The other great saviour...COMEDY

This morning is the first truly autumnal feeling morning we've had since my sojourn to Christchurch and I have to say there's something kind of nice about it. The crisp, fresh air (the winter smog has not yet set in!) the turning trees and falling leaves; in many ways autumn is the saving grace for Christchurch, a city that for me has very few redeeming features except family and old friends.

What I omitted from my blog of yesterday evening is that comedy is, much like music, a saving grace in times of political infuriation. For those who don't know, I am an ardent cellphone spurner and techno-phobe - the link a friend just sent me to a skit by Irish comedian David O'Doherty is well worth watching. It is, quite literally, LOL material!!!!!!!!!

  1. You have a blog now, Charlie, so you can't be that much of a techno-phobe any more! Tis true that you don't have a mobile phone. But you do have a mobile stone!
    I love the photo you have at the top of your blog - I have a photo on our wall from the exact same spot, when you, me and andre did a dayhike up in arthurs pass. Happy days.
