So this is the way the Environment Southland councillors roll - after the talk, some sweat!

I'm on the bridge, warming up :-)
I had lunch with David Caygill and it was a very ideological meal of ideas.
Very interesting but not especially encouraging given his degree of influence and my relative lack thereof.
He is an admirer and friend of Don Brash.
He certainly has a lively mind though (as I suppose, does Brash!).

How the hell are you making this work Robert.
I am going to be watching ever so closely!

It's a tight-rope walking act Shunda and my work painting the roof is coming in very useful!
How's the house painting going?

David Caygill; he's Labour's finance spokesman, right?

Slips of the tounge eh Inv2!
I'm reminded of John Key saying how he leads the Labour Party.
Caygill was Deputy PM and great mate of Douglas and Prebble, as you know.
Now he's one of the Commissioners who have usurped the Ecan Council.
He said to me that he'd been given a book early in his career, on entropy which he read but couldn't see how that might relate to his political thinking.
I thought, 'you need to re-read it David!'.
