  • Hard News: Off the back of the deck,

    I wonder if Neil's aware that a very big band (at the time), Human Instinct covered this song,

    A propos of absolutely nothing at all, my husband loves Human Instinct.

    C4 streaming from BDO sideline (with Shavaughan talking way too much). I am not feeling remotely nostalgic or envious..

    I would have loved to see My Morning Jacket, Sneaky Sound System, and of course the Wellington International Ukelele Orchestra. Oh, and Neil Young, of course.

    It's on Monday, right? Forget the BDO - there's some hellishly good music going to be played auguration-ally.

    they're $9.99 a kilo at my local shop, Danielle (used to be called Green Rebel - down the bottom of Landscape rd) - and they are yummmy.

    well, I shall have my cherries soon, islander - coming down to Lake Hawea for Waitangi weekend so I am sure that on the way from Dunedin, we will go through cherry country. Will we?

    Oh, how cruel!

    All together now:

    Nous sommes deux soeurs jumelles
    Nées sous le signe des gémeaux
    Mi fa sol la mi ré, ré mi fa sol sol sol ré do
    Toutes deux demoiselles
    Ayant eu des amants très tôt
    Mi fa sol la mi ré, ré mi fa sol sol sol ré do

    GAH!

    Gratuitous use of French on a Thursday afternoon? Check.

  • Up Front: Will Work for Foo,

    It may also be of moment to note that - when any of my family/friendgroup are fraught or - forfend- dead, I cease to be able to work as writer. I can sing ephemeral stuff, I can draw (but not paint) but I cant really write. Pity that people have regularly died over the past 7 years. May this year we are all lively & happy.

    May your family thrive and prosper this year, islander. I, for one, whether you write for readers or not, enjoy the results of your familial contentment.

    Just back from 10 days in Rotorua. And can I just say one of the things that I had dread about returning was to have to catch up with all the postings here. Ne'er mind. Anyway, I went with some of my family to a couple of houses on Lake Rotorua (check out Ngonotaha next time you're down there, it's a pretty little place). Weather was fantastic, the Lake was gorgeous to look at and swim in (but very shallow on the side we were staying.), and I took a lot of books to read. Heaven. Word to the wise, however. Do not return to Auckland via SH2. It's like driving down very wide country (metal ie) road at the moment. Bloody stupid.

    Happy birthday, Sofie, and happy new year to you too. Well spotted on the dogs btw. Have a fantabulous time up North and big sloppy cleo kisses to Stella.
