WEIRDNESS IN THE BIG SMOKE

I was in Auckland on the weekend after having been further south in Wellington moving my sister from one house to another.

We went to the Auckland Museum to see the suffrage exhibition - Are We There Yet? or, as I said to The Old Girl - the Uppity Women exhibition. This rewarded me with a severe thump which kind of underscores my comment.



This is put together really well and is well worth seeing if you get the chance. If not there is a similar exhibition I believe at Vogel House in the Hutt.

On the way to the museum as we walked through The Domain we came across these nutters having a bit of a ding dong:

Robert will love this as he's the type of person who would get involved in these medieval reenactments.

They were really going at it, bashing each other with the swords emitting grunts and groans that were real. The clanging of sword on helmet I'm sure would have given them headaches. It would have been a hell of a time to live.

Robert has gone again.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Yes, and I didn't even have to publish my post. Just the threat of it drove him away.

Well I thought that I was reasonably intelligent but bugger if I can decipher that last comment of Robert's.

I regret asking now.
