vilakins | At last!

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.
