There’s been a lot happen in 2024, most of it good, some of it truly awful.
The awful? Sandra’s wee dog, Bruno, was savagely mauled. I’m not going to document it here, it’s not my story to tell, but we’re grateful he’s still with us.
The good, great, and ok:
- Te Ramanui of Ruapūtahanga, our new library, iSite/AA, art gallery and cafe, opened in Hāwera and it’s incredible.
- Alan’s daughter Debbie married the love of her life, Jason, and we were privileged to be there.
- Pen Kirk and I continue to create collab works together, and exhibited at Left Bank Art Gallery in Greymouth, including in LUSH.
- Alan and I had quite a few trips here and there, including time at the beach at Hari Hari, a couple of nights in Ohakune, and time off grid way at the back of Eltham.
- We celebrated my 60th birthday with a couple of nights at the Okoroire Hot Springs Spa.
- I’ve continued to make art, be busy at work, spend time playing Munzees with Sandra and all the other things that make me happy.
- Tony’s sort of doing ok. Trinity suits him. The rest of it’s not information I can share online.
