Cricket

A windy day, but sunny and dry, so pretty good for Dunedin cricket. Today was my first time to umpire second grade cricket, so I had to check the rules, but luckily there are no fielding restrictions or any other rules, except for the ten overs maximum per bowler. As it turned out, that was not necessary, since Kavanagh bowled University Grange 2nd XI for 43 in 17 overs. Yes, 43. There have been ...

Long horn beetle?

My trusty book states that the antennae of the males are generally longer, so this could be a female, but they seem way short. Picture taken: Dunedin, New Zealand

Iron and clean

... our permission to be here runs out on the 28th December, so who would give a job to someone who is supposed to leave in 15 days? However, he has found something to do, in newsreading for Radio One, Dunedin's student radio station. He has a clear voice, and asked in Radio One about newsreading, and he has now read for them twice. He also has to give a presentation on the Spanish Civil War to the ...

I hve been in to Immigration NZ in Dunedin, and they reluctantly admitted that I could submit an interim work permit application by the 24th December and that would allow us to stay here for a while longer. Ideally we get the residence before the 24th...

Bad Taste Monday

I heard this song while up in Dunedin yesterday and immediately thought of... a sparky whom I shall not embarrass by naming. Caution: embedded video contains the type of noise that inhabits that forbidden zone between Bruce Springsteen's music and country-and-western.

We have invited a friend for dinner, and then there is a concert; The Proclaimers and the B52s are playing in Dunedin. I like the former, and Belgatherial likes the latter so it is a birthday present for her. And of course we will have a birthday party on Friday. But today I should umpire; but there is fairly steady ...

BUT, in 6 days, I am moving back home, to Dunedin, which is a smaller area right next to Clearwater, which is right on the coastline, directly west of Tampa. Before I moved over here I lived there all the 21 years of my life. It's... home, in the ...
