Wintering in Raglan

Raglan is freezing this time of year. We arrived at sunset.

Dinner at The Shack consisted of winter vegetable soup and followed by tiramisu trifle. I got sick afterwards though. The restaurant had good mood lighting.

I want one of these ketchup bottles!

The backpackers had plenty of facilities.

I found a memorial for John Noble after going down the walkway down to the shore.

Manu Bay had impressive wind but not much waves. It started to rain by the time we made it to Wainui Beach.

Winter



Good thing Hamilton doesn't get snow. It's still so cold I can't feel my toes!

I began a Masters degree in Material and Process Engineering at the University of Waikato in June.

|| Fashion in the City || Girls Night Out || Aurora Australis ||

Fashion in the city was a catwalk show in Centerplace and Downtown Plaza. Girls Night Out was a shopping event. The five of us went to Coyote for some food. I went home for an early night because of a test on Wednesday.

Frou Frou Fashionista is a luxury lingerie blog. The elegant intimates store Faire Frou Frou is a mother-daughter team based in Studio City California.

I would like to leave you with Aurora Australis images from Environmental Graffiti. The opportunity to see the Southern Lights is fast disappearing due to light pollution. These wistful and haunting images would be great backgrounds.

I made a palette from the photo by Paul Moss. The colours I chose were 'Aurora purpura, granne, castanea, nephritae' and 'gold sequin bright'. The first four were original meaning purple, green, chestnut and jade in Latin respectively. (I stuck to the scientific binomial nomenclature!)

I also made a plaid pattern with the five colours.
