On the 3rd of August at 7pm I am going along to this debate about Nuclear Disarmament at the Auckland University Business School.   

The moot is "This House Believes the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons is a Pipe Dream".  Speakers for the affirmative are Treasa Dunworth, Akif Malik and Curwen Rolinson.  For the negative: Max Harris, Jacinda Arden (tbc) and Lyndon Burford.  Sponsored by the Peace Foundation, UNYANZ and AUSA International Affairs Officers.   


Let us all go together, hold hands and chant "into the earth, into the sky, hoof and horn, hoof and horn, all that dies shall be reborn..."  Alternatively, we may discover more practical suggestions brought up over the course of the debate.  

You say tomato...

Whilst on Waiheke we stumbled into the Red Cross Shop.  Ben tried on what he liked to call a shirt.  Me and Alice believe it's more of a dress.  He didn't buy it.

Waiheke Goodness.  Thanks Alice, Robyn and John for the great hospitality.  Thanks Cass and Ben for the great vibes too.

Fort Life

When Cass and Alice invited me around to spend time in the fort that they built I imagined that they had probably upturned some couches and laid some blankets down. I was still pretty excited about the prospect.  Little did I know they had made THE BEST FORT IN THE WORLD! 

I'm talking a fort with paintings, flying bird decorations, lamps, hats, cats, garlic bread (fresh from the oven), mulled wine, fairy bread, Gillian Welch tunes and of course, Alice and Cass for company.  Holy moley.  They're the best.  Winter nights are made for forts.

Misty wasn't so happy with the fort situation.
