We are currently dealing with horrible winter storms here in NZ. At our home in Titirangi we’ve had numerous power cuts, and some of our windows and doors are boarded up. Oh, and the family dog is sick. There is more but I won’t bore you. Suffice to say it might explain my slightly jaded (and possibly green-eyed) post last

The Big Gong
Another year of Cannes is over. A batch of disgruntled French maids mops up the mess left behind by the drunken ad guy who jumped up and down on a bathroom sink, leaving nothing but a hole.
