Discerning readers of the domestic-executive blog have requested something other than house blogging. So here’s some retrospective photoblogging from 14 October.

It was one of those “you can’t beat Wellington days”. Sun was shining, a spring breeze and we were at peace with the world. There was high excitement on the harbour too, the Chinese navy were here on a goodwill visit showing off their boat.

As you might imagine it was the ultimate in boys adventure and not to be missed. Also, it was a perfect outing for every Chinese in Wellington to pay homage to the motherland. We were treated to a walkaround the warship to see the armoury close up. I don’t think that there were any military secrets shared that day but plenty of goodwill spread around!
