At last, the shortest day! It's all uphill from now on. We're going to go out this weekend and celebrate with a big slap-up winter meal. Happy solstice of whatever sort to you all!
We so need a winter festival, and I see that some people are promoting Matariki (Maori New Year). I hope it catches on. We have a sad lack of fun festivals here.
Prison Break starts on TV3 tonight. It looks interesting too. On my way to work this morning, I saw a helicopter towing a large black and white banner saying just 'Prison Break Tonight'. I bet it could be seen from Mt Eden prison where it might have raised some vain hopes.

Lost otter
21 Jun 2006 10:56 pmWonderful: I didn't realise till now that Auckland Zoo has Asian otters! I too can go and see otters! And I will, along with the new touchable cheetahs (scroll down).
Worrying: I know about the otters because one of them, Jin, escaped last week. She managed to swim the harbour and has been seen in Devonport. I hope the zoo staff succeed in catching the poor little thing soon. I'm so worried about her, I resisted all the Lost Jin jokes. :-(
