Loving how this pic looks like someone's throwing a dildo at him à la Steven Joyce

Outing today to the beautiful bridge on Te Ara Tupua ft the stunning carvings of Sam Hauwaho

Beautiful carvings with the figure of Te Wharepouri behind them and sea visible through them

In lieu of my head exploding over the Coalition of C*nts, here is a timeline-cleansing pic of Poppy with her catnip fish. My little drug fiend...

Sad sad day farewelling our old friend Louis Spaghetti, a bad boy, rock star and handsome tiger of a cat, and our companion for 16 years. Miss you Lou 💔

Part of the charm of Featherston Booktown is the quirky venues. Hadn't been into the RSA before but it was quite a delightful setting for an awesome session with Robert Scott and Richard Langston. The big TV was showing a football game throughout

Robert Scott and Richard Langston in front of a wall decked out with crosses, poppies, a lighted crucifix, felt pennants for different military groups and a TV showing the footie

Robert Scott with guitar, singing, and Richard Langston, both on stage in front of an array of flags and crosses with poppies

A quiet new year's eve with some Vietnamese food, wine and ice cream. Saw some absolutely brilliant Frances Hodgkins paintings at Toi Mahara in Waikanae earlier today
