I don’t think I’ve shown you the latest additions to my wall(s) of art. This guy Mum found for me on Trademe: (Despite appearances, it really is hanging straight – it’s just that I had to stand at a bit of an odd angle to get the photo without too many reflections in the glass…
Nobody seemed particularly worried that we appeared to be in the middle of a scene from The Prisoner. This may have had some influence on our decision to start dinner with cake 🙂 After the belly dancers, an aerobics session (complete with Jane Fonda workout tape), and the crowd starts to join in: Not long…
