Fog, Dogs, Storytelling At The Lounge

What a wonderful night! A foggy drive to Clareville for dog obedience class. Proof you should always carry a camera, sheep silhouetted on a small hillock under trees, heavily back lit by the lights from the hockey turf, and a fence washed rough grey by the light. A perfect photo and no camera!

Then, onto Kenn Benn http://www.kenbenn.co.nz/Palmerston North, who entertained us at The Lounge, Wine and Tapas Bar Carterton tonight as part of the monthly storytelling sessions. http://www.loungewineandtapas.co.nz/
He told many wonderful stories including from Roald Dahl, and his own story about a priest, who had had a haemorrhoid operation and ended up trapped in a blow up church erected in a hospital ground. He'll be appearing at the Glistening Waters Story Festival, Masterton in October 2008 - well worth a visit. http://www.glisteningwaters.co.nz/
A full house, the smell of wonderful mulled wine and coffee, companionable chat and laughter, and the somehow delicious sight of a Coke poured into heavy stemmed glasses over ice, with a crooked black plastic straw.
