6 | #365 - Another early drive up the back roads to Auckland

It was nice driving home in daylight for a change though.

5 | #365 - Mini-me playing with his 'Cars' cars

Remember what it was like when our only concern in the world was, 'which car should I play with next'.

4 | #365 - Spoke at CBC today

3 | #365 - Running by the Waikato River

Was doing study prep most of the day, and in between showers went for a run by the Waikato River

2 | #365 - Rainbow over Waikato

Was a rainy, thunder clad day. Took this photo as I drove over the bridge on the way home. Will be illegal from 1 Nov.

1 | #365 - Petrol Pump

A weird way to start 365 days of photos, but I am in Auckland for the 3rd time in a week and wondered how much of my life I spend pumping CO2 into my car.

0 | 365 - The photo that started it all

Was down by the river eating my lunch and took this photo with the very average camera on my phone.

I had heard about the 365 project, taking a photo every day for a year, and thought i couldn't do it because I dont have a camera with me all the time. Duh. I just don't have a great camera with me all the time.

Have made it easy to just email from my phone, so will give it a try and see what happens.

Finding my way around

When I flew into Melbourne this week I knew broadly my hotel was in the Southbank area, so caught a bus, then the train, then walked around looking for it. Most people, I would assume, would actually look it up on a map.

When I went to the conference yesterday, I knew it was at the Tennis grounds. Again forgot to look it up, so just followed my nose.

Last night tried to lead some friends to a great place to eat. Failed completely, and got sore legs walking around the city, then ended up back near were we started.

Then I realised, that maybe the way I lead is a bit like that. I know the kind of area I need to head towards, but never really map out the way. I almost head there by trial and error without all the details worked out.  Most times I succeed, sometimes I fail big-time.

Broadly knowing where I am going, but not really nailing down the best route.

Hmm

I'm not sure this is a great leadership trait.
