    i finally got the shower tap working after a year of it being broken.  told you i would get it fixed.  it’s best not to rush these things.

    i spent at least 14 hours doing computery stuff for the exhibition today.  mainly creating a slide show and building a website.  you can have a sneaky look if you like: www.connections2015.co.nz  it’s not finished yet.
