Car

What's a nice car like this doing in the Polytech car park? Students can't afford this, and staff certainly can't afford it. So there must be a consultant lurking on campus.

Ben finally bought a new roof for his 1989 Candy Car and is eagerly awaiting delivery. He is (we??) going to install it himself.

Lunch at Sprig and Fern

Friends Nancy and Mark love Sprig and Fern on Handy Street. It's a pub, their coffee is good, and they have nice pub food. On Friday Ben and I saw the pies in the warmer and had Pork and Porter (their beer) Pies for lunch. The red drink is their limited edition cider. Their staff are a tad older than other places, so you're guaranteed good service any time of the day, but if you want to go for drinkies you're advised to arrive early because by 5 it's standing room only.

What I really wanted to show you was the tomato sauce (as opposed to ketchup) container that was a Kiwi institution up to perhaps the mid-90's but is fast disappearing. We still have ours!

Multi-tasking

Yes, cup-holders on your shopping trolley. A couple of the supermarkets have had coffee counters for a while, but Fresh Choice on Hardy Street now have cup-holders. Me, I'd rather concentrate on the shopping and then sit down to have coffee, but perhaps busy mothers need this. What's your preference?

Spring

I took this Yesterday afternoon. It was a fantastic sunny day with beautiful blue sky. Our cherry tree is full blossom at moment. (few moment later)

It's not moving! (Clock)

This is the front of this.
I converted to the B&W as I was intended to do when I took this. But I kind like colour one as well.

Red



Last night we went to see the Swedish film, "Everlasting Moments" (2008). A bleak and yet strangely uplifting movie, which may appeal to the photographer in you. It reminded us of the time and care we put into every photograph before digital came around.
