		<description><![CDATA[Having escaped the big city rugby booze-fest this weekend, we got up early and headed to Martinborough for the first fair of the year (it&#8217;s held on the first Saturday in both February and March so you get 2 chances). Now having been a number of times, we are pretty quick at getting around the [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The wonderful Peter Dinklage won a Golden Globe (and an Emmy) for his role as Tyrion Lannister in Game Of Thrones. Imho one of the best TV series ever filmed &#8211; but then I happen to rather like the books it&#8217;s based on. In his acceptance speech, he talks about Martin Henderson and tells people [...]

I can see the sense in this, with so many holiday&#8217;s from NZ &#38; Aus, plus lots [...]

We were on our honeymoon, and had already decided that living in New Zealand was a stellar idea. So we were highly bemused to find ourselves travelling past places called Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt. Neither name exactly instills a [...]

It really is the kind of thing that could only happen here &#8211; I cannot imagine a UK MP ever paying enough attention to political bloggers to lower themselves to engage in this kind of thing.

Now it was very pretty for most people &#8211; though living in a central city apartment we really didn&#8217;t get to see all the nice bits.

The higher the limit, the more it costs. And woe betide anyone going over their limits. Either the Internet crawls to stone age dial up speeds, or you get charged at a [...]

It seems they will have &#8220;Macron&#8221; above the &#8220;a&#8221;, which makes it a long vowel rather than a short vowel. So it would be pronounced Car-Pity rather than Ka-Piti which is how most people say it. The addition [...]
