I visited Brasil in 1995 and fell in love with the place. So last night I dashed out to see my only film of the year - the documentary film "Senna". Wow. I'm so glad I did. As soon as I got home I searched online to buy a DVD but it doesn't look like it's been released yet. This is a beautiful film not to be missed. I loved it, and I'm not a petrol head.

A nice word. A need to be true, genuine, real. A need to be special, different. People crave authenticity in their lives.

Two oyster catcher birds are nesting on Warrington Beach near Dunedin.

Another resident who was walking her dog and saw the couple bird-spotting advised the couple about the chicks and pointed out another nest to the couple.

A local resident spotted the popular Hectors Dolphin at Warrington Beach near Dunedin early this evening.
A small school of 2-3 dolphins were sighted not far off shore, cruising the length of the beach area, eyeing up the two lonely surfers in the still night.
Warrington Beach is a popular spot for dolphins during the summer months.

Today I had the pleasure of visiting a back specialist.
I only had to wait two months for an appointment, and thankfully didn't have to pay for it.
I then went and got an xray, and found out the normal charge is around $90.
Then off I trapsed down the corridor to my next specialist to make an appointment.

The local fire wood trade must have been doing a boon trade lately.
Here it has been the coldest in living memory for many people, snow to sea-level, and the surrounding hills. It just keeps coming.
Today is no exception.
The rain, hail, sleet and snowflakes are pouring in while the sea is a mass of high seas.

Snow hit the southern region of New Zealand today.
Snow flurries cut across the Otago Penninsula, and it's surrounding villages and townships.
An unusually cold snap, particularly down south seems rather odd to me. I also woke up to the news of a mini-tornado in the Taranaki striking and flattening a house.
A cyclone also struck China today.

What a relief to finally have access to something on the big screen commmunicating a message to the mainstream about the type of society we live in and are subjected to.
The up close and personal images of the person running a major economy of the world on camera pondering his next move, quite uncomfortably while a crisis is unfolding is quite remarkable.
