Going North
I’m just back from a week in the Far North at a librarian’s hui. Amazing stories, fantastic learning from colleagues and we were very well looked after.

Spiders
I spent last weekend at the biannual weavers hui in Rotorua. It was massive, exhausting, inspiring and I took almost no photos because I kept forgetting.
This week was Halloween and creative types have been leaning heavily into the spiders.

Decisions
This is what decision making looks like in our current crazy weather.
Circles of wet paw prints as Huia decides whether it’s an inside day or an outside day. Several valiant attempts at going out but I suspect I know which will win.

Springing
It’s properly spring which means a quick succession of wind, rain, sunshine and drizzle, often in combination. The final sign is the clematis over the bins being in flower.
