'First Day Back'

Ooh ‘First day back’, it is always said in hushed tones to those coming back from their Christmas holidays. The longer the break the more reverentially it is said. ‘Oh sympathies’, ‘oh you poor thing’, blah, blah, blah…

Actually after having a great break with plenty of sun, sand, sleep-ins and Sudoku with batteries fully recharged it is great to be back. Things are still relatively quiet with plenty of Kiwis still away or themselves only just settling in to their first week back - it still really does hold that New Zealand largely does shut down over Christmas and summer. So it is great to be back and meet 2010 head on. I am confident we are in for a positive year and personally I am looking forward to working with our great team to embark on our work this year.
Happy New Year Everyone.
