A few months ago, at the National Library, there was an exhibition about Manapouri and the protest movement that is synonymous with the name. It was an interesting show to see if for no other reason than for it's mix of art and history.
As part of the show I saw a book which I never knew existed. I thought it looked interesting. An early (1960) New Zealand conservation treatise by J. T. Salmon. I tracked down a copy at Wellington Public Library, and then a purchasable copy at Bibliomania - fine books, fair prices indeed. It arrived the other day - five days after ordering it. This internet thing is great.
And the cover is so cool. Both of its time and timeless. A bit like the contents (if you ignore all the legislation and Government Department stuff).
And my latest project is getting some coverage. Not as much as we'd like of course. But at least some people are paying attention.And, just cos I know you're all so very very interested, hockey is starting in earnest this weekend, i.e. the result actually means something. And Wellington Hockey has been kind enough to post the schedule for Round One. So here's my next few Sundays sorted for me.

Come along, join in the fun. It's a much more exciting and skillful game than rubgy. And you get the added bonus of (probably) seeing me get hurt. What more can you possibly want in a sports game?!
