Cake. Next exit.
I am not that easily distracted. No, in fact, I am: how is it that the Original Sacher-Torte has been the most famous cake in the world since 1832? Did it become world famous as soon as it was invented in 1832. or had it been around for years and gained global fame in that year, for reasons undisclosed?

It took years for me to discover the meaning of Tort. I would ask lawyers and they would reply with something to the effect of "it's a civil wrong," as if that meant anything. Then they would change the subject. I concluded that students at Law School took an oath to guard the secret of Tort.

Tres Orkland for 21.
Word. The evening of Valentine's day was especially tragic this year: so many couples, she dressed up to the nines, he dressed like a sack.

The trouble with drugs that make you feel better but don't stop you being infectious should be obvious: you get up from your sick bed and go out spreading the flu to everyone else.

The men are huddled together, the women are talking to each other; the women dance, the men watch: seems a realistic interpretation of a New Zealand party to me.

Thank goodness for our bold, decisive hero who (unlike them so-called experts) knows that aid just needs to be reduced to a matter of attracting more tourists like himself.
A cheap holiday in other people's misery, as someone once said.

The Brits reckon you riding the elevator will kill you.
Not the elevator, the strangers in the elevator: it is best to maintain the English tradition of avoiding people to whom you have not been introduced, especially when they are children, or black.

I would have looked it up on Internet, but I am in library full of young gentlewomen. Had I been seen looking at such things, I would have been ruined.

Oh. I've just noticed that I typed "booty camps". I meant "booty claps".
I am still no better informed.

I cannot think of or find a McCahon that matches your description; but then, I am no McCahon expert. Most of his Muriwai works were made about 1973, and those that are not oils are usually acrylics. He also made drawings of French Bay in Titirangi , around about 1954-56; these are mostly gouaches. Most of his works in ink date from the 1940s and their subjects include the Otago Peninsula.
For a pleasant distraction on a Friday afteroon, you can browse or search the McCahon Database.
