Not quite the White Lotus but it'll serve.

On driving to Queenstown, I passed through Tarras where was a controversial proposal to build an airport. The real headscratcher is why? It's at least ninety minutes from Queenstown and you have to drive through a twisty gorge. It's like placing an airport in Hamilton to serve

The shores of Lake Wakatipu.

Remarkable morning cloud.

A fire alarm at the hotel? WTF! This never happened in the White Lotus.

Greetings from 2026!

The world still in 2025

Happy New Fear! The new Private Eye is out now.

JUST IN: Venezuelans who fled to America are sending Maduro prison mail, trolling their former dictator with memes.

Huh. Just noticed the sunlight has a slight orangey color (from the fires in Oz). Not as bad as it was in 2020 but still....

No ordinary sun.

Wot the Danes should have done about Greenland: Formed a Royal Commission to look at the Country's future with a report date in three years. Then they can quite happily submit a report with the acrostic "FU TRUMP" if need be.

Dawn sky

Filling up car. PAIN. PAIN. PAIN. PAIN. PAIN.

The end of the war?

Droll.

The Spitfire returns to its rightful place.
