How to waste a 3 day weekend full of stunning weather day 2:
Having made a plan to meet up with a colleague at Arthurs Pass, get up far too early on a Sunday morning, jump in the car. Discover the car is rather sulky about not being used for a couple of weeks. Swear. Go back to bed. Wait for it to get really hot before walking over to Repco to buy the jump starter pack you've been meaning for ages to get because you hardly ever use the car and one day you're going to get caught out. Walk back contemplating how heavy these things are.
