Yes please

I need something to fortify myself before I go out in the 36 degree heat and visit Walmart The heat probably means the mindless zombies that wander aimlessly round the carpark will be even more slow and clueless today

I so prefer the mutual respect drivers and pedestrians in carparks have in the UK and NZ I didn't realise it existed until I came here

You do get some 'interesting' clothing choices. I have yet to find a way to take a photo without them realising and I don't want any trouble, they have guns! Did see a quite outstanding mullet the other day

It's slightly more diverse here as well, we went into the next nearest one which is 30minutes drive away. Everyone was wearing camouflage hunting gear [including women and children] and there looked to be very little diversity in the gene pool. I suspect everyone in the shop was related to each other I suppose it's so bloody remote that you have to marry your cousin...

Thanks BEVS,

Maybe we should persuade Catchafire to keep the bar stocked with his own wines

You need to savour those. I was after a right old slurp and glug.

Drinks all round for those in NZ affected by the quakes.
Hope you're ok and that the aftershocks don't go on too long.
