when i walked home today i walked along the waterfront. and at waitangi park played where in the world am i?

the answer is i'm in both frankfurt and budapest.

my companion and i wandered through waitangi park, especially lingering on the board walk. lamenting how romantic it was. sometimes being somewhere romantic can be a bit depressing.

walking on we saw this on a wall.

the wall was near where the old prince of wales tavern used to be. it was there in the 70s and 80s and probably part way through the 90s and almost definitely in the 60s. if not earlier. my parents had their wedding reception there. i have photos. my parents basically eloped. the tavern had memories for me too. when i was about 13 i went to this guy julian's 21st. he was a family friend. i was so hot for him. and thought he was flirting with me. i realise now... he probably wasn't. actually, he better not have been.

then from the basin reserve we saw a fight. i took a photo. it is in one of the windows you see here . this is my evidence if there is a murder reported.



we kept walking. i was a bit cold. my mum text messaged me inviting me over for dinner. this is the second day IN A ROW where she has done that. yesterday i couldnt because strong light had made me a roast chicken. and today i couldn't because basically my favourite person in the world had gone diving and caught me a crayfish. which he intended me to have for lunch. but i was much more into it for dinner. i have just finished it and it was divine. the photo, taken on my cellphone, doesn't really do it justice.

also, this part of the post is for AL only: who is the muse today?

thank you.

Also, that lobster looks like it has curled into the foetal position. it is a sad lobster. it makes me want to weep.
