Red morning


Ode to a Lost Pal

You were left outside
All alone
The party’s over
And you are left behind
They’ve all moved on
Now you are an empty vessel
A memory of a night
Abandoned on the stairs

 


The pace and stamina of experience vs the exuberance and exhaustion of youth ;-)

A wonderful weekend

Had a wonderful weekend with Bill. Started with gym sessions for us both, then brunch at Floriditas where we chatted with many people we know. Then drove up the coast to Peka Peka to have lunch with friends of Bill’s. A quick trip to Hōkio Beach to treat our drinking water, then back to Wellington to catch up with friends for a birthday and then a play at Circa Theatre - “Hope” - get your tickets now!.

Sunday - a very hot humid day - saw us walking through Mt Victoria and along Oriental Bay, then brunch once more, followed by shopping at the waterfront farmers market. A quick catchup with friends, then a visit to The Dowse Art Museum in the Hutt Valley - then Bill preparing for family dinner, and me joining a Wellington Pride Festival planning meeting.
