Rufus Du Sol
Went to the Rüfüs Du Sol concert in Tāmaki Makaurau last night. It was pure joy and wonderment.
The crowd at the Vector Arena seemingly stretching to infinity under a blizzard of white confetti.
Sam surrounded by confetti.
Rusty and Melissa - who we met at the show - enjoying the vibe.
Turns out my sister was at the same concert - neither of us knew till we saw each other in the crowd!
Rüfüs Du Sol member and singer Tyrone Lindqvist thanking the crowd.
Today is Bill and I's 25th anniversary. It's the anniversary of our first date, on 22 November 1997. We went to see LA Confidential - still such a great movie.
I’ve been playing a bunch of Canadian songs on repeat today. I made a playlist for Bill which he seems to like.

First paperback edition - Lord of the Rings
Repaired and rebound 1968 first paperback edition of the Lord of the Rings. This copy was bought by my father in 1968, and was the first read to me in the 1970s. Amazing work by @bookbindingetc

Beru island, Kiribati
A few pictures from the island of Beru, one of the southern islands of Kiribati 🇰🇮 - the impacts of sea level rise killing of coconut trees is palpable. The ponds are used to grow algae, a traditional specialty of Beru (seen in the bucket). #billhastings #beruisland #kiribati🇰🇮 #kiribati #climatechange
