+4The Peg Leg Tavern (ballad to a Sydney landmark)
Just returned from a short break to Oz.
Had a fantastic time as always; too many great experiences to recount but there is one in particular that I wanted to do a little rave about.

Comedic genius Bill Bailey shows how the U.S. national anthem played in a minor key makes it sound Russian.

Emily Barker Bliss
Another winter is passing and on a dark and stormy night, we built a fire, poured a healthy measure of a decent fiery spirit and settled down to watch Kenneth Branagh in the first two series of Wallander.
While I found the series itself interesting and entertaining, by the time I had watched just a couple of episodes, I was much more intrigued by the theme tune; a haunting folk arrangement which even reduced to only a few bars for the opening credits, made every hair on the back of my neck stand up straight.
+38Walking with Dinosaurs
Decided to take a short break away to Auckland to see the much-publicized Walking with Dinosaurs show at the Vector Arena.
After checking in to the nearby Barry Court motel (handy to the arena and great harbour views) and having a bit of a stroll around, it was time to join a steady stream of people with tickets in their hands and kids in tow.
