Well, another fine day is in the offing with only a hint of the odd shower. Lots of new books on the stall this week so something for everyone. Come on down to the market, there's bound to be something of interest.
As an incentive, the first person to answer the following question will be able to pick two free art auction catalogues of his/her choice:
"What is the name of the active volcano located in the Bay of Plenty off the coast of the North Island of New Zealand?"
As an aside, it is always 'the North Island', 'the South Island' and Stewart Island. 'North Island' and 'South Island' only exist on topographical maps. It's therefore not acceptable to say 'New Zealand's North Island', it has to be 'the North Island of New Zealand'. Take note BBC! You've no idea how annoying it is to see the Beeb get it wrong on its damn strapline on the rare occasion we get a mention on the news. And don't get me started on having to click on 'Australia' on the BBC website. There's enough room to put 'Australasia' so why antagonise us? It's an affront.
Where was I? Oh yeah, easy question this week, just bring up a map or use google. I used to be able to stand on the beach and see the smoke over the horizon. See you soon, haere ra, Andrew.
