For the last few months I’ve been watching a pile of sand slowly change shape. It’s part of an exhibition at work and is designed to shift over its time in the gallery. I thought I’d taken a picture of it on opening day, if I did I can’t find it but this is what it looked like yesterday.
Epic pretty much sums up the last few weeks. Te Matatini was followed by Womad, another fantastic weekend of friends, food and brilliant music. When I got home I realised that, between those two events, my love of a good T-shirt might have also become a bit epic.
In my defence a good number of those on the right are to be gifted. Holding on to the fact that I’m supporting local businesses and artists.
After a month or more of hot sunny weather it’s feeling a bit autumnal. On Wednesday the weather app wasn’t helping - 13 feels like 3.
I’ve spent the week at Te Matatini in New Plymouth. It’s the biannual Kapa Haka festival/competition and this year it’s the biggest ever, 55 teams competing for 12 places in the finals. It’s been epic and today, the last day, is shaping up to be the same. We got here super early by our standards and joined the queue.
