    This will also be the Summer of the return of The X-Files - I only just found out Rhys Darby has a role, nice work that man...

    It's weird how this Hard News - Incoming summer' post stays at the top of the Public Address System, irrespective of other more recent posts, and my post numbers are still stuck at 6136, even this one, which should be 6137 one would think (in a sane and ordered universe) ...

    is there something breaking down in the machine?

    Summer in the Square featured The Chills today. And it was bloody lovely. All ages, lovely vibe.

    And one more. As you can see, shade was at a premium and this man was an innovator.

    Thanks, Ian. I would use as my GG guidebook Paul Hogarth's 'Graham Greene Country' (Pavilion/Michael Joseph, 1986), bought at the bookstall outside the BFI on the Southbank a year ago.

    Chilling by a beachside playground in Waikanae

    And an apparition above Paraparaumu (funny the things you learn after 15 years away... Our Lady has been there since 1958 and I had no idea until today)

    We also had (in addition to the Tintinesque rocket), some Seussian-looking flowers…

    Um,no. They happened to be walking into waves with a violin while being photographed by a friend, and this random guy who couldn't resist the opportunity. :-)
