i arrived home just before a man came along with a giant metal detector to find where our electricty, gas and telephone cables run so we have nice graffiti all over the front garden

the first lot of gardening happened yesterday too and we now lack trees in front of our house and around the back.  more photos when i’m around during daylight (perhaps if it stops raining over the weekend)

in the evening jane and i went to see The Cure at Vector Arena.  i didn’t get a photo pass so had to make do with taking some snaps from our seat with my compact camera

i tried to get a pass via work because Spark has a marketing arrangement with the promoter, but despite lots of chasing i didn’t hear anything back Sad smile

addendum – i had an email on Friday afternoon from the organisation apologising but they’d missed my email in their inbox and they’d see if they could get me a pass for other shows.  not sure if i 100% believe that story, but we’ll see.  shame anyway!

even though i didn’t get a photo pass i knew where the photographers would be waiting so popped over to say hi.  it’s a small community so i knew all these guys. bit like seeing a group of friends going off to a party without you really!
