They say it's not work when you love what you do. Well, this is work.
One view from outside the restaurant, looking west toward Paihia, which is 2.5 miles away. The HMS Canterbury, a Kiwi Navy frigate that is scheduled for scuttling November 3rd in a nearby cove, lies at dock just a few minutes away. This is important, because it'll be pretty convenient for me to stuff my boss in the yellow dinghy (lower right) and tie it to the Canterbury for the big boom boom.
Hey, guess what? Russell is on the water. Looking left from the restaurant.
"The" main drag in Russell. Happening. Too much congestion, if you ask me.
I set up those tables. Awesome job by me. View from the door of "zee Gables" toward the wharf. Still don't know the difference between a wharf and a pier. But I do know that a 'courgette' is just a fancy French way of saying 'zucchini.' The School of Life continues.
This is what I stare at all day at work. I'm looking straight out of zee restaurant. Dusk is cool; the sun sets directly behind the hills on the other side of the bay, reflecting brilliantly off of the water. I'll take a picture and post it for you to ignore.

There are too many English around--I just said the word 'brilliantly.' Damn that pound.
Speaking of solar cycles, did you know that New Zealand is the first country in the world to see the sunrise? Store that for a future episode of 'Jeopardy.'
Me: "The table just said that that was the best meal that they've had in New Zealand. I betcha' they just got here last night."

French Chef: "Zarles, ha ha, zoo are good with peopelll. Did zoo go to the pub last night?"
Me: "Yes."
French Chef: "Russell. Just like New York, eh?"
Ha ha.
And now...Act II.
Me: "The table seems happy with their experience tonight."
Australian Girlfriend (AG): "Why did you put the small plates in with the glasses?"
Me: "I'm a Sagittarius."
AG: "Why were you ever born at all?"
Me: "I'm going to duct-tape your mouth, roll you up in a carpet, and stick you in a chum-filled yellow dinghy bound for hell."
AG: "Why didn't you bring the beer out with the wine?"
Me: "Homicidal maniacs are made, not born."
AG: "Go bring in the tables."
