Personal note: We had a fantastic break over Xmas/New Year with time spent in Napier and Gisborne. Movies seen over Jan/Feb starting from the most recent movies were “The Adventures of Tin Tin (took 4 Wellington mokos), Safe House, The Descendants, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the American version) and would rate them all highly. As you know, reading is my passion and have read lots of books since my last update in November 2011. Currently hooked on James Patterson who writes about a Private Company that investigates criminal cases with all the latest equipment and technology and solves cases even before the police. That’s me for this month – take care.
