Beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze (William Wordsworth)

Wie geht's?

Our return to Nu Zild has been a great series of catch ups with family so far, in Palmerston North, New Plymouth and now Waipukurau.

Tuesday night saw us enjoying the company of Mabelle and Gavey babe for a shared date night pizza (Joe's Garage - mmmmm) and a movie: the new Nu Zild film, Daffodils.

We had zero expectations and were pleasantly surprised. The La La Land style musical, has a load of classic NZ songs propelling the story which was, for me, on the flimsy side. But still, even though I'm far from being a musicals fan, it was enjoyable and the chemistry between the leads was obvious. Just a pity I felt like knocking their heads together at times - some dumb decisions!

All up, a great night out! Recommend you give it a burl!

Life ain't nothing but a funny funny riddle (John Denver)

I read in Mojo (world's greatest music magazine) recently that a band called the Guillemots are putting out four CDs this year - themed on the seasons.

SWMBO remarked yesterday that I should take some photos of the cherry blossom

This morning the ipod shuffle threw up Vivaldi's Spring.

Woooo - scarey.

Although some will say it's merely some freakish coincidence, clearly I was being sent a message - do a blog post about leaving the NZ spring behind for a Chinese autumn.

Okay!

You had the lamb pictures last time so it's time for a look at some pretty blossoms, daffies, and the effects of spring's low setting sun on the A.R.T. room.

The blossom was alive with spring buzzy bees - sadly the blog does not come with a soundtrack so you'll need to hum a little hummy buzz (Pooh like) while you marvel at these shots taken in the back garden (one of said bees seen doing his thing in the second shot if you look carefully).

This is the last posting from Hawke's Bay for a while as we head to Auckland on Saturday and then, in the near future, I head towards a Chinese autumn. Should make for an interesting contrast.
