Craggy Range

Sipping on a glass of sauvignon blanc from the North Island, just a bit inland from Cape Kidnappers to be exact, as I look forward to a long evening of marking.

Sometimes, I fear that I am simply living a parody of my own life. But seeing a video about the Tarawera Ultramarathon the other night I definitely felt that I have to go back to N.Z. one day. Before that however, I discovered a 50k race in Böda Sand on Öland in mid-June which I am very tempted to sign up for. I am not sure if ultramarathons are really included in Monocle's definition of "gentler life" though?
