We have tickets to see Iggy Pop in Wanaka! Used the money we’re saving by driving instead of flying to one of the other shows to buy the fancy tickets that get me a guaranteed seat in the shade and close parking which I suspect will make all the difference to my coping.

I do a bit of local travel - down the coast for fish and chips at Kaitangata, then I start on a journey across to the West Coast (of New Zealand): down to Balclutha, through Alexandra and across to the Blue pools at the head of Lake Wanaka.

Heading West - Stage One
After coming home from the USA and spending several weekends in Christchurch, I don’t leave town at all in September - instead I focus on the things I can’t do while travelling.

My recollection of pantry maiding at Wanaka Tourist Hotel Corp was time and a half on Saturdays and after 9pm, double time on Sundays, triple time on statutory holidays. But we did work split shifts.
But we were never asked to sign away future employees' rights.

Controversial opinion: Queenstown, New Zealand. It’s beautiful but the vibes are like a frat party. Wanaka is superior.
What’s the worst city you’ve visited?

Like That Wanaka Tree, I am partial to photographing the cliché Kiwi shots, & of course Te Kaihīnaki (Moeraki Boulders) are as iconic as they get. But until Weds night I have never been happy with the results.
These I'm absolutely chuffed with!

Anyway did you know that "Māori weren't the first ones here", that "it's terrible they keep adding letters to place names like Wānaka and Oamaru", and "in America they spell better, like "tough" is "T-U-double-F".

"Between love and lust, what is superficial and what is genuine- what does your heart and mind say~?"
"Tell me everything you want, cause I'm here."
Made an artwork for two Wanaka songs that I've indulged, being Aesthetic Sense and Orgasm Anthem! (yes it is real)
so.... many... versions...

I’ve been neglecting #ShowMeYourKnits recently, so here are my Bibliogloves in progress. Yarn is Zealanda Rimu DK, a blend of merino and possum that I picked up in Wanaka, New Zealand earlier this year. They’ll replace my alpaca gloves that I got in Peru 11 years ago that finally (sadly) bit it.

I drove the South Island in 1996 and in the last 4 days. The biggest changes in 30 years:

- Queenstown
- Wanaka
- Fox Glacier

I keep coming back to my impromptu homage to Marti Friedlander's Eglinton Valley (1970) image I took in the Mātakitaki (Matukituki) Valley with advances in Lightroom & my evolving editing style.
It's never going to be perfect as it was shot through my car window early evening on the old Nikon

It's a long drive in but stunning, OR, if you want a really different experience, fly in on a small plane from Wanaka, over the snowy alpine mountains, out to sea, then coming in up the fjord below the level of the mountains... it ain't that cheap but maybe worth saving a wee bit for
