Truckin'

 Apologies for the lack of posts here in recent days. Cerian, Aneirin and I have been driving up and down Te Ika a Maui's Highway One in an elderly and possibly consumptive truck, retrieving massive lumps of furniture from the garages and cellars of relatives and friends who may have doubted whether we would ever return permanently from Tonga and resume life in our West Auckland villa. We're moving back in tomorrow, and I'm looking forward to some quality research, blogging, and barbequing time.

In the meanwhile, here are a few shots taken somewhere inside my head, an object which hasn't quite decided whether it is floating down Highway One, through the gorges and pine plantations of continental New Zealand, or along Taufa'ahau Road, past smelly lagoon water and pigeon-hunting mounds and stalls selling bananas the size of mortar shells.
