Pub quizzes seem like a perfect way to spend a winter’s evening. My Southern Cross quiz team hasn’t ‘competed’ for a while, and I miss those nights; they are always fun and we have a knack of winning spot prizes … we may have even won a round once.

For some, this means life revolves around boats and sailing. For me, I’ve been sailing only once, not in New Zealand but in Vancouver.
