What a day!

Hi everyone. I woke up this morning to a crisp, but absolutely beautiful day. The forecast for the rest of the week also looks very good. So the fine weather made my day. My journey took me to a town called Nelson. It is literally a hop over Cook Straight. It is a 25-minute flight from Wellington and must be one of the most scenic flights a person can experience. There is a ferry trip as well, which apparently is even more spectacular. I will do that next time!! I can’t wait for next ime! He he!

Back to the flight. It as been a long time since I have seen such clear skies as today. This gave my eyes a bit of a sensory overload. With beautiful views of the Alps, the sea below and the many islands that form the Marlborough Sounds, it was truly an amazing flight. Unfortunately my camera was in my other bag. But I did take some photos of Nelson.

Nelson today left me speechless. Stepping out from the airplane Nelson feels like you step out into a different world.  It has an atmosphere that relaxes your very soul and mind. Very tourissy type feel to it. My mode of transportation was Hyundai Tucson. It was my first experience driving a Hyundai vehicle and was pleasantly surprised with it. The car provides a very comfortable ride and I like the fact that I sit a bit high in the vehicle.  In Nelson I call on a public and small private hospital.

The reason for my visit was to follow-up on a product trial. It seems that it is going well, but a few concerns have been raised and to solve it demands thinking outside the box. Not for me so much, but for the theatre. They do like the product, but it does challenge some of their practices. So it all depends on if the product will solve a problem and then if they are motivated to change. The product is more than just switching from one supplier to another. It causes a new way of thinking and working. Furthermore, what makes it even more difficult is that the real solution lies in the sterile services, while the product will be used in theatre. What a conundrum!! It is a synergistically relationship between theatre and sterile services. In the small private hospital the process is going to be much easier, since there is just a change of supplier for the customer. It is for dressings that will be used in theatre. My price was accepted and now the product trial will start. That will happen next week. You can do it!!!

 Enjoy the photos. The rest I have posted in Facebook!

    Ja, die bome word spesiaal so gesnoei, maar in die somer sal dit pragtig wees. Jy laat my mond water met hierdie foto’s. Kan ‘n mens in die somer swem of is die water te koud?

    Liefde.

    ‘n Klassieke foto van die hond wat die water van sy lyf afskud. Kyk die agtervoete is in die lug … met die streep water agter hom soos wat hy uit die see uitkom!!!

    Liefde.

    Ja die hond was regtig ougat. Was vol lewe. Kan nie swem nie. Hy hardloop of sit in die water. Hy was kostelik.

    Nou ja toe, jy moet baie geld vir die volgende paar jaar spaar. Ons sal die huis koop, maar as ons dit klaar gedoen het, sal daar niks meer Rande oor wees nie. So, jy sal vir ons moet sorg. Hoe klink dit??? Ons sal sien of daar nie dalk intussen ‘n skoondogter bykom nie. Dan praat ons weer!

    Liefde.
