North Island waves, South Island slopes

A beautiful Anzac day in Owhiro Bay, with the Marlborough Sounds and a touch of snow on the South Island peaks in the background.

My favourite thing about New Zealand passing the Marriage Equality Bill

OK maybe not my FAVOURITE thing. But closely following equal civil rights for all mankind comes the little weather bar on the bottom of the Dominion Post newspaper's front page today (April 18).

Their weather straps are always nicely written but this one's particularly good:

"WEATHER: THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE ON THE HORIZON AND A STRONG HINT OF A RAINBOW OVER PARLIAMENT".

Love it.

Also no, I didn't write it.

Spotted, a cockatoo in a flamenco dress

Papped in the Wellington suburb of Island Bay this week: a lady carrying her pet cockatoo through the streets. Her pet cockatoo, who was wearing a dress. A FLAMENCO DRESS. Incredible. I wonder if she ever ties castanets to its wings for fun.

Is it? No... it can't be...

IT IS! A cockatoo in a flamenco dress.

And it's definitely alive

Such intricate detail on the skirts.
