From An Even Further Place

Having a fine time here out on the edge of the globe. Brocoli and blue cheese soup as a starter for dinner. Shiok. Read quite a bit of Conrad and Mailer on the flight over, plus got to watch Frost/Nixon. Also listened to some highly tasty Holst, and will now be looking for the album - on Chandos, Richard Hickok conducting. Less impressed with the new Springsteen album which sounded over-produced, but will probably change my mind when I've given it a fair chance.

Now four hours ahead of real time and feeling tired after a packed day driving round Auckland. Start proper work tomorrow.
