16 Hui Tänguru
Well
it was certainly a day for staying inside and sheltering from
the rain and wind - te kino o te Feb Floods. Anyone would think
it was winter which makes me wondering what the heck is going
to happen when we actually hit the real makachilly season. Anyway,
keep warm & safe y'all.

Happy
pakeha new years everyone... hope it was a good one. And if you
made a new years resolution - good on you. Here's a little wisdom
for you to help you on your way - One seventh of your life
is spent on Monday. - Make of this what you will.

Today
as I shook the bugs out of my warewhare 60cm faux tree that comes
with glued on decorations, lights that never get removed and only
half work, I though I'd get a mihi up earlier than Xmas eve this
time. And so on my quick reflection of the year that has come
and gone, here we are again. I
hope you've all been good kotiro mä?
Kia tata te taenga mai a Hana Koko me ana reinatia ki a mätou
kainga....
Nei
te mihi ki a tätou

I
spent today overwatching the horses used in the LOTR parade
pooing at the back of parliament buildings and being transformed
in the swelting heat into scary transport for the ringwraiths
that you see here > |

And
if there is ever a time to brag about one of those chance fate
encounters, then here is mine with Aragorn. Being at Adelaide
end of Welly city anyway, what better an oppo to go and see Viggo
Mortensen's photo exhibit 'Mo Te Upoko o te Ika' up at the War
Memorial museum. Well after going in the wrong entrance and ending
up at the NZSO rehearsal for the LOTR's musical score tribute
to be delivered at the MFC that night, I finally figured that
the main entrance was probably where I needed to be. While standing
in mild confusion at the bottom of a 2-way split stairs, down
the stairs comes Aragorn looking like he's of any hick town -
kore hu, track pants and one big bone carving - but make no mistake
people; he doth ooze starness without trying. Had a quick "chitchat"
in the manner that I believe celebs would appreciate and then
stopped catching flies and left coz the exhibit had closed hours
earlier for some premiere dinner thing.
Anyway,
cut to the motorcade parade 2 days later. Here's a few of the
best piks I managed to get along their way...
