You can’t sink a rainbow!

The last couple of weeks Esperanza - the biggest Greenpeace vessel, has been docked to Princess Wharf in Auckland. Around a year ago Le Grand Bleu that was docked in exactly the same place. It was really sad to see how poor Esperanza looks in that comparison. Especially when you realize the purpose that those vessels serve. And now we’re hearing that Roman is having another yacht built for around ÂŁ200 million.
Anyway, I hope this time Auckland will be a happy beginning of a successful journey and not a tragic end like for Rainbow Warrior.

I went to the barber on Saturday morning. It is the same barber since a year and 7 months and I visit him every 4-5 weeks. I always go there on a Saturday morning. I’m usually there by 7.50-8.00 am, so I am almost always the first client that day. I always get the same haircut. So this Saturday was no different. I went there, sat in the chair and then it happened. The barber asked me if I want the usual haircut? It flattered me in a way that I have become the “usual” customer so I answered “Yes, sure”. After the first stripe of 3mm long hair on my head it was obvious that I haven’t be promoted to a “usual” customer - I was just confused with one. So now I look like a convict. Well, at least I get some more time than usual, before going to the barber again… Oh, and no nice 50% Christmas tip for him next year.
