• The Muppets' setting of Robert Frost to the tango: And miles to go before I sleep, o-lé! With fond memories of the VUW Muppet Club, we're raising the girls as Muppet fans. My only concern is that Maggie might adopt Gonzo the Great and/or Crazy Harry as role models.


• Starting a new Philip Roth. Reading-wise, he's my guilty pleasure: I somehow feel that as a feminist I oughtn't to enjoy his books quite as much as I do.


• Down by the harbour, the the Len Lye Water Whirler flails and sparkles in the sunshine.


• When the vivid scarlet helicopter takes off, Maggie yells HOPTER! This is her word for both helicopter and grasshopper; a brilliant bit of simultaneous semantic stretching and squashing that I'm sure there must be a linguistic term for.
