReplyDeleteWith the construction of McKay's crossing, we have real proof that miracles do indeed occur.
Still, for all our technology and resources, and tax take, NZ can't build a decent road system between major cities.
The constant traffic jams waste people's time and a lot of fuel. It is sacrilegious, it is.
