It's a public holiday tomorrow (Friday is Waitangi Day in New Zealand). There is a feverish tinge in the air helped along by the thousands of out-of-towners on holiday currently invading Wellington for a long weeked of rugby, people in ridiculous dress-up outfits to watch the rugby, and drinking beer in front of the rugby. Basically - there are a lot of jocks in town. The only solution is to scurry away from my city centre flat and hide out in the beach suburbs. There are worse things in life.
