Mama says wear socks to prevent bites. I say get out of the festering hole where these insects breed. They might be plague bearing, too.

Jul’s in Opononi, having fun, or so he said, in a text message. Opononi is some backwater in Northland. According to the hostel booklet, one treat is “boogie-boarding on sand-dunes directly into water.”

Minion didn’t come back until late afternoon today.

I got a replacement Archos since my old one was crook. Identical design, but black rubberoid corner things instead of blue. Most disconcerting.

hail, just to say that all the things i send are for using. There is no pont them sitting in the room for the best part of a year. All the cloths are for you mama, and the box you could put on the piano. Aks liv if he wants any of the sheets?

well, bye for now,
Tanya

Hail liv, take my tent if you need one initaly. It is the cheapest way to travel. It will sleep two, or three at a push and is easy to put up.
I recommend lake Garda, which was classy! You should also take a stove as it is cheap to make your own food and such like. I advise macaroni with frankfurtas and cheese. Most nourishing! Palma is a wast of time, but if you go near verona or florance they are woth a look in. Sounds like it could be great fun.

Hail others. All fine her and having much fun,

Love T

We watched a ‘momento’ like film last weekend. Lolo brought it. “L’appartement”. Mind blastingly complicated at first, it gradually became more obvious as the early scenes were replayed near the end. Typically ‘French’, but one of the better ones.

mulholland sounds a bit like memento, in that it challenges the brain and suchlike….

It’s all rather tedious here, what with revision and suchlike – hard to motivate oneself what with it being sunny and interesting outside.

Plans for italy continue, with car n plane booking happening tonight.
