Believe it or not this is called Main St

For some reason this picture somes up how I feel about this town. I can't explain it but it does.

Went out last night late late late into the night with Dr L, and a guy who calls himself Johnny G. Odd name for a guy who always appeared to be dull, shy and retiring but we had a great time last night. Just ask an Englishman about British comedy ...

I have discovered a new cure for a hangover. Get up and have a lukewarm shower. Without drying yourself wrap up in a towel and get back into bed and sleep another four hours. You feel pretty good after that but are confronted with a new problem ... what to do our about the damp bed ...

Non-specific Asian restaurant?
Among the many indignities that Asian New Zealanders used to face is the travesty of Asian food in mid 2oth century Aotearoa. Invariably the first course would be white bread. Yes white bread with butter. Half a loaf would be put on the table before bland and overly sweet chinese food would be served.

Dr L just rang and we are off on another adventure tomorrow. Heruharema (Maaori transliteration of 'Jerusalem') was a religious centre and site of the cultlike commune of the poet J. K. Baxter .... stay tuned ...
