Christchurch NZ

My work under the musicians' witness protection scheme has taken me here.

The whimsical 'Aurelia's Oratorio'.

Theatre ceiling.

Hurriedly heating a lasagne in a pot ON the stove, I activated the smoke alarm... which then gave a spontaneous encore performance at 4am.

Aurelia's diatonic alarm clocks.

In my room... a stove/dishwasher!

The time is right for coffee... unless I am breaching my 'caffeine curfew'.

Chess in the square.

Venue: Kiwi Spiegeltent. In the style of the traditional Belgian mirror tent, with NZ themed imagery throughout.

Tent exterior... corrugated - it could almost pass for an 'Aussie' Spiegeltent from this perspective.

"Trundler"... how quaint!

Tram in the atrium.

South Island snow-capped splendour on departure.

Critical parts of my camera turn up their toes... waaaah!

A glimpse of the northern bits of our wide brown land, as we head for Darwin.
