….with cake, of course!
Screams of delight echoed through the office this morning as a more-superhero-than-delivery man breezed into the office, adorned with a giant Samoan flag and holding a very exciting-looking parcel.
Any box decorated with a ‘The Cake Stall’ sticker is certain to be well received in an office full of sugar-addicted women (some more than others, mind).
The box was ripped open, in the typically unsophisticated manner that the pr shop ladies act when in private, and we were thrilled to see the cake was made to an appropriate theme – rugby, of course.
Cakes are just the start. It feels like Christmas in Auckland City today, doesn’t it? Kids wearing top-to-toe black clothing and face paint are yelling ‘GO THE ALL BLACKS!!’ to passing cars outside our office, there’s bunting everywhere and even we’ve leaped on the band wagon, filling our front window with flags and balloons.
Needless to say, it’s an exciting day for Kiwis today. Even those of us who are…ahem…less rugby mad (that’s almost blasphemy to say at the moment, isn’t it?) can’t help but feel the tingle of excitement and anticipation with such festivities.
Hey! Any excuse to celebrate, right? Especially when it comes with cake.
Happy Rugby World Cup opening everyone!
