Chillin on a Sunday, Wellington
Been to the market and gym. Had lunch, did my ironing and washing, cooked dinner all while chillin out listening to the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Took some photos while walking the wharf. Civic Square and the art gallery looks like something from Dr Seus. The floating ball in the square looked good and there's a collection of cars in the museum courtyard.
All Blacks played the Wallabies, and won. Reading NZ News online and the only thing that really caught my interest was the "Lost World" article about descending into a huge cave in the Waitomo Valley. Maybe someday soon I'll do that....

NZSO, Thurs 17 Sept
The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is presenting the work of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. His is one of the most original voices of the 20th Century and he once outranked Beethoven in popularity. His music is performed constantly around the globe, but opportunities to experience the sheer enormity of his musical imagination are rare.
“For us, the musicians, Sibelius has emerged as a huge figure, who says things which we have forgotten to listen to in ourselves, or that we are too frightened to listen to. Certainly no local landscape artist, but a great human spirit.” Sir Colin Davis
I listened to his work last night, Symphony No 4 and Symphony No 1.
Symphony No 1 swept me away... Several times it made the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. It was majestic and I enjoyed it immensely.
