Today we walked clockwise round the exercise yard.
The brave soul who was first out through the door broke with convention and turned left rather than right. Eighty-two paces; sixty circuits. But now with a completely new outlook on life.
We saw a new side of Auckland – parts of the city we hadn’t previously been aware of. New buildings; three more cranes; the University of Otago (what are they doing in Auckland anyway?).
It was strange, but even after four days it felt strange, unnatural to be going this way round the circuit.
Perhaps we all need something like this to shake us up a bit, to break us out of our ruts, to help us see the world differently.
