Now, about George...'The George' to be precise. I scored a free nights accommodation at said hotel and Jonty and I made the most of that last night. Very nice.
About Helen. I had the pleasure of attending the opening of the Beca Heritage Week on Friday night. I took my friend Karen who was in town for the weekend and we got to hang out at the COCA gallery with a cross section of the architecture, local government and other heritage type people. Nice wine, nice food, GREAT music courtesy of the very talented and sweet Flip Grater (whose sister is a friend of Jasmine's).While we were deliberating over Chardonnay v Sauvigon Blanc, there was a buzz and hustle behind us and in walked Helen Clark our Prime Minister. She looked tired, trim and toned, short and prettier than expected
She spoke for a long time, very knowledgably and in a very relaxed manner,
She had very cute security guys and was rushing to catch a plane so whipped out pretty quickly
Whether you like her or not and aside from the fact that it is election year, I was kind of tickled to see the PM up close.
Check out the events this Heritage Week and enjoy something interesting and different in your life. The theme is 'Retrospective' and here are a couple of pics representing some 70's Christchurch architecture

Hey there! This is a great post; the photos of Heritage Week rule! I recognise all those little bits of Christchurch. And how cool that you saw Flip (or as I have always known her, Clare) play live; I caught her music video on youtube. It's cool 'cos it has Helen and the rest of the female Graters in it, and I am so impressed with how Flip's developed her career over the years. All this from starting out with a shaved head in a Salmonella Dub music video about a prostitute (or so it seemed) in 1997.
