Walks


It's brilliant to be able to go for evening walks without too much pain. I don't know why I don't do it all the time. First of all this hibiscus popped out and said hello as it lounged around a letterbox.



It's inorganic rubbish time and the weather's great. It's fun looking at people's rubbish. So far I've scored Victorian garden tiles (poozled from the inorganic by sharp-eyed friends), some wood to help fix the mess down the side path, and a giant pot.




I discovered a beautiful mural opposite the Red Baron motor bike shop. I'm having a bit of bother getting the photos up. Maybe later.

Mamaku Project

We love the Mamaku Project's music. I really wanted to see them at the Spiegeltent (which I also love) but 11.30 pm is just too late for a school night. Found that they were playing at the Titirangi Music Festival so we headed out west. Parking was easy and there were loads of seats so it was great for Jim who could move around, have a smoke and find a good vantage point.




This is the band. There was an electric bass too.

As if that wasn't exciting enough, along came some stilt walkers.

They were very good!

Check out those boots!

the kids loved them

Danced through a St Clements arch and ran between their legs.

And it wasn't just the kids that loved them!!!
