My last week in New Zealand

This three-month stay has, quite predictably, gone by in a flash. Ciara is now a little over two months old and trying hard to communicate. She smiles quite freely, as you will see from today's video clip - sorry about the orientation - unfortunately, I can't rotate a video clip, so you'll have to turn your screen sideways if you can :-). Kate, Ciara, and I have just returned from a four-day stay in Auckland. Kate attended a conference there and Ciara and I just hung around the hotel and went for long walks with her in her carriage. It was HOT in Auckland - a pleasant surprise.
I'm very pleased with the number of movie
s I've been able to see while I've been in Dunedin. My movie buddy is my friend Maureen. She's just as keen as I am to work in a movie here and there. The most memorable film I've seen so far is 'The Boy in Striped Pyjamas.' It's definitely not a comedy but it's very well done and certainly worth seeing.
Last month, I planted a lemon tree and a lime tree. They're both bearing fruit and seem to be growing all right. Time will tell.
